Stellan Skarsgard just made a lot of studio executives berry berry angry. 

While promoting his new film, Angels & Demons, which opens today, Stellan Skarsgard put his foot in it big time by insulting The Da Vinci Code author, Dan Brown.

During an appearance on a Swedish talk show, he admitted he only agreed to appear in Angels & Demons after reading the script based on the book.

Bless us father, but we must confess, the Dan Brown/Da Vinci Code bus is not one we ride.

However, Angels & Demons, the prequel to Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and the follow up to the blockbuster 2006 film adaption, is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. 

It must be a miracle! A sequel that’s better than its predecessor.

Dan Brown’s third book in the The Da Vinci Code series hasn’t even made it to stores yet, but the film adaptation has already been green-lit.

That’s because it’s a freakin’ cash cow!

The film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks in 2006, grossed more than $758 million worldwide and the prequel, Angels & Demons, which opens on May 14th, is expected to do equally massive business.

Woo woo, time to ride that gravy train all the way to the end of the line.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
