I am so looking forward to the upcoming premiere of The Da Vinci Code movie, hopefully I can take in a morning show. This past Friday, I went to the local Cinemark theatres to check out showtimes but they know nothing yet, they said to comeback on Wednesday (May 17).
Like other great movies; such as Star Wars Episodes I, II and III; that have premiered on May 19, this movie seems destined to be a blockbuster. There must be a special charm to the opening date first chosen by George Lucas and now picked by Ron Howard that promises a very successful run at the box office. My best wishes go out to Director Ron Howard, I am a fan of his work. His movies always have an upbeat feel about them, he is true to the happy child within him and he is a great story teller.
I have been reading in the local newspaper about church groups throughout the world worried about what The Da Vinci Code might do to their faithful. If anything; from my point of view; it will awaken more interest in the Catholic church and other religious denominations and gather new followers. In this day and age, Religion is so important for so many people and rather than an afront, I believe it will have a positive effect and will re-strengthen the faithful. Faith is unseeing, yet believing.
