Hope 08

I watched this film, Hope Hero by Jude Simpson, and I found it very moving. Lets put it this way, I needed a couple of tissues before it was through.

I think it’s the way it reminds me that being a Christian isn’t comfortable - neither is it for comfortable people. But it’s the hope it conveys for those who have no hope - if I’ll just get up and do something useful.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian | Geekdad from Wired.com
Prince Caspian Movie PosterPrince Caspian, like the first Chronicles of Narnia, is visually stunning — from the locations where the movie was filmed, to the sets, to the costuming.  The actors and actresses, musical scores, and Aslans voice all contribute to the continuity.  The four Pevensie children have been back in London a year in the storyline, and while the younger two children have matured, you get the sense you’ve just left them at the end of the last movie.

 

The next film in the Chronicles of Narnia series is on it’s way to the UK. It arrives here next month. This guy liked it!

The Disney Site is a bit of fun too - I love the London Underground screen

Review: The Other Boleyn Girl

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I was very disappointed with this film. Had I been on my own I would have left the cinema part way through I was so disengaged.
No effort was made to create the characters - I felt nothing for any of them. As the film progressed I didn’t care what happened to any of them. Bad things happened to them all - there was no redemption.
The story is about how Ann Boleyn became the second of Henry VIII’s wives. I know it was a bleak era in England’s history - but in this film it was boring too.
Thankfully it was a cheap seats night - so it only cost me £3.50 - and it was cold too.
Perfectly miss-able.
