MANILA, Philippines - The adventures of controversial symbologist Robert Langdon, who once tangled with the Catholic Church in *The Da Vinci Code*, can now be watched by high school-age audiences. The Movie & Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) review committee unanimously gave the new Robert Langdon thriller *Angels & Demons* a teen-friendly rating of R-13 after it previewed the Tom Hanks-starrer recently, according to Columbia Pictures, the film’s local distributor. An R-13 rating means any moviegoer aged 13 and above can be admitted in a theater showing the particular film. This favorable rating also allows*Angels & Demons* to be shown in all cinema chains across the country when it opens on May 15. *Angels & Demons* is the follow-up to *The Da Vinci Code* whose divisive, hot-button theories on Christianity were met with uproar from religious sectors when it opened in 2006. The MTRCB gave*The Da Vinci Code* an R-18 rating which forbade admission of moviegoers aged 17 years old and below.Also, SM Cinemas, which has a policy against R-18-rated movies, did not show the said film in their cineplexes. -- spanx' blog: http://spankyenriquez.blogspot.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gimik" group.
