Narnia to the big screen
and it makes quite a few people ... well ... nervous.
A whole plethora of reviews are gathered at Rotten Tomatoes. By and large, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is getting a thumbs-up, take-the-family recommendation of reviewers. What I find interesting is the tone of those that are hostile to the picture:
... a crass product of merchandised morality from Disney and Walden Media, a media company owned by Christian evangelist billionaire Philip Anschutz. ... In keeping to a PG rating, not to mention placating his Christian paymasters, Adamson makes war seem a pretty bloodless and painless affair *Regardless of the aspect of frightening Christianity (cue the sound of horses screaming) I plan on seeing this movie soon.

Of course they hate Narnia, and C.S. Lewis! Lewis was clever, learned, interesting, the leading Christian apologist of the 20th Century! Of course the left side of the culture wars can't stand him!
The battles over C.S. Lewis are going to be almost as jolly as the ones over Christmas!

Ah, Darleen... Truly, you are a mistress of the pithy jibe! Im hoping to see Narnia tomorrow (matinee - I'm not completely bonkers - just mostly, LOL), and I'm certain I will enjoy it, even if it doesn't quite meet up with my high expectations.
And only YOU could invoke Frau Bleucher (sp?) with Narnia, LOLOLOL!
