Everything including the kitchen sink... but with special attention paid to board games, Jesus Christ, my family, being a "professional" (and I use that word loosely) Christian, and the random firing of the 10% of the synapses I'm currently using.

The Lion & The Monkey
Short Version:
Monkey beats Lion.
Longer Version:
Monkey is better than it's source material.
Lion is good, but NOT better than it's source material.
Final Thoughts:
I'm glad more people will be aware of Narnia, but the movie (Lion, Witch & The Wardrobe) was good but not great. (For an excellent analysis/argument about the film, check out this discussion.)
OTOH, though a bit long, Kong is substantially better than the 1933 movie it is based upon... and makes the 1976 version look like a bad TV movie.

How could Narnia be better than its source material? But all of the aside, what did you, personally, not like about it? I thought it was fantastic.

hmmmm...everyone else liked Monkey better than me.
I hope to like Lion, but can't imagine it being better than source material. I'll find out later this week...
