Prince Caspian: The Chronicles of Narnia

PG, 147 min

Overall Grade: B-
Series: The Chronicles of Narnia

Somewhat entertaining, but only true to the book in about the first 1/3 of the film. After that they just slap in stuff to fill out the movie. And the romantic stuff between Susan & Prince Caspian? Gag me - that is SO far from what the book is about!

Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War


by various authors, edited by Keith R.A. DeCandido, 360 pgs, paperback
Overall Grade: C+

Really, I only got this to complete my collection of all things 'Star Trek: New Frontier'. In that respect, this was neat because it explained something that much confused me in the course of the latest novels (i.e. the whole Soleta debacle). Otherwise I didn't care much for this either way.

Iron Man

PG-13, 126 min
Official Website
IMDB page
Overall Grade: A+

This film gets a solid A+ from me because it is a thoroughly entertaining summer action movie. I didn't know anything about the superhero beforehand, so I can't judge if this stays true to canon or not. But it was a funny movie to watch.
