Roger Ebert's review of the Narnia film has some delicious turns of phrase. I laughed out loud at least twice. Anyway, he really liked it, and although I don't always agree with Ebert, I suspect I'll enjoy the film too.

It's pretty much awesome. And stunningly beautiful.

But it's remarkable, isn't it, that the Brits have produced Narnia, the Ring, Hogwarts, Gormenghast, James Bond, Alice and Pooh, and what have we produced for them in return?

Superman, Batman (and their offspring, i.e. "The Incredibles"), Nancy Drew and Jazz... oh and that Constitutional republic thinggy which was so helpful in WW1 &2... :-)

And don't forget the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys! [smirk]

"It is the witch who has kept Narnia in frigid cold for a century, no doubt because she is descended from Aberdeen landladies."
