The Chronicles Of Narnia : Voyage of the Dawn Treader

I'm a dork. I know. But all growing up my favorite book series was always the "Chronicles of Narnia." I loved those books.

I have seen the first two movies. And thought they were great. Really kept to the story of the books. This movie is produced by FOX instead of Disney as the previous ones have been. So it will be interesting to see the difference. But I'm excited.

He's a demon on wheels.

I saw Speed Racer this weekend, and all I can say is AMAZING. Now I know it is doing horrible at the box office, but read pretty much any review of the movie and it is good. Where as Indiana Jones is roaring. Despite the fact everybody (Brandon included) has hated it.

Speed Racer is good on three levels. The first is the acting. It is very well done and there is great chemistry among the actors. Emile Hirsch did a great job jumping from Into The Wild to this movie.

The second is the graphics. Holy cow are the colors awesome. Although I have never been on acid, many reviews say that is what it would be like. Trippy.

And third, the storyline is very well done. It's not just about some kid who drives fast. It really is a great story about corporate greed and racing.

I loved the movie, and would definitely see it again. Unlike Indiana Jones, which I hear will make you never want to see another movie again.

I also saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (cause I really do not have a life) this weekend. (Actually, it was 90 degrees with about 80 percent humidity. Not fun. Theaters equal free Air Conditioning)

The Narnia books are my favorite series of all time, so I set the movies to a pretty high grading system. The first movie was great and followed the book to the letter. The second one was an even better movie.

As a book, Prince Caspian was good, but would have made a horrible movie. Because half the book is the children wandering around trying to find the Prince. Lame. The movie however made new parts that fit the story very well.

The movie is a lot darker, with much better battle scenes. If it wouldn't have been for editing this film could have easily moved to an "R" rating with the fight scenes. But they were great!

In the end, both of these films were great.

Go Speed Go!
