What Delightful Fun

When was the last time that the audience applauded at the end of a novie you attended? We did for this one because it's just a joy!
The flipping back and forth between plotlines of Julie and Julia keeps the movie moving forward without dragging. Julia is a legend and this is the story of the book that launched her culinary career- richly, warmly and humorously told. Julie makes her cooking through the book a central goal to move out of the rut her career had become. The contrrast in personalities is remarkable and each accomplishes what she had striven for. A beautiful movie; a welcome change fom the video games so many productions have settled for.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Less than hoped for

Like the first installment in the Narnia series, the cinematography is gorgeous with great interiors and sweeping exterior vistas that contribute to the tone and action in the story.
Unlike it's predecessor, Prince Caspian bears little resemblence to the wonderful C.S. Lewis book and that is a huge loss. The story is not nearly as exciting in the film and we found ourselves caring less for the same characters and less involved in their adventure this time. When we got home we immediately re-read the book and wish they had done better.
But we are glad we saw it, might see it again, and recommend it to all. Give your children or grand children a real treat and read the story to them after seeing the movie, or let them read it on their own. They will be glad they did.
