The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe – A Movie Review
I loved this story as a child-adored it, in fact. My fourth grade teacher read us the complete Chronicles of Narnia series over the school year, and I contribute this, along with comic books and my parents reading to me consistently as a wee lad, to my love of reading and writing as an adult. …

That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Walk the…
