With the amount of things I saw this past week there were bound to be some great things mixed in. Making it for a difficult pick of the week this week. But after some serious consideration I have determined that this weeks pick of the week is the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005). Let's start right off with saying the this movie looks truly amazing. The special effects are top notch. The story is fantastic and a rarity with book adaptations I felt that the movie was better than the book. Although I am glad that I read The Magician's Nephew (the first book of the series) because there are a bunch of things that are shown in the movie such as the lamp post that would not really make sense without having read it first. It is not necessary to have read it first but it does help explain things. Over all I am really excited to see what they do with the rest of the series and highly recommend everyone to see this.
