Prince Caspian

On Saturday I watched Prince Caspian on netflix watch instantly.  I'm a big fan of the watch instantly section of netflix.  It's good for people like me who are kind of impulsive and don't have a lot of patience.  I watched Swing Vote because it was there.  And it has Nathan Lane in it.  I will see anything Nathan Lane is in.  Even if it's terrible.  Case in point.  Swing Vote had moments, I remember chuckling, but I don't remember why.

The watch instantly section is also bad for people like me who have the attention span of a goldfish.  I've seen most of The Big Sleep, half of Blade Runner and the first fifteen minutes of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.  They're all good movies, and I intend to finish them, I just keep getting distracted.

In light of all that, I'm kind of surprised I made it through Prince Caspian.  No Nathan Lane, not really a very thought provoking film.  But it wasn't too bad.  I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.  The whole thing would have been greatly improved if Nathan Lane had been in the cast, but the several seconds of Tilda Swinton mostly made up for it.  I liked Liam Neesen as Aslan, and Eddie Izzard as Reepicheep the mouse.  Reepicheep was my favorite character when I read the books.
