The summer blockbuster season is well and truly kicking in now with the new 'Star Trek' cutting a swathe through the Box office, X Men Origins: Wolverine doing well despite negative Press (and it's actually damned good, trust Stuff....review coming soon) and the follow-up to 'The Da Vinci Code', 'Angels And Demons' out this weekend.

The official trailer's now been released and whilst concessions have obviously been made for the Multiplex generation, it looks as if the spirit and style of the book has been recreated with some gusto.
