Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian Movie Review: Things Never Happen The Same Way Twice Dear One

Movie Review

In the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the Pevensie children travel back to Narnia where they must try and defeat King Miraz, in order for Prince Caspian to become the rightful ruler again.

What a disappointment! Any of the magic and wonder that I felt in the first movie surely was not present in Prince Caspian at all. There were some beautiful scenic shots of Narnia, but the story felt all over the place. 

The movie itself was completely lacking any excitement except for a few moments with the swirling water creature. I wish that Aslan (the Great lion) had more of a role in this film since maybe that would have added a bit more interest. Any of the battle scenes were so long-winded that it felt like the movie was never going to end. 

In the hope of being whisked away into a world of fantasy, in this case, I would have gladly chosen reality instead.

Kelley Armstrong Book Review: Werewolves don't have the luxury of sentimentality

My book review on Men of the OtherWorld by Kelley Armstrong:

As young, curious and naive Clayton begins his transformation into a werewolf, he is befriended by Jeremy, another one of his kind, who is anything but your typical Alpha Male. As their bond deepens, Jeremy's aggressive and undermining father enters the picture to make life unbearable. Loyalty remains strong in the Pack but when Jeremy is faced with an important decision, the agonizing pain of trying to integrate Clayton into human society while teaching him the ways of raw survival, now seems all too much to handle.

Kelley Armstrong is a powerful author with a niche for writing empowering stories about mystical women. In Men of the OtherWorld, Kelley continues to show her brilliance of story-telling and takes a different path this time, focusing on the strength and complexity of werewolves; Clayton, Jeremy and Malcolm, all males with extraordinary gifts.

Although I had initially thought that this book would have four completely separate stories, they were woven in perfectly to create a thought-provoking and emotional journey through words.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys tales that extend one's mind into other spiritual worlds, yet can be thrown back into the harsh realms of reality, without a moment's notice.
