The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
This is definitely a must-see movie for everyone reading this post. I am not kidding, this was a surprise in that it was so much better than I had thought possible. I am sure many of you have read the book, and some have read all of C.S. Lewis' books on Narnia. (Actually I am ashamed to admit that I have not read any of them.) As you watch, you wonder how anyone ever dreams up a story like this. Lewis definitely had talent far and above average. I would even say the man is a genius. Disney did a great job, not only with the special effects, but conveying the message or theme of the book. It is such a great parallel to the Gospel story. I am not a great reader, but I will definitely have to get a hold of the book now.

I agree completely as someone who read the books around 30 times (no exageration , or not much anyway) as a child...
Dan, I bet you knew that C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were friends.
Indeed I did, and the only alcohol to ever grace my lips was imbibed at the Eagle and Child in Oxford where they met with some others once a week to read and discuss their books and other things, no doubt beyond the comprehension of the rest of us.
Note to Dan: Those others would be a group called the Inklings, am I right? BTW, I believe Ben found a candid shot of you in Louisville with a beer bottle in your hand, am I right? Of course this doesn't prove you were drinking it; you were probably just holding it for one of the young ladies in that same pic, right?
Yeah, holding it for the ladies, that's it...
that was an eerie resemblance wasn't it...
