Narnia

Saw "Chronicles of Narnia" last night. Darn good rendering of the books to film, but I have to agree with almost everything Mark Morford said about it. Especially the bit about how annoying a couple of the kids are. Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan is inspired. As with any voice characterization of God, the director probably considered James Earl Jones for half a second before remembering he's the voice of the devil figure in that other series of films with ham-fisted good/evil symbolism that every kid in the world has seen. Another bit of voice casting I loved was Dawn French as Mrs Beaver. ..
