I love Lucy.  I love Aslan.  Georgie Henley is perfectly cast as Lucy, the archetypal Christian in CS Lewis' classic series Chronicles of Narnia.  Lucy's innocence, faith, and purity comes through so clearly in Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, and now in this second installment of the Narnia series.   Lewis is such a masterful writer, portraying with such clarity, but sublimnity what a pure hearted Christian should look like.  The choice of a lion, named Aslan to mirror Christ is also masterful.  The first time I read the series, I was completely captivated by Aslan; my imagination fired by Lewis' depiction of Aslan's strength and tenderness.  Scenes of Lucy tucked in the mane of Aslan have always stuck with me.  Seeing the adaption on big screen has been a real treat.   I was also mesmerized by the closing song ("The Call"), sung by Regina Spektor.  Being in a big surround sound theater really brought out the unique vocal quality of Ms. Spektor.  I've included the closing songs here.  Oh, btw, great special effects.  Final climatic scenes were wonderful.
