Moviegoers continue to support the efforts of Tom Hanks who, the world universally agrees, just seems like a really nice guy! Guinness World Records announced yesterday that Hanks has won the title of Actor with Most Consecutive $100 Million-Grossing Movies, having had seven big box-office films in a row. E! gets excited about it so you don’t have to:

America's favorite movie star started his lucrative streak with Saving Private Ryan ($216.5 million) in 1998 and capped it with 2002's Catch Me If You Can ($164.6 million). [...]

Hanks' next effort is almost sure to prolong his box-office prowess, although $100 million might be aiming a little low.

E! speaks, of course, of the forthcoming Da Vinci Code movie that currently has Opus Dei’s flagellation belts in a twist over the sect's portrayal in the movie and for asserting the theory that Mary Magdalene and Jesus had a child together.
 
The group recently demanded that director Ron Howard include a disclaimer at the film's beginning. It would read: "This film and the events and characters within it are fictional. Any resemblance of the protagonist's hair to the hair of actual persons, James K. Polk, or Lethal Weapon-era Mel Gibson is unintentional and purely coincidental."

I love Tom Hanks, but I did not like him in Da Vinci Code. Tom looked like he was in a daze just saying his lines, it was a good thing the other actor's where on the ball.That said, I loved the movie it was easy to follow so my husband who did not read the book was never lost during the movie.Don't be disapointed that the movie does not follow the book to the letter it is still a entertaining movie and a must see on the big screen.

Hanks is a superior actor and Howard a superior director. They have a blockbuster on thier hands. They both always put out great quality work that entertains and has staying power to end up being a classic. I myself cannot wait for the movie to come out. I know it fwill entertain, provoke me to thought and reflection as I know it will do for others. We need movies like this to get the populous thinking and considering the possibilities of things.
