I have to admit that so far in my life, the Narnia books have completely passed me by. I did go and see the last film, Prince Caspian, but The Lion The Witch and The Waredrobe also missed me.
So it was with enthusiasm that I went to see this third installment.
For a childrens film, adapted from a childrens book, it does quite well. I'm sure if I was 10 watching these films, I would be excited and really into it. But it so happens that I'm not 10, so I wasn't that into it.
It made a refreshing change from my usual choice of film though. I'm more of a Harry Potter person myself.

Somewhere
This film comes from the same writer/director that bought us Lost In Translation, and from watching the film, it's obvious.
Not in a sense that the story is similar, because thay are quite different, but in the style they are filmed. My only question is Who financed these films?
The first one I can understand, no-one would know what to expect. What we got was a film where nothing happens. Literally. How is that even possible. I can nearly even understand why that might possible have a chance of winning any awards (which it did).
But did anyone really think that they would want to sit through another 90mins of it.
From reading the synopsis, I thought that this film had so much potential. A hollywood film actor re-assesses his life when his 11year old daughter make a suprise visit. but even the first scene bored me. several minutes of watching a car do laps of a very small track in the middle of nowhere.
Can you tell I wouldn't recommend this film.
