Da Vinci Code - um, maybe not a must-see

Cogs' review of The Da Vinci Code is in (longtime CIT readers will know that The Great Gary Cogill of WFAA-TV is the best movie critic on the planet, at least for my money), and it's not good.

He calls it "addicted to mediocrity", "terribly talky", and "cinematically flat and not very interesting". Oh dear.

Of course, I thought the book was tremendously underwhelming, as did most critics. And yet, Dan Brown has sold nearly 50 million copies and cashed in on a huge movie deal. All of which probably means the movie will gross $300 million in domestic box office and another $500 million overseas.

And no one will care that it sucks.
