Clearly I am trying to justify to complete strangers why I rented Bewtiched. How sad.

Do it. Do it now. I hate to admit it but Bewitched wasn't too terrible. Nicole Kidman is a very gifted actress. She was amazing in Hours. Will Ferrel had some good lines. I only rented it because Sue had rented The Anchor Man for Sophie (if you knew Sue's tame taste for kids movies, you would be as shocked as I was). Shed never saw it herself, but I told her it was a little over the top for a 12 year old and her friends. To prove it to her I made her watch it with me but not before I ran out and rented Bewitched to make a Ferrell overload night (both movies are only 90 minutes long).

Here's my two-cents, for what it's worth. There seems to be no shortage of Reformed bloggers who anchor their opinions on the theological problems with Narnia. The main problem I have with some of these examinations is the expectation that Narnia is an allegory. Lewis actually stated to the contrary, that it is not an allegory, but something like an analogy. It is a children's story, not a systematic theology. I wonder, as Reformed Christians who pride ourselves on our precise theology, if we often lose our abilities to enjoy a story like a child. BTW, I posted my "obligatory Narnia post" the day after I saw it as well.... http://digitalbrandon.blogspot.com/2005/12/riding-on-back-of-aslan.html Thanks for the link Mark.

Speaking of the Matrix crashing, Karyn and I finally saw the last two movies of the Matrix trilogy last night. Matrix II was OK (same criticisms as everyone else: yes, we were blown away by the cool fighting in M1, but nothing new here!). At least II raised some interesting questions. But then III? I may drive up to Lansdale and borrow Pete's gun and put the five bullet rating through my own head.

I just had the unfortunate experience of watching the Fantastic 4. That is two hours of my life that I will never get back! Maybe some Sam Adams could fix that.

Choose the wrong kind of beer and it could still be negative. I'd much rather get 5 Sam Adams than 5 Miceleob. That really just depends on what kind of beer you’re talking about.
