Angel or Demon ?


Hubby and I had a date yesterday & we decided to go see Angels & Demons.  

My review is two thumbs up.

The movie made me ponder the roles of church and science and question if either is compromised if they co-exist?   Think modern day - stem cell research....

While not a Catholic, I appreciate all the tradition that the Catholic church maintains and enjoyed watching it play out in the movie.  

LOVED all the splendor of Roma & the Vatican as shown throughout the movie.  The architecture and the history and the gelato (there was no gelato in the movie!!)  makes me want to plan my next trip to Roma now!

Gordon Gekko

I was very excited to read that Wall Street 2 will be hitting the big screen in summer 2010. In 1987 when Wall Street debuted, I was a junior in college and this movie, in my opinion, had such an impact on my generation.  I loved this movie.  It seemed more than ever, everyone wanted to get an MBA and head to the real Wall St. and capitalize on the famous Gordon Gekko line, "Greed is good."  We were/are the generation of "I need more".  GG was a trendsetter too, remember this look?

Michael Douglas will be back as Wall Street's cut throat trader, Gordon Gekko.  Appears there are talks with Shia LeBeouf to take the role of Gordon's newest apprentice.  With all the great material ripped from today's headlines, I can't wait to see where Oliver Stone takes us.    

Do you have a movie that speaks to your generation?   Caddyshack doesn't count :)
