Been a long time...

So I haven't exactly been posting as I've been watching. I've seen several movies since my first post and I've eaten at several restaurants.

I'll try to start reviewing as a I watch and dine; that way, I won't get behind. I'm a genius.

In case anyone ever does visit this blog and wants to know, the most recent film I've watched is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Excellent feature: it was true to the book, the acting was magnificent (especially considering the respective ages of the leads), and the message was moving, just as C.S. Lewis intended it.

In reviewing a book or movie, the author's or filmmaker's intent is paramount in giving the ultimate rating: if he or she did not accomplish what was intended, the work is, to some degree, a failure. In my opinion, both C.S. Lewis' and Andrew Adamson's intents were accomplished. Bravo.
