Rotten?

Movie website Rotten tomatoes doesn't like the DaVinci Code. (headsup Drudge). And even Rolling stone says it's a dud...

Here in the Philippines, the bishops disagreed with a lot of stricter Christian groups and said it was okay for adults to see...that if a movie threatens your faith, then you need a stronger faith.

That said, the best cynical take on the kerfluffle is by St.Peggy:

After its first screening in Cannes, critics and observers called it tedious, painfully long, bloated, grim, so-so, a jumble, lifeless and talky. There is a God. Or, as a sophisticated Christian pointed out yesterday, there is an Evil One, and this may be proof he was an uncredited co-producer. The devil loves the common, the stale. He can't use beauty; it undermines him. "Banality is his calling card."

Other movie news: WTC trailer is out.
One hopes that Stone doesn't continue his anti American tirades and ruin the movie...
