Narnia
I went this afternoon with a fella from church to the theatre to see the new movie, The Chronicles of Narnia. I really love movies, and this one did not let me down. It was fun from the beginning to the end.
A few thoughts...
I love the way the movie stays so close to CS Lewis's original text. It truly is about as close as a movie can get. Lewis would be proud!
The parallelism between the Bible and the land of Narnia is unmistakable. I especially loved the scene where Aslan laid down his (innocent) life for Edmond's. The way they shame and humiliate him is pretty cool too!
The computer use and imagery is awesome! In my opinion, this is one to see. The kids (over 10 probably) will love it too!

Excellent movie - I also saw it the other day, and noticed the parallels between Narnia and the Bible.
Great film! The faithfulness, power and sacrifice of Aslan are such a great parallels to those qualities in the lion of the tribe of Judah! We read the the books in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series to our children when they were young and watched the movie with them as adults. Lewis has long been one of my favorite authors. His favorite work of mine is "The Screwtape Letters." When I read it in college it opened my mind to important spiritual realities. Wish it too could somehow be made into a movie.
