Movies to look out for


Ahoy there shipmates! This year we have some big movies sailing onto our screens and I'm starting to get excited!
Getting a special mention are Brokeback mountain(out today), Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (July) and The Da Vinci Code (May), all movies I'm dying to see.
Brokeback mountain is based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx. Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men -a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys, and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.
If you have seen the first POTC then you will understand my anticipation of the second installment of the trilogy. With the original cast in tact, it's set to be a summer smash.
Finally, The Da Vinci Code, for those of you who have yet to read the book (where have you been for the last year?), the film should prove to be just as succesful. I urge you to read the book before the movie is released and I highly recommend Dan Brown's other works. Angels & Demons being my personal favourite as it also features Robert Langdon, the character from The Da Vinci Code. Langdon is a loveable , intelligent, slightly 'geekified' Indiana Jones, and proves to be a formidable hero in both novels.
Happy reading...
