Home again in my wardrobe
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005Run, run, run, run. Lordy its been a month of travel. But I am home again in my little cupboard in leafy Armadale and about to go to bed, but I thought I would scratch something down first.
Narnia
I saw The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on Boxing Day like a good little boy and eh - its ok. I kind of agree with David and Margaret, but I was not blown away by it. Its been played with a very straight bat -I am sure C.S. Lewis would have approved, as will no doubt the god botherers. The effects are ok, but not exceptional, apart from the Beavers and Aslan. An indication that I wasnt carried away by the story is that I spent some time wondering if the head centaur was actually kind of hot, or if its just that I havent had sex in a loooooooong time. I think its mostly the later.
Tilda Swinton, who I usually adore, is a little wooden and not that scary as the Witch. I have to say I remember the character being a little more interesting, in a petulant, demanding sort of way. This kids however are excellent as are the voice talent for the animals.
Certainly its worth a look, and benefits from the big screen, but if I had to choose, I would pick Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang.

I think I have ironed most of the kinks out of the subscribe function so those three people who are actually reading this site (and you know who you are) can be AUTOMATICALLY updated when I say something trivial. Isn't that neat!

Next stop on the whirlwind tour is Queensland again to see that my mother is ok, and maybe just to visit my friend Tony in Byron Bay at New Years. Rumor has it there is a party there and Tony is trying to get me to go.
