I just returned from being on the radio.

B-.

I’ve realized that being articulate while under the pressure of time is very challenging for me. He also asked a few questions that I drew blanks on, which was particularly frustrating. But I opened with a good line, so perhaps that will go a ways toward redemption.

Mere-O friend Joshua Claybourn of IntheAgora [would have been surprised ](http://www.intheagora.com/archives/2005/12/movie%5Freview%5Fth.html?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)at my language regarding Narnia. [As I mentioned](http://mere-orthodoxy.blogspot.com/2005/12/movie-review-narnia.html?ref=mereorthodoxy.com), the film isn’t perfect, but I chose not to mention those parts I thought weak because on the whole, I thoroughly enjoyed it. In particular, Aslan’s charachter was underdeveloped, making the crucifiction scene less impacting. Additionally, I thought the White Witch especially bad.

Though not as effective as it could have been, the movie was not a disappointment. There wasn’t, I thought, a huge gap between the promised product and the actual delivery, largely due to Lewis’s careful and powerful storyline and enjoyable performances by the Beavers and the Pevensies.
