Prince Caspian

This movie was definitely better than the Wardrobe one but it still kinda sucked.

Gripes:

The biggest problem I had was the heavy duty emo acting by the teen leads. The guy who plays Peter should be shot in the face. Just quit whining you pussy. And the girl that plays his sister is always on the verge of crying; happy or sad she's always just about to cry and she looks like Octo-mom which = gross. I didn't care about them for one second and hoped they would die. Happily I'm told they don't return to the series and only the younger kids do, which is good because they weren't as annoying.

What Worked:

Okay I never actually thought this would happen but the CGI creatures in the film were pretty much photo real and perfect. The Badger especially looked totally real. I think this film sets a high mark for special effects CGI creatures and should have been nominated Oscar time. Aslan's mane looked totally real even though he's creepy and why didn't he help them when they were all getting killed. You suck Aslan. The effects here, which were a big problem in the last movie, were top notch.

Worse than Dungeons and Dragons?

No. Watchable.

Mediocrity Scale:

The effects were good, but this movie is looooong and not all that engaging. Mediocre.

Food:

Coke Zero and mystery flavour Doritos. Jason's wife Dianna came up with the name Firey Four Cheese Fiesta which I think is brilliant and describes the chips exactly. I won't be suprised if that's what they end up being called. We had yellow Cakesters as well. Sugary and gross but good.
