Angels and Demons: Racy entertainer with an edge


Adapting Dan Brown's novel of the same name, Tom Hanks reprises the role of Dr. Robert Langdon, searching and decoding clues at a rapid pace and guess what, it all makes sense in the end. Director Ron Howard creates some amazing moments with Hanks and Ewan McGregor playing their parts with finesse.While the climax may not surprise you, it will not leave you disappointed either. Go for it.

The showpiece
The Camerlengo (McGregor) dropping from a dark and windy Vatican sky with a parachute.

Thou shall not spit



Then God came into it.

Sick of people spitting on the staircase corners, the denizens of this building at M G Road decided to have these square tiles of gods placed in such a manner that no person thinks of persisting with this disgusting habit.

Is it a habit that is hard to knock off? On the other hand, is it the lack of public washrooms, that 'forces' people to disregard matters of hygiene? A mixture of both factors, it seems.
