The Chronicles of Narnia

I have got my knickers in a bunch because I had the opportunity to see a sneak preview of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe last night! I really should have gone straight home and written this posting instead of the following morning however, I am sure I can still describe accurately just how phenomenal this movie is. Obviously, for those of you that have read the books, this movie brings back memories of a simpler time when we were kids (which I presume is when most people read these books). The movie sticks close to the original story penned by C.S. Lewis – known for this series as well as various books on Christianity.

This flick has something for everyone. The soundtrack is amazing and made the hair stand up on my arms at times. Special effects are top notch – recreating Narnia with all its characters including Mr. Tumnus – a minotaur, the great Aslan – the King of Narnia as well as other mythical creatures including centaurs, phoenix(‘s?), chimeras, unicorns, etc. The young actors portraying the young hero’s and heroines of this story are not only talented but simply delightful as well. Simply put – go see this movie. You will not be disappointed.
