Long bloody title, but a great film no doubt. I had seen <em>'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'</em> before but hadn't watched it for years and years, I remembered the vast majority though - it's a memorable film after all. There's a great battle scene in there, some fun characters and strong effects. It's a tad too long, but not by much. It has a nice charm to it also, as they set…

Rewatching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe reminded me why it’s such a timeless movie. It still gets me every time, especially the lullaby scene with Mr. Tumnus, played beautifully by James McAvoy, who is one of my favorite actors. Liam Neeson’s voice as Aslan is inspiring and adds so much gravitas to the character. But for me, the standout is Tilda Swinton as the White Witch. Her perf…

The feeling of discovering a secret universe where winter seems eternal awakens that sense of pure wonder we usually lose in the daily grind. Revisiting this story years later made me realize that magic doesn't age when it's treated with the respect it deserves. And this adaptation manages to bring back exactly those butterflies in my stomach from when I used to believe that behind any old piece of furniture in the h…
