For Narniaaa / Spartaaa!!
Jul. 13th, 2008 01:06 amI am officially terrapin-sitting for the next few weeks. The little dears are settling into their tank and getting spoilt by the mother who thinks they're looking traumatised after the long trip in the car. I think they're looking slightly fat, but each to their own :)
Today we went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - it quickly veered widely from the book for the majority of the film but was otherwise a fun easy-on-the-brain yarn. It's a long film (over 2hrs) and it was impressive that considering the cinema was packed to the gills with young 'uns, the entire audience remained silent and gripped throughout. One thing I do like about these recent Narnian adaptations is that the writers pick up on things that are normally brushed over and bring the full impact home. In the last film, I liked how they genuinely got across the horror of seeing your brother hurt. ( Cut for SPOILERS for Prince Caspian... )
My other achievement of the day was watching the latest ep of Gladiators, the one where they get 'celebrities' to come on and compete for charity. Yes I've never heard of any of these guys before, but it was still fun watching them getting trounced (and in some cases tickled) by the gladiators. ( Cut for results SPOILERS... )
