I thought the Da Vinci Code was the biggest pile of pants I have seen in a very long time. Sir Ian was the only saving grace. I haven't read the book (not for any religious reasons- I just didn't want to get caught up in hype) so I couldn't tell you if it was similar.

I don't know if it is going to be shown in US, but if you want to see something very, very strange, may I recomend the uber weird "Lemming." It's a French thriller & its ssssstttraaannnggggeeee - but in a good way. ;)

"Brick" is fantastic if you like a twist on film noir.
