“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” Movie Review
“Prince Caspian” Plot Summary
The Pevensie siblings return to Narnia, where they are enlisted to once again help ward off an evil king and restore the rightful heir to the land’s throne, Prince Caspian.
Even More Fun Than the First – a Winner!
Saw it today
As good as the previous one, and just as moving
Narnia has been taken over for several generations by a foreign human people who have settled there, the Telmarine. Prince Caspian’s father, the king, has been killed and the uncle is the usurper. (Can you say ‘Hamlet’?!). Caspian is on the lam. Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan are summoned to help by the prince’s horn as they are needed. Caspian is found hiding out underground with the Narnians whom the Telmarines thought were extinct
Alliances were formed with talking animals and various creatures, even some dwarfs and minotaurs previously allied to the White Witch–all oppose the foreigners in Narnia. Various exploits and battles ensue
Aslan shows up briefly later in the film. The White Witch even has a brief scene
This film is much less allegorical than the first, with much less sibling discord among the four English youngsters–Peter, Edmund, Lucy and Susan. They are all far more self-assured. especially Edmund
Action sequences are top notch, and it seems they used fewer digital ‘people’ than Lord of the Rings, which was OK: if you saw a cavalryman in the distance it was a real man and horse
Prince Caspian, interestingly, several times was a real screw-up, Peter and Edmund basically saved his throne for him. At least Aslan showed confidence in him
What was oddest was that although this film was made in New Zealand (as usual!), Slovenia, and Poland, all the Telmarines looked and sounded Spanish! ??? They all had Spanish accents, and even Caspian, played by Ben Barnes (born in London) spoke with a Spanish accent. The Italian actor who played Miraz said that the director wanted such an accent from all Telmarines
Best new talking animals: Trufflehunter (badger), and Reepicheep (sword wielding mouse with attitude).
As others have said, ‘The new Narnia can be seen as a parallel to the modern world, in which old beliefs are scoffed at. ‘Who believes in Aslan nowadays?’ asks Trumpkin (dwarf) when he first meets Caspian. Those who ‘hold on’, like the badgers, are praised: this links with Lewis’s views on religious faith’.I can’t say more about this film without giving away spoilers. But it was top notch.

“Shakespeare in Love” Movie Review
“Shakespeare in Love” Plot Summary
A young Shakespeare, out of ideas and short of cash, meets his ideal woman and is inspired to write one of his most famous plays.
This movie is my favorite film of all time.
The first time I went to see ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ I went because the commercials on television were hilarious. So, I went to see it opening day (Christmas), but that isn’t extremely special because I see movies on holidays as a rule. When I left the theatre, I was in love with the film, and the more I thought about the more I loved it. Later that day, I went to see ‘The Prince of Egypt’ and ‘Stepmom.’ Really bad and decent, respectively. I thought of them in comparison to ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ and they got worse and worse and ‘Shakespeare in Love’ got better and better
And why shouldn’t it? Gwyneth Paltrow turns out an amazing performance especially since she is using an accent, speaking in verse, and playing four parts (Viola, Thomas, Romeo, and Juliet). She is also phenomenal in the way she can switch from being horridly funny to evoking tears. Joseph Fiennes no less of an actor than she. He brings such life to someone seen as a god to many and he is so believable as this writing giant. Geoffery Rush is absolutely hilarious as Mr. Henslowe. I must say that he will make you roll in the aisles. Then of course there is Judi Dench, who has a meek 8 and a half minutes of screentime but is so awesome that she won Best Supporting Actress. And last, there is Ben Affleck, who also has a small role as Ned Alleyn (the prima donna of the group), but will make you laugh so hard that you will beg for mercy. I’m really not kidding, he has the best lines
Now, if performances aren’t enough to make you see it, there are the costumes. Or the music. The music has to be one of the best scores I’ve ever heard. Or there’s the fights (yes, there are fights in a Shakespearean film), which are hilarious, tense, and full of suspense
So, if I’ve been able to laugh at every joke all fourteen (yes, you read it correctly, 14) times that I’ve seen ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ I think you’ll enjoy it at least once.
