The Da Vinci Code (2006)
While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever. (read more)

This is essentially a caper flick, much in the vein of perhaps THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, but because of its religious implications (that Jesus was not divine but instead was a regular man who had a wife who carried on his royal blood), people are either taking it far too seriously or far too nonchalantly.
The simple fact...

I guess I'm not really qualified to judge Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown's work; I read 50 pages of his Angels & Demons at a Wal-Mart and put it back on the shelf based on how incredibly awful it was even though I had been planning on buying it. Had I been checking out Ron Howard's film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code at a...

After all the controversy, protests, talk, and guess what? In between all of that, there's a film. THE DA VINCI CODE is finally here. The last thought in my head after the credits rolled was, that's what all the controversy was about? There is absolutely nothing about this film that will change anyones views at all. If the...

After listening to a couple of reviews of "The Da Vinci Code", I wasn't expecting a lot. It has been a long time since I have heard such universally bad word of mouth regarding a film; people laughed and hissed during the screening at Cannes, it received a bad review on a local NPR station, practically every website has...

Dan Brown's novel, known as The Da Vinci Code, has sold perhaps over sixty million copies worldwide and is one of the most popular books since the bible itself. The book fictionally jumbles some of the facts and incorporates Leonardo Da Vinci as being one of the holders of an ancient secret as part of Opus Dei. Opus Dei is...
