Journal FortKnox's Journal: King of the jungle, old evil woman, & a place to hang coats 14
I'll update life tomorrow... just wanted to say something about the Chronicles of Narnia.
Never read the book (though its on my list) and I have to say the movie was absolutely fantastic. If you like LoTR (if you didn't, you are messed up), then you'll enjoy Narnia (C.S.Lewis and Tolkien were buddies... in fact Tolkien converted Lewis to Christianity... some of the 'major themes' are very similar, too.

But narnia was perfect, and tumnus needs much more acting exposure. I was thrilled with the gentleman who plays the grown up Digory whatever-his-name-is (the professor.) I'm hoping that he will be in more films.
I also really hope that she

Looking forward to seeing the movie too. Thought I was going to be seeing it some time this week, but don't think my little one is old enough to see it. Safe enough for a 6-7 year old kid? I'm thinking no, but...

Oh well, I am sure the movies will be good, so whatever works out in the long run,maybe I'll go after the books again, if I can find them.
