Narnia

  In my mind I’m jumping about like a little kid. As a sensible adult, I am containing my excitement at having seen the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’. It is one of my all time favourite books, and yet I was relatively unconcerned about whether or not the film would be a ‘true’ representation of Lewis’ work. I’m learning to not compare a film and a book, as I’ve found that you’ll generally be disappointed if you do.

Serenity?

Given a title like that you’d think it would be a calming film with some picturesque landscapes and Bambi skipping round the forest…err…no. But then, maybe that’s the point.
