With 'Angels & Demons,' Ron Howard Continues His Attempt to Imitate Spielberg -- and Failsnew
This overwrought chase/final-countdown movie is as banal as the genre comes. It's not a well-made action film; it's just expensively made. Howard's incompetence hides behind high-priced collaborators and goofy F/X.

Once Again, Everyone Takes Dan Brown Way Too Seriously
Dan Brown gets a bad rap for his unique brand of beach-reading literature, but maybe he just should have been born 60 years earlier. If his work was going to be turned into cinema, it really should have been for 1930s serials.
