retro_eidasThe Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
I liked it. Amongst some of my other friends, I'd have to agree the kids are better actors the first time around than the HP kids were. Only because I'm a total sucker for those I'll stand with you to the end, my liege sorts of characters....
And considering how some folks (:cough:Mrs. Robinsons:cough:) on my FL react to young Mr. Potter, I have to assume this kid probably got some reactions as well...
The kid playing Lucy was also adorable. I was expecting her to absolutely annoy me, as so many actors her age do, but I thought she did well.
Although I initially questioned Leto II cast as Mr. Tumnus, pretty pretty James McAvoy was surprisingly decent. Although I still always pictured him older and more fidgety.... a la Carroll's poor, nervous White Rabbit, but with hooves.
Although I'm amused all the eye-candy in this was very illegal and/or of the wrong species. Thank you C.S. Lewis. Thank you so much. [/sarcasm] Disturbing dreams for me tonight.
Serenity
I readily admit I was never much into Firefly. I think I've probably seen about five eps in their entirety. For some reason or another, I just could never latch onto the show. Despite seemingly everyone I know obssessed with it (then again, I was never a big BTVS fan either). However... I enjoyed Serenity. A lot. So much so I ran out to Target and bought it. Not to mention...
That scene with Kaylee at the end? HOT. Even if I was a bit confused (I thought he was gay?). No matter. Why did no one tell me? Then again, I suppose everyone was saying it, I just wasn't paying attention. I actually enjoyed the movie enough, I'm going to give Firefly another shot. I believe I read recently (on someone's LJ?) Whedon debunked EW rumors that Firefly (and/or the movies) was (were) finished. I really hope that's true. I'd definitely like to see another Serenity. Even if he was tehEVOL. My brother referred to him as (I'd say, sexier) Wayne Brady possessed by Scorpius with a dash of Crouching Tiger. I don't think he was wrong.
