Inferno: Robert Langdon Is Back! (Yawn!)
Ron Howard’s adaptation of Dan Brown’s Inferno may be the one that kills the franchise.

MOVIE REVIEW: Angel and Demons, Not too Bad, Michelle’s Review!
I’m not a fan of Tom Hanks or Ron Howard and I also hated The Da Vinci Code so to say I wasn’t enthused to see the sequel, Angels and Demons would be an understatement. It starts off a little slow but somehow I found myself getting sucked into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of […]
