The Day Before “The Da Vinci Code”
Stephanie Zacharek, senior writer at Salon.com, writes in her 5.18.06 review of The Da Vinci Code, “I was in Catholic school when “The Exorcist” was released, and one of the nuns warned us that if we went to see it, there was a chance we could become possessed by the devil ourselves. Naturally, some of my classmates took that as a signal to rush right out and see the thing; Sister Joanne had managed to vest the movie with more power than it could ever have had intrinsically.”
Our local Catholic high school hasn’t disappointed Sister Joanne.
