We Will Not Be BOUND!
You need to have some dramatic pause between each word when saying the title of this one, FYI.
Anyway, I say the new Narnia movie (Lion, Witch, Wardrobe) yesterday. Before I review it, I just want to know what happened to theaters being empty on Christmas?! The place was packed for the show before us, and for ours…. they even had to move the ladder off the front row (I don’t know, so don’t ask)!
Regardless, time to review. I thought the movie was very well done and kept to the book really well. That being said, there were a lot of parts that I thought were rushed over…. you know, important scenes that were done in about 30 secs (much like the beginning of the recent Harry Potter movie). I also think that the actress of the White Witch didn’t put enough feeling into her part. In all, I think it’s fun to watch, and nice to see a good high budget movie of this classic series, but I still prefer the BBC version for the full story.
The BBC made the first four books into movies, with the first one being four hours (2 tapes), the next two were each one tape of two hours each, and then the silver chair was another four hour one again (I think)
Besides, I hold great respect for any movie that can get me to cut up bed-spread, masking-tape it to my legs, and do a book report as a fawn.
If you want to know more about that, you gotta earn it ;P
Oh, and to all the new people who are reading the blog…. care to say where you are coming from and where you are getting to my profile from? Is it on some Myst thing, or are you all clicking my name when I comment on my brother’s blog (Thinkers Anonymous)? Just a quick comment will suffice, otherwise I might start poasting geographical locations that people are looking from and calling you out! (;P)

My movie theatre was pretty empty, maybe 15 people total. We saw “Harry Potter.” Now, help me convince Dan he actually wants to see “Narnia.” He doesn’t want to go.
