The Lion , The Witch, The Wardrobe, Me...and a LAZ-E Boy

A week after New Year's day they had finally released to cinemas the movie I've been waiting for most to see this year. (Stupid annual Manila Filmfest moved the release to a later time than which should originally have been early December.)
And now, enter the enchanted wardrobe and into the magical land of Narnia, land of magic, talking critters, mystic evils and wondrous adventures.

Very nicely done. It was (in my opinion), in fact, dear C.S. Lewis' book come to life. (add a little wit and humor) Narnia was big in my childhood days. (For me and my family at least) So to see a tastefully done movie of one of my all time favorite books is definitely the shit for me. Definitely worth waiting for the original DVD to come along.

And of course it's only fitting that I see this movie with family, as family is, of course, what it's all about. And so I did. And we did. And we (Helen and I) did overdo it. There couldn't have been a better excuse than Narnia to try out this LAZ-E Boy theater we've been hearing about. And so, with a lot of patience, a little creativity, some acting and available credit we ended up buying the whole theater out. (minus 2 seats.) We sold the extra tickets to friends at cost (Business minded we are not) and sat back relaxed and enjoyed the movie. (The pop corn and drinks are free and free flowing.) For future movie greats, this is where we're watching. Most definitely.
