alternate outlets

Spent most of this week doing some minor copy writing at work and some pretty major document creation/manipulation. Came home tonight to leave a rather long response to names' latest entry, so I'm just about typed out.

I will say that I've seen both The Davinci Code and the latest X-Men movie this week and feel that neither deserve the negative reviews they've received from some quarters.

That being said, Davinci Code is too faithful to the book, and ends up a bit meh (that is, less than suspensful) to someone who read it first. (and Tom Hanks, though I like him as an actor, really wasn't who I wanted in that role.) Not my fave, but not the heinous atrocity others have claimed it to be.

X-Men: The Last Stand did lack a few vital scenes that would have solved some of my minor gripes with the film, but it's a slam bang action film with characters I've grown to love and I liked it much more than I thought I would. Especially after hearing the initial reviews. I'm also quite hopeful, given the context of some scenes that did make it into the final film, that those missing scenes I've imagined will appear on the eventual DVD release.
