It's no "Brokeback Mountain", But "Narnia" is fantastic

I went with my family and some friends to see "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" last evening. The theater (one of those complex places) was packed and we showed up with pre-bought tickets 15 minutes before the start of the previews - and we had to stand in line to get in

I can only say that it was wonderful in every possible way. From the wonder of Lucy, played by Georgie Henley, as she enters Narnia and meets Tumnus, to the Resurrection of Aslan, everything faithfully followed Jack Lewis' books as we could only hope. My favorite scene was probably the one where Aslan, as well as Susan and Lucy, go to the Witch's place and restore the frozen folk with a breath from Aslan. Is there any question about the identity of Aslan?

Of course, Narnia's no Brokeback Mountain. The gay cowboy movie was picked by the LA Film Critics as the best movie. Narnia, unsurprisingly, didn't make the list.

Thank God.

Long Live Aslan!
