Prince Caspian at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood

This was so much fun to do--thank you Dan for this wonderful Mother's Day gift! It was really neat watching the movie here because the audience was so energetic. Lots of cheers and stuff throughout the movie. This one seemed very different from the first so I can't even compare the two. Prince Caspian definitely had more laughs. I think it's challenging for the filmmakers to get the audience to swallow this world with talking animals and moving trees, but I think they did a pretty good job of it, although I thought the centaurs were a bit creepy. You have so much more control about these things when you're reading. Right now I'm reading a fantasy book with elves and dwarves in it , but when I picture it in my head, they all just look like regular people. Is that cheating? Anyways, with a movie, you can't get away with that. The guy who played the Dwarf Trumpkin was excellent, and the girl who plays Lucy reminded me so much of Amy that I loved her parts. I did not fall asleep, which I was worried about because it started so late at night, but I think I had about 3 diet pepsis that day, so I made it through! All in all, it was a great return to the magic of my childhood.
