The DA VINCI CODE is now officially banned by Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Reason:
Dan Drown told her that she's a direct descendant of Judas Iscariot. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ay, ay, kadayawe nan ini na thread!!!

An ako da lang mahisulti is this:

Let's not forget that Jesus was conceived and was born by a normal person, the Virgin Mary and that human attributes emanate in Him. In fact, several scriptures in the bible depict the humanity of Jesus by defying his mohter's wishes that even during the last moments in his life on earth He called Mary "Babaye" not "Mother". These are exhibitions of the true nature of His being 'human' notwithstanding His being a God.

Human as He was, He was subjected to all sorts of humanly desires, hence the controversy that Jesus had sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene and had a son is not surprising as a testimony of humanity.

My philosophy runs this way: We should welcome and watch Da Vinci Code instead of boycotting and hating it. Haven't even read the book yet. Let us be entertained by this very famous story for behind this, there lies the true measure of our faith. For me, Da Vinci Code or no Da Vinci Code -- no amount of criticism, defamation, controversies, etc. would ever change the way I put my faith into practice. I was born and is a believer in Christ and would always be. Halleluia!

Hello guyz! Let me share to you the latest commentaries made by people who watched Da Vinci Code. (This data is provided by the Movie Review Query Engine)

"Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman struggle mightily to cram as much as possible of Dan Brown's labyrinthine thriller into a 2-hour-28-minute running time, resulting in a movie both overstuffed and underwhelming."
-- David Ansen, NEWSWEEK

"The movie is so nervous about offending anyone that it's hardly any fun."
-- Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"As a film derived from a book, The Da Vinci Code isn't a fiasco on the order of The Bonfire of the Vanities nor is it a triumph a la The Lord of the Rings. Instead, it's an acceptable but uninspired simulacrum."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE

"... it's not very good -- long (2hr.32min.) and mostly inert."
-- Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE

"Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's bestseller is punishingly long, dramatically overwrought and fatally short on the thrills we demand from summertime blockbusters."
-- Colin Covert, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

"The movie works; it's involving, intriguing and constantly seems on the edge of startling revelations."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"... the more you liked the book, the more likely you are to like the movie."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

"The film is faithful enough, but it's hard to imagine it making many converts."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A jumble of historical myth, religious symbology and international thriller-action makes for an unwieldy, bloated melodrama."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"The most controversial thriller of the year turns out to be about as exciting as watching your parents play Sudoku."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

"Monotonous, colorless and entirely too serious, the film self-flagellates all the fun out of Dan Brown's story."
-- David Foucher, EDGE BOSTON

A jumble of historical myth, religious symbology and international thriller-action makes for an unwieldy, bloated melodrama.
-- Hollywoodreporter.com

"A jumbled, joyless affair that neither entertains nor enlightens."
-- Shawn Adler, IGN FILMFORCE

"Too measured to be lively, too skittish to be provocative, too dramatically slack to be more than a ploddingly literal book-on-film."
-- Peter Canavese, GROUCHO REVIEWS

"[A] wishy-washiness and its general tonal flatness betray a clock-punching mentality the cast and crew seem to have adopted for its production."
-- Jeffrey Chen, REELTALK MOVIE REVIEWS

"At least the theological controversy doesn't swamp the fun."
-- Rich Cline, SHADOWS ON THE WALL

"I cannot vouch for the novel, but the movie is a remarkably underwhelming experience."
-- David Cornelius, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"Way too long and duller than watching Da Vinci's paint dry...takes away the book's little credibility and makes the flaws more obvious."
-- Edward Douglas, COMINGSOON.NET

"Who knew controversy could be so dull?"
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES

"It's hard to comprehend how a film with so much questioning and answering between characters has less character development than Poseidon."
-- Michael Ferraro, FILM THREAT

"The script explains everything twice, spelling out the big words three times, so that even if you've never heard of Jesus or Mary Magdalene you can still figure out this story."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, COMBUSTIBLE CELLULOID

""The Da Vinci Code" is essentially just another average Hollywood thriller. Nothing more."
-- Angela Baldassarre, SYMPATICO.CA

"Every time Langdon starts to educate Sophie, the urge to tune out is overwhelming."
-- Josh Bell, LAS VEGAS WEEKLY

"The problem is the pace, which suffers when demands of explication force Howard to pull his foot off the gas."
-- Greg Burk, L.A. WEEKLY

"So, does The Da Vinci Code live up to the hype? Sort of. It's not a terrible film by any stretch, but it's not perfect either."
-- Kevin Carr, 7M PICTURES

"Ron Howard plays it too safe keeping fans of the book in line, objectors at bay and alienates anyone coming into the hype with thoughts of 'that's what everyone is up in arms about?'"
-- Erik Childress, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"Looking for that Holy Grail of blockbuster movies? Keep looking. You won't find it in "The Da Vinci Code," an overblown, bland ghost of the best-seller by Dan Brown. "
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)

"As for the film's entertainment virtues, forget it. This is one of the most talky and pretentious major films in memory."
-- Steve Crum, VIDEO-REVIEWMASTER.COM

"If there’s anything to be learned from this dud, it’s that when you decide to adapt an explosive property like The Da Vinci Code, playing it safe isn't safe ..."
-- David Edelstein, NEW YORK MAGAZINE

"Retarded, ridiculous and crushingly dull."
-- Devin Faraci, CHUD

"Langdon's not a human character, but an amalgamation of pop-up trivia and pensive stares and there's nothing Hanks can do to make him sympathetic, interesting or engaging."
-- Dan Fienberg, ZAP2IT.COM

"The movie is woefully plotted and just flat-out, eye-crossingly dull."
-- Phoebe Flowers, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow."
- ronald e. Osborn

one moon vanquizt wrote:for those who find dan brown's dvc and a @ d entertaining and enlightening as well, try the master of this literary sub-genre, UMBERTO ECO... you'll find labyrinthine wisdom, historical truths, half-truths and untruths in one engaging ride...his Name of the Rose runs spy thriller plots and subplots of arcane and medieval secrets complete with killer monks and renaissance lifestyle...his Foucault's Pendulum melds physics and end-of-the-world acrobatics in one sweeping poetic frontier...another good alternative to dan brown's is ian caldwell's rule of four, less cinematic pretentions, more arcane knowledge...


One Moon,

I think I know you? Haven't you sent me an e-mail which I failed to respond? If you were the one--- I was touched, and yes I adhered completly to what you said. But wait, if you are not this person I'm thinking about , just ignore what I said. What made me think of you is the "Anahao Bag-o."

Long kon ikaw man galing ini i PM mo ako ha?

Keep blogging One Moon.
