Da Vinci Code

[AG4]

Entertaining movie naman (twists, action scenes, mystery solving). Never read the book, but previously heard some stuff already from folks who read already.

I also found the movie entertaining just like the book.
...but some other interesting explainations on Da Vinci's paintings didn't make it to the (149min) movie version.
