C.S. Lewis
Alice and I saw "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" movie in the Wisconsin Dells just before New Years. It was originally a fantasy novel for children written by C.S. Lewis and published in 1952 as the third book in the "Chronicles of Narnia." We previously saw "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" but did not see the second movie in the series. Frankly, I had trouble following the movie, especially the first half. I simply struggle with C.S. Lewis and I'm not sure why. The second half of the movie was better. It was almost as if I finally understood the characters. I recommend the movie but I confess that it was not my favorite movie of the year. Alice loved it.

Matt and I have not seen this movie and do not feel we want to because it does not stick true to the books. The books are quite good; with Christian ideas throughout, sometimes subtle and sometimes striking. I listened to the lecture series you sent me about C.S. Lewis and his life and works are quite interesting. The gentleman who lectures, however, sings his praises like he is a prophet or a saint!
