HOORAY TALKING ANIMALS AND EPIC FANTASY BATTLES!  (Yes, I am 5 years old.)

It was good!  If you liked the first one, you should like the second one.  So go see it so it makes lots of money and they make the other 5 before the kids get too old.

Note: Parents of small children should be warned that the second movie is darker and more explicitly violent than the first.

I realized this afternoon that I really don't remember what happens in any of the books beyond the first (I read them over 20 years ago).  I think I'll order the boxed set and re-read them all and wallow in childhood nostalgia.

I want to take archery lessons.  And visit New Zealand.

Jacqueline, I hope you realize that all the Narnia stories are an allegory for Christianity.

So? A good story is a good story.

I enjoyed Xena and I don't believe in Ares, Zeus, Aphrodite, etc. either.

I enjoy Battlestar Galatica and I believe in neither the Gods of Kobol nor the Cylon God.

Xena and Battlestar Galactica weren't written with the intent of indoctrinating children, either.

So? Dune was an allegory for Muhammed's life, and that's a much more seriously bad religion.

I really don't have a big problem with it myself. I'm just surprised because Jacqueline is rather consistently anti-Christian, as far as I've been able to tell.

Well, if you do come here you are required to say "hi".

I know I didn't when I was in Las Vegas for CTIA Wireless in April .. but I completely forgot I knew anyone who lived there!

Btw, unlike Harry Potter books, these don't have the same kids in them all. Pretty sure there are only maybe two in the next one (Lucy and Edmund), and then that's about it.
