watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Starring: Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell
Director: Andrew Adamson
Year of Release: 2008
 Rated 4 cups

Yawn. Boring. Honestly the best thing about the first Narnia movie was Tilda Swinton as the Witch. She has a cameo in this movie but it’s all too brief. The 4 british kids are lackluster, Prince Caspian is rather cliche, and the whole Narnia battle feels a bit warmed over from The Lord Of The Rings. And none of it is very compelling. Then throw on top of that the whole “Aslan saves the day” at the last minute and it just feels really hacked together and just too easy. It isn’t clear WHY Aslan has been gone for so long or why he all-of-a-sudden comes back to fix everything. Maybe it’s more clear in the book, but the movie sacrifices details for action sequences. And not very exciting ones either.
