Narnia II - Innocence Betrayed

The title says it all - the movie version of Prince Caspian was barely child-proof. Two or three parents left The theater midway through the film due to the overly drawn out violent battle scenes. The rating was PG for “epic battle action and violence.” It should have been a PG-13 not only for the blood n’ sword swinging, but also for the surprise nookie at the end. Dare I say more… you are forewarned.

Then there is the story line factual editing. Oh my! It would have helped me to have read the book before going to see the film (heeding my own advice), I could still remember enough of it to speak out, “That’s not in the book!”

Over all, I give the movie a C- on the American grading scale. The first Narnia movie was much, much better!

My 300th Post

My dashboard tells me this will be the 300th post I have written for my blog. I wish I had something impressive to share with y’all!

We have the day off today. Jeff is napping after eating out with a group of men from church. They do a weekly lunch together but Jeff rarely gets to go because of his strict school schedule. I bought some lovely light blue fabric for a new jumper from Joanns. There is a cream-colored blouse with blue embroidery sitting in the back of my closet just waiting for a matching jumper.

In a couple of hours we will head out to see the premier of the Prince Caspian move. I hardly ever go see movies in the theater, let alone on opening day. I had a free ticket coupon to use, so I saved it for this event. You see, my dad read the Chronicles of Narnia to me as bed time stories, six times through. They are deeply ingrained into my psyche! So the incredible movie adaptations now coming out were a must-see in my estimation.

And, yes, you should read the book before seeing the movie.
