Went to watch the movie "Da Vinci Code" with friends but was sold out. So we decided to settle for "V for Vendetta" which apparently has been in the theater for a while even here (this was the last weekend that the film was shown at the theater we went to). I didn't expect much from the film since it wasn't the film we wanted to watch in the first place but I actually enjoyed it.

The film is about the totalitalian government that somehow took over the country of the UK and the battle against it started by this masked "terrorist" calls himself V. The similariy found between the UK government in the movie and the paranoid and controlling state of the current US government I'm sure is not a coincidence. The movie reminds us of the mistakes made by many governments around the world by going militant and where we might be headed. Who is it really that's creating the terror?

It's one of those movies that'll get you thinking about something that won't produce no definite answers. In the movie, the answer was to blow up the parliament which I'm sure has upset lots of people... over all, not a bad movie though, there are lots of things you may find either cheesy or not believable but it does get you started on questioning some of the things that have going on around the world.

We'll try and give another shot at "Da Vinci Code" next week... hopefully we'll be able to catch it this time.
