Angels & Demons (2009)
SO Disappointed!
I went to see the movie last night after just finishing the book on Monday night. They didn't just leave things out to streamline the story, they changed up a lot and left out a couple of the most important elements of the story (Kohler for one, the fact that the Carmelengo was NOT IRISH for another). The Carmelengo was portrayed as being just power-hungry and maybe delusional, when in reality there was SO much more going on there.
I sat there and just sighed through the whole movie. Loudly. My boyfriend really enjoyed the movie and is now reading the book. I guess he did it in the right order. Yes, things were changed for the DaVinci code, but not to the same degree (in my opinion).
it's good as a movie in and of itself, and if you know nothing of the book it might even be great. If you've read the book, though, prepare to be vastly disappointed.
Masters of Horror: The Washingtonians (2007)
are you kidding me?
this was awful. just awful. i probably am of that mind because i actually READ the short story this is based on. i adore Bentley Little and his ability to take the mundane and terrify you with it.
the premise is awesome. but the acting was horrible, and the added stuff took away from the story.
though i DID quite enjoy the bit about "tastes like chicken". that was about the only redeeming thing in my opinion.
none of the acting was believable.
at all.
sorry, it just wasn't.
maybe i'm expecting too much from a TV series, but i was so disappointed by what i saw.
