What to do when you're feeling blue

Might I suggest Prince Caspian and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption"?

Accompanied by cinnamon toast and cocoa.

I liked Prince Caspian better than the first installment. The battle scene was hardcore, and when I think about the fact that every fantasy battle has Lord of the Rings to measure up to, I realize any scene where I'm feeling impressed has done its job.

I wish the kids in the movie had bigger reactions. It's not that they look bored; they just don't look bowled over.

The chemistry between Caspian and Susan was cute...My sympathy for Susan has increased ever since I read Gaiman's "The Trouble with Susan" and I feel bad that her interest in nylons, lipsticks, and (according to the movie) boys is the reason she's cut off from Narnia.

That female sexuality, she's a creature to be feared.
