I was surprised by his performance, especially after years of crap performances in awful action films

DaVinci Code 0/10. I gave up after about an hour as I was bored stiff. The film was destroyed by Tom Hanks' stiffness and a sense that this is a very important film and therefore it must be very very serious. Another masterpiece from the legendary Ron Howard.

Immortal Beloved 7/10 Having given up on the Davinci Code, I resaw Immortal Beloved (a biography of Beethoven) - a much better film.

The director Bernard Rose is one to look out for. His best known film is Candyman. He also made Paperhouse, a very strange film based on Marianne Dreams and worth looking out for. He also has a bit of an interest with Beethoven and Tolstoy. I suspect he finds it difficult to raise finance for the films he would loke to make, but it is worth seeing how he develops (or not) over the years, as one day he could make a masterpiece.
