October Feature at Hollywood Jesus

This month we're finally getting around to talking about the movie, after having spent the last seven months taking a detailed look at the seven books that comprise The Chronicles of Narnia.

The essay is titled, "Andrew Adamson's Narnia; or, Why I Hope Disney’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is NOT Exactly Like the Book." Here's a snippet...

"There is another criterion that tends to get lost amidst the utilitarian evangelical rumble and the marketing scramble to mollify the religious community: as Time also observes, Adamson’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe must first be a good film. If it is not that, it will be useless both as art and as fodder for 'outreach.' If audiences don’t enjoy the film, they won’t much care about its message. And at the risk of being called a heretic, I’ll assert that the film will only be good if it is uniquely Adamson’s."
