Together Again for Haiti

A song by Evanescence that was supposed to be for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has become published recently. To own a copy of the song, please use the UN source link. For a $5 donation, you will be able to download Together Again.

The fan derived lyrics are as follows:

Never thought that I'd be leaving you today
So alone and wondering why I feel this way
So wide the world
Can love remember how to get me home to you
Someday

We'll be together again
All just a dream in the end
We'll be together again

So many fears were swimming around and around in my mind
Who would have dreamed the secrets we would find

I've found a world where love and dreams and darkness all collide
Maybe this time we can leave our broken world behind

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Review

Staff Writer: DL Mullan

A Christmas children's tale about becoming a part of an adventure. During World War II, four siblings are sent into the English countryside for safety. When they arrived to the dull exploits of an uncle's home, the children discover a wardrobe full of the fantastic.

On the other side, the Pevensie children soon learn that their newfound world: Narnia, is in trouble. The White Witch has taken over Narnia, ousted the rightful ruler: Aslan, and wants to kill them to stop the prophecy.

Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie follow their own path to Aslan. Once together, the four wage war against the White Witch. In the end victorious, kings and queens of Narnia take their place.

This movie, though for kids, satisfied this adult. Full of wonder, action, and excitement, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe allowed the audience to feel the happiness, sorrow, and danger these children faced while in another land.

The musical score was understated, but I would like to have heard more instead of less in action sequences. Even though children themselves, the principles were dynamic and rich. CGI blended in well with the live action.

DVD

With the four disc edition, one can find a multitude of extras. This special edition is sure to please. As a fan, I wish that additional minutes (more then 5 to 10) were added so I may immerse myself in whichever land I choose to put in my DVD player.

Rowling Copyright vs. Fan Lexicon

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

J.K. Rowling wins suit over encyclopedia fan. As she has admitted in the past, she went to the fan’s site and researched terms, characters, and the like for her books. Then she told a judge that the Lexicon was lifted from her prose.

Instead of working with this fan, Ms. Rowling chose to sue. She could have co-creator rights over the encyclopedia, but didn’t want to share. This situation could have been win-win.

When entertainment becomes apart of the popular vernacular, are we too to pay homage every time to Ms. Rowling? For this muggle, I won’t be buying her rendition of a Harry Potter encyclopedia because she will probably “lift” the fan’s original prose for her version.

Warlock

Staff Writer: DL Mullan

4 1/2 out of 5 Shovels
In 1691, the town is set to condemn a warlock. Satan has other plans. The warlock is swept away into another time. Close behind, the Witch Hunter, Giles Redferne ends up in Los Angeles three hundred years later.

Caught in the middle of the battle is Kassandra (with a “K”). The Warlock turns her world upside down. Redferne is not a better influence.

As Kassandra helps Redferne stop the Warlock from revoking all of creation, a mutual respect and unrequited affection is shared between them.

This movie is humorous, creepy, and suspenseful. Julian Sands does an outstanding job as the Warlock. Lori Singer and Richard E. Grant have chemistry and charisma.

The movie runs 103 minutes and is Rated R. Cast and crew information is on the DVD but no extras except for the trailer.

Warlock is a cult classic that deserves its acclaim.
