Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Kaitlyn and I had some time together yesterday. After going to Barnes and Noble and having lunch at Burger King, we went to the new Chronicles movie. It's one we had been wanting to see for awhile.

I won't give the entire movie away (you need to see it for yourself). I will say it's much different than the first. In other words, don't feel like you have to see the first movie before seeing this one. There are a few times where the characters refer to what happened previously (in Narnia/the Wardrobe). However, those times seem to be able to "stand" on their own.

All in all, the movie was great. C.S. Lewis asks important questions: ie. Where is God in all this? Why doesn't He show up when we want Him to? etc. The responsibility of Christians (fighting the spiritual battle)is a theme throughout. Faith, courage, and God's faithfulness came up over and over again.

The movie is about two and a half hours long. It sure didn't seem long. It was inspirational. Kaitlyn and I can't wait for the third Chronicles movie.

For Prince Caspian: THUMBS UP! If you get a chance, go see it!

Expelled!

The wife and I took our annual trip to the "cinema house" this afternoon. After seeing the trailer and reading the reviews of Ben Stein's "Expelled," I had to see for myself.

The Mrs. is not a Ben Stein fan. Needless to say, I was happy the film wasn't as dry as it could have been. Stein does a great job with a serious topic, while making me chuckle from time to time.

This is a movie everyone should see! I'll make you a deal. You buy the popcorn and I'll buy your ticket. Nah, I really don't need the popcorn. But I'll STILL buy your ticket. Go see it!
