USA (2010)
Starring: Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley
Based on a series of books I haven't read since I was about five, I found this installment of C. S. Lewis's books to be what I expected. The details of the story I had long forgotten so most of the movie was not as familiar as you might expect of someone who had read the book. It seems like there are some occurrences that weren't in the book and of course many that were in the book that weren't in the movie. Still, all in all, I was pleasantly surprised by what I watched. If I was my little brother's age I would have loved this movie, I am sure.
While the classics aren't represented in their entirety I am enjoying the surge of movies written with a classic literature or historic background that have been coming out in the past 10 years. This one especially so. For everyone who can remember being a kid and reading this book by flashlight or candlelight long after you should have been asleep I thoroughly recommend allowing this movie to take you back to the times when magical things were possible in your mind.
