Angels and Demons

Last night I watched "Angels and Demons".

Once again, Tom Hanks reprises the role of Dr. Robert Langdon; the role he played in "The da Vinci Code" and once again, Tom Hanks's hair style was a distraction throughout the movie as it's now quite ordinary and the fact that it is so and not the distraction it was in the earlier film, makes it even more distracting! (If you know what I mean)

Apart from the haircut, the film was an enjoyable romp through the Vatican, though I'll always appreciate the book more then the film, especially as I was reading it during the ascension of Pope Benedict XVI; the book helped me appreciate the significance of the colour of the smoke emanating from the chimney of St. Marks Cathedral.

However the most sexy thing about the film was not the divine Ayelet Zurer, but the super sexy black Alfas, the police used to whirl around the Vatican with. That defined the tempo of the film, it was a non stop chase; a sort of Italian Job meets Indiana Jones.
