LOVED IT!!!!!
Darker and more complex than LWW, Prince Caspian will likely appeal to a wider audience range. Relative newcomer Ben Barnes gives a wonderful performance as the orphaned and betrayed Prince. William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley reprise their roles as the Pevensie siblings. The acting is solid and I personally enjoyed that the script writers made Susan's character stronger than I remember her being in the book. While parts of the film diverge from action in the novel, I feel that the movie remained true to the spirit of the novel.
Definitely recommend - a must see adventure!

Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indi + Cate Blanchett + Fast Action + Humor = A Satisfying Conclusion to the IJ Series
In the newest IJ film, Dr. Jones and his cohorts head to South America searching for the El Dorado and a crystal skull of mythical power. Cate Blanchett shines as the evil Dr. Spalko, while Harrison Ford and Karen Allen wonderfully reprise roles that made them famous. Shia LaBeof's character, Jones's son, could easily have become the annoying new sidekick, but instead provides entertainment and a touch of youth.
The film starts at a fast pace and roars onward until the unbelievable but very "jonesian" ending. Recommended for fans of the IJ series and those who enjoy a well-constructed action film.
