I don't plan on expecting too much from the new movie Angels and Demons starring Tom Hanks based on the novel by Dan Brown. I do predict that it will be better than the Da Vinci Code. How can two great books suck twice in a row as movies? Unless it's a conspiracy...(inside joke for Dan Brown readers).

Angels & Demons is the prequel to Da Vinci Code and is a must-read if you enjoy Dan Brown's books. Da Vinci Code the movie was the most disappointing novel turned movie I have ever encountered. I read the novel right before it became a hype and it is definitely a book everyone should read. Many extreme religious people find offense to Dan Brown's books, but I find them highly entertaining cerebral reads. His books are wrought with crazy twists, shocking conspiracies, intense action, and subtle romances.

Even if Angels & Demons proves a surprising success, it will never redeem The Da Vinci Code. That has been laid to rest in the pyres of Suckdom since production.
