narnia

finally, i was able to watch the chronicles of narnia today! it was a post-celebration (which has been put off for weeks now) of jescia's birthday last december 31. we went to eastwood. i went off to starbucks and satisfied my craving for a mocha frappucino and a Starbucks ham and cheese croissant. after i drank it though, my head hurt a bit, i think because the coffee was really, really,cold.
i loved narnia! as in. to bits. it was so good. better than harry potter. Andrew Adamson will probably be better than Alfonso Cuaron and Mike Newell put together. really. people even clapped at the end of film. and during the last part, when we thought it was all over and there was a pahabol pa pala, everyone who was going out of the cinema literally went back and looked to see what was happening. it was that good.
when i watch these movies based on books, i have these certain expectations. and narnia met them all. the flow of the story was really good, so those who weren't able to read the books were able to understand the story, wherein in harry potter, ang gulo, when one thing happens, hindi naman connected dun sa last scene. you have to be able to have read the book para lang maintindihan ang nangyari. i read this entry from TIME..

Book vs. Movie
I don't see how Richard Corliss (a movie reviewer, i think) could pick the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire over the book. While i really like the movie-it was fast and action-packed-none of the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's books, that one included, have been able to fully capture the essence of Harry. They cannot put us inside Harry's head the way Rowling deftly does.

-Marianne L. Adams

i absolutely agree with her. a good director should be able to do that. the movie was like the book put to life. the effects, the actors, everything was great. lucy was so cute, with the lisping and the way she said, "I don't know!" when mr tumnus asked her why people shook hands. jadis was really cool. the hair(!!!), the clothes, the acting. she came out the way I imagined her as I was reading Magician's Nephew and TLTW&TW.
overall, the movie was really great. i couldn't find anything to criticize. the movie was able to bring Narnia and its creatures to life.

love love love narnia!
