Director Ron Howard did a good job of redirecting Dan Brown's potboiler crime novel style into a movie with suspense and flow. Tom Hanks was adequate as Professor Robert Langdon. It wasn't his best performance, but not his worst either (seen Turner and Hooch?). Audrey Tautou, who played Sophie Neveu, was pretty and had suitably sad eyes, and was also adequate for the role. Of course Ian Mckellan almost completely stole the show as Sir Leigh Teabing, seconded only by the surprising Paul Bettany as Silas, the albino monk. They also stayed very true to the book, gently sanitizing it in only a few necessary places and leaving the story mostly intact. All in all, it was a good, solid film in my opinion. Certainly worth seeing in the theater and worthy of a 7 out of 10 on the movie mojo scale.

Enviros are winning the war on convincing the world that we are headed for catastrophic changes in the climate. In the name of science they use small increases in temperture to convince us that 1) the earth is on a nearly irreversible course toward climate damage and 2) it is solely the fault of human activity that has brought us this far. Naturally whackos like Bill Maher, Al Gore, Time magazine, Jamie and Bob have jumped on the bandwagon of earth advocacy and activism. But the facts on global warming are generally never kind to these knee-jerk reactionaries.

Taylor Hicks and Katharine Mcphee will sing three songs each during the American Idol final performance show. According to recent media interviews, two of those songs will be songs they ’ ve sung before on the competition, and the third song is a mystery. If history is any indicator, then the third song will likely be an original song, tailored to better suite the style of whichever singer that American Idol producers have decided they would like to win.

I suppose I should say something about Barry Bonds finally catching up to Babe Ruth in the career home run department. I addressed this topic almost three years ago when Bonds spoke publicly about his pursuit of 714 and ultimately 755. I don't think my feelings have changed much. Both Barry and The Babe are alltime great players, and wherever you choose to rank one in comparison to the other, it doesn't take anything away from either one's accomplishments.

"I can't imagine a bigger chill on free speech and the public's right to know what it's government is up to — both hallmarks of a democracy — than prosecuting reporters," she said.

Luskin claims that last May 12, when Rove was supposedly at his attorney's office getting a whole load of bad news from special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, Luskin had accompanied his cat to the vet for some stool tests. (Everything's fine with the cat.) Kurtz also gives some background on Jason Leopold's James Frey-like past of lying and drug addiction.

Fred Burton, a counter-terrorism expert of Stratfor, was interviewed on camera. He stated that now is the perfect time for terrorists to sneak across the border. Escalating violence and an unprecedented flood of illegals is distracting law enforcement and stretching it thin. Zapata County sheriff, Frederigo Gonzales Jr. says that as for Wmds, it is not a matter of “ if ”, but “ when ”.

Knight of the Realm Ian Mckellen has started a slanging match with Catholic church leaders, accusing them of “ snobbery ” over The Da Vinci Code movie. The 66-year-old, who plays aristocrat Sir Leigh Teabing in the film, said: “ There were no statements from people in powerful places condemning the book. “ Is that because readers can be trusted to have minds and people that go and see movies need to be protected? “ I think there ’ s a bit of snobbery going on as regards cinema. Cinema-goers are just as intelligent as readers and they will make up their own minds. They will have a fantastic time, a fantastic ride. ”

I believe Sarah Michelle Gallar has the same feeling. She has refused the idea of reprising the role on the big screen, but has still been stuck in genre films like The Grudge -- a decent enough movie. She is trying to get away from the teenie bopper image by appearing in the upcoming movie, Southland Tales. The movie is by Richard Kelly, whomm I have already spoken highly of for Donnie Darko. The movie is about a Los Angeles in the near future, a city about to collapse upon itself because of excess and immorality. The part that has fans all excited? The squeaky clean Gellar has a nude scene.

The Fifth District School Board Member said that Board Member Anderson's position was elected in the primary. A primary is NOT the election. The election is August 3, 2006, Board Member Anderson must win the election on August 3, 2006 in order to serve from September 1, 2006 - August 31, 2010. The Fifth District School Board Member should check the facts before making pronouncements about Board Member Anderson being elected in May. It is an assumption that someone is elected simply because they are on the ballot un opposed in the general election and will win the General election.

After arriving at her St John's Wood pad at 5 am Moss began kicking and punching him in the street. Doherty says, "She was angry about the blood spraying thing. She beat the crap out of me. She layed into me punching and kicking." I'm alright, but she hurt my finger. I couldn't do anything back, because she's a girl. "

While everyone else in their group was dancing on tables, they were sitting next to each other, very closely. They were laughing and looking into each other ’ s eyes in a rather romantic way. There was no public making out, but they were definitely there on a date." From The Sun! That picture of them is from the People's Choice Awards... not from this concert.

Ballmer, speaking in Beijing after a news conference, did not elaborate. Last week, Symantec sued Microsoft, accusing it of misappropriating trade secrets used in Vista. Symantec is seeking an injunction that would block the further development, sale or distribution of Vista and other products until all Symantec intellectual property is removed.

And in that all important week 4, you get the new Disney film "Cars". Looking further into June you have another Fast and the Furious, a sappy love story with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves (and sadly, no bus), a Jack Black comedy, an Adam Sandler comedy, and then right at the end of the month you get Merryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" and then the newest Superman movie. I'm not sure the Da Vinci code won't stay in the top five until at least July based on all that.

But of course, everyone knew this was in the cards when Rattner was hired, and if you accept the downgrade as the way of the corrupted world it's not that bad to sit through." And at Ain't It Cool News, Moriarty's prayers are answered -- the movie doesn't suck.

When asked if he accepted the nomination, Ian said'Certainly not'and went on to say that everyone knew why he was refusing and that the majority of Unionists supported him. So when will Mr P and the DUP accept that the IRA are gone away and that Sinn Féin have forsaken violence? In six months? In a year? After the next positive report from the Commission? After the one after that? They'll have to sit down together at some stage, so why not sooner rather than later.

Malcolm Gladwell reviews the aforementioned book, The Wages of Wins. It's an interesting piece, though at this point I think all serious basketball fans already know that statheads think Allen Iverson is overrated. If you want to see a truly controversial claim, check out this 1999 paper by one of the book's authors looking at the 1997-1998 MVP race. The leading candidates were Michael Jordan and Karl Malone. They conclude that Malone had a superior season, worth 18.83 wins as opposed to Jordan's 16.44 wins. Fair enough.

Another deadly Florida species is Scott Kazmir, who gave up four hits and matched a career high with 11 strikeouts over eight innings as the Devil Rays beat Dontrelle Willis and the Marlins 3-0.
