The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian ..hmm much awaited movie ...Personally I was missing the white witch(Tilda Swinton). As she fitted wonderfully in her role of white witch in the first movie so does Ben Barnes fits perfectly in his role of Prince Caspian.

In words of ASLAN, "Things never happen the same way twice." Same we can presume for the movie as well. In short the magic of wardrobe is missing in this second sequel of Narnia. However the battles scenes in the end are amazing.There is so much of fight yet no blood..this is what makes the scenes all the more entertaining. Laughs are bound to be there with amusing presence of Peter Dinklage as cranky dwarf Trumpkin and Eddie Izzard as the voice of swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep...so in all a good bet to watch

Official trailor:



The enchanting characters of C.S Lewis' timeless fantasy come to life again in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, in which the Pevensie siblings—-Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—-are magically transported from World War II era England to Narnia through a tube station near London’s Trafalgar Square, embarking on a perilous new adventure and an even greater test of their faith and courage.

One year after the incredible events of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” the former Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed and Narnia had greatly changed from the Narnia they knew Their castle is all in ruins and during their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has faded into legend. The Telmarines, a tribe of humans, have conquered and pushed all the Narnian creatures into hiding in the forest. Many of the animals have gone wild, and the trees no longer dance or move at all. The mighty lion Aslan has not been seen in a thousand years. Their stories of old Narnia, and Aslan are considered to be fairy tales.

The four children have been summoned back to Narnia by Caspian, the legitimate heir to the Telmarine throne, to combat his evil uncle Miraz. With the help of a crusty, valiant dwarf, Trumpkin, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep(cutest of all characters), and a mistrustful Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, they lead the Narnians on a remarkable journey to restore magic and glory to the land.

Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree



Lyrics:
I'm sitting here in the boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see

Fool's Garden - Probably



Lyrics:

Dan is drinking coffee

Mary's drinking tea
Betty's having breakfast
in the plastic surgery
Some say she's a beauty
Some may say she's mad
But she doesn't care what the people say
and dyes her red hair black

You don't know,
what they will say
You probably've to do it your own way
You don't know,
what they will see
Absolutely nothing – probably

Tom is vegetarian
A little fool they say
His father wants to change his mind
He's trying every day

Anne is loving woman
Fred is loving man
And everybody shakes their head
'Cause no one understands

You don't know...

In the corner plays a gypsy girl
With Indians and with Jews
Penny sings along with them
though she wears different shoes

You don't know...

You don't know,
what they will do
No one ever knows,
you don't know too
You don't know,
what they will say
You probably don't need another way

Interesting story - What Women Want??

Forwarded message I received ... found interesting so am posting...a good read has a moral too(hmmm) with tons of smiles................

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, If after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question was: What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death,
He accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: The princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, For only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous through out the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, The most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, And Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, Smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden, But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.

Arthur's question thus: "What a woman really wants?"

She said, "Is to be in charge of her own life."

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth. And that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.

The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The
astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, She would henceforth be her horrible and deformed self only half the time. And the beautiful maiden the other half. "Which would you prefer? She asked him. "Beautiful during the day .... or at night?" Lancelot pondered the predicament.

During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, But at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch! Or, Would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day? But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments with?

(If you are a man reading this...) What would YOUR choice be?

(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?

What Lancelot chose, is given below:

BUT... make YOUR choice before you scroll down below... OKAY?

Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question, he said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time. Because, he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now... what is the moral to this story?

The moral is...
1) There is witch in every woman no matter how beautiful she is!
2) If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.

So, always remember:
IT'S EITHER "HER WAY" OR IT'S "NO WAY" !!!


Smiles + moral + fun all in the end as promised in the beginning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
