                               Angels & Demons

Bunny and I saw “Angels and Demons [1]” tonight, and I must say, it was way
more enjoyable than the book [2], mainly because the movie excised some of
the sillier aspects of the book, like the harrowing helicopter ride (and if
you've read the book, you know of which I speak)and the death of the evil
henchmen is handled better.

Oh, and no X-33 [3] airplane (thankfully).

The backstory of the recently deceased Pope was removed, which was one aspect
of the book I found interesting, but I can see why it was cut for the movie—
simply no time to delve into it.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie way more then the book.

Then again, the book felt like a rought draft of a movie anyway.
