I can remember the summer I read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I found it thoroughly entertaining and somewhat ‘gripping.’ (In fact, I read it before his The Da Vinci Code, which, because of its total disregard of the truth of the Scriptures and the deity of Christ, ticked me off. But, it too was a good ‘read’.)
This past Friday, the boys and I caught the early 10:45 am showing of Angels and Demons at Celebration Cinema (pretty cheap) in Lansing. I found the movie thoroughly entertaining … albeit implausible. Tom Hanks once again plays Harvard symbologist, Robert Langdon. Even though the Vatican is upset with him because of his previous ‘discoveries’ in The Da Vinci Code, it desperately needs him NOW.
You see, in the next 24 hours, during which time the College of Cardinals begins meeting to elect a new Pope (who it turns out was murdered inside the Vatican), Langdon, hopefully, can figure out some clues and a dire threat left by the Illuminati. Clues? For what? Why? Threat? Illuminati?
