we review every movie we watch. one per year.
We watched the Narnia movie. Leah's parents got it from NetFlix and lent it to us so there was alot of pressure to watch it quick and get it back in the mail so they could rent something else. All in all it wasn't bad; not as bad as it could have been, in any case. The previews and the tv ad for the video game led me to expect the whole thing to be taken up with battles and valor, and also cool sword tricks in the true hollywood tradition. Happily, the beginning of the movie followed the book nicely, and was also fun to watch on its own merits (except the silly scene with the waterfall). After Aslan was killed (OMG spoiler warning!), though, things took a turn for the worse. As Aslan returned to the battle at the head of a huge army of revitalized recently-statues, I explained the movie-maker's point to Leah: who cares about sacrifice unless you come back from the dead with reinforcements!
Leah's joke was funnier though. "It's just like in the Bible: the lion lies down with the lamb and then they go kick some ass!"
