So anyone seen a bad movie lately?

[Laemkral]

The Prince Caspian chapter of the narnia movies was blah. It felt even more preachy, with even more thinly veiled Christianity parallels. Yeah, we get it, "only thru Him can you ever do stuff" and faith and things. At least things were a bit darker.

Otherwise, glad I waited until it was only $3 to rent on iTunes.

"Neighbors" with John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd was a horrible movie, and it only cost me 99 cents to watch. No regrets.

I love that movie.

I know C.S. Lewis was a die-hard Christian, and the Narnia movies are allegorical towards Christianity. I can put up with it to an extent when its well woven in, but it was just smacking me in the face and I really couldn't enjoy it as much as I could have.

Movie was fine, but it wasn't fantastic.

I saw The Last Legion recently. Plot was... meh. But the setting of having Odacer oust the Roman imperial family is inspiring me...

Lewis wasn't merely a die-hard Christian. He was a theologian and Christian author. The Narnia stories aren't just allegorical towards Christianity, they are Christian allegories. Complaining about the Christian themes addressed in Narnia is like going to Red Lobster, and complaining that there's too much shellfish on the menu.

I suggest you avoid Dawn Treader when it comes out. That book almost made me believe in God again.

I loved reading the Narnia books as a kid so I decided to reread them as the movies came out. I still loooooooooove the books, but I haaaaaaaaaaate the movies. I think they're sooooo cheesey and really dumbed down. Lewis meant for there to be an intense Christian allegory in the books. Did you know that he and J.R.R. Tolkien were really good friends and Tolkien used to criticize him for how obvious his allusions were? Just an interesting little fact.

Bad movie I've seen recently: Sleepless in Seatle (and most other chick flicks)

Thanks for the advice. For the record, I do believe in God. I just don't believe in THAT God.

that said, I'm not that persuation of christianity and overly christian-centric works usually annoy me to pieces...but for some reason, I do like Narnia. Dawn Treader was actually my favorite book of the lot, too, since it reads like a fun romp of an adventure story.

Okay, actually the last book DID annoy the hell out of me. But it went to crazytown and never came back.

The local Fox affiliate's HD-2 channel plays the finest B and C movies out there. You know, the movies you can only watch when you're drunk. These are movies that do have name-brand stars in them, but they're from the start of their careers and ones that said stars would probably like to forget.

Your statement has some contradictions.

Also Magic Christian was awful.

The Nightmare on Elm Street's remake. While the original might not have been the greatest horror movie of all times, it was entertaining and Freddy became one of modern times' most beloved monsters. The remake is an insipid "jump scare" movie, where the scares were quite predictable, and they ruined Freddy's backstory. So yeah, if you haven't seen it, keep it that way. Worst movie of the year, if you ask me.

Fixed for truth.
