When Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a non-stop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope for survival.

Angels and demons is a fine sequel to The Da Vinci Code which is itself, a fine sequel to Where God went wrong, Some more of God's greatest mistakes and Who is this God person anyway? I'm not a Roman Catholic, Christian, or deity-worshipper. I haven't been baptised. I don't have any godparents. I have been in a church and I've been past a Jewish temple and I think that I saw a mosque from the train and those Hari Krishna dudes make some yummy food. That's as close as I get to religion. Deities suck. And how can you take a bunch of old men wearing dresses all that seriously?
Here's something to think about: Jesus went wandering around in the desert. He must have pissed on bushes and even backed one out occasionally. In the desert, things desiccate. A turd left lying around or even buried under some sand would petrify pretty quickly and after a couple of thousand years would be a nice little fossil. So, if you go digging around in the Levant you could find some of Jesus's faeces. Holy crap!
The supernatural, thriller movie Angels and demons is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor.
