On the Narnia movie

For anyone who's still interested in review of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," I’ve posted some comments at my personal blog. I include a lengthy excerpt from an equally lengthy but very worthy review by Stephen D. Greydanus.

(The short version: The movie is engaging and beautiful; Lucy and Edmund are excellently played. The main themes from Lewis' book are present. However, the film takes many subtle departures from the book, some for the better but most not. The true moral and spiritual dynamics behind character actions and some of the symbolism/metaphor as described in the book are not portrayed.)

Happy New Year, everyone!
