I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating. The man is a genius.
"The film is directed by Ron Howard and written by Akiva Goldsman, the master wordsmith who brought us “Batman & Robin.” I assumed that such an achievement would result in Goldsman’s being legally banned from any of the verbal professions, but, no, here he is yet again."
From his review of The Da Vinci Code, which begins:
"The story of “The Da Vinci Code” goes like this. A dead Frenchman is found laid out on the floor of the Louvre. His final act was to carve a number of bloody markings into his own flesh, indicating, to the expert eye, that he was preparing to roll in fresh herbs and sear himself in olive oil for three minutes on each side."
I bow before the master. And then I go attempt to review The Promise, a (relatively) pretty bore if ever there was one.
