I’ve posted a review of Walden Media’s very excellent film Bridge to Terabithia. It’s in theatres today, and I cannot say enough about it. I saw it last Saturday morning, and right after I went and bought the book and the movie companion. I was in awe of the film as it carried me away on an adventure unlike any that I’ve seen in a long time. It was, and is, a film about me, and my creative imagination. It made me want to be a kid again, and want to create new worlds and explore new places in my own imagination that I’ve not thought about in years.
For a film to access the creative part of your mind and make you excited to create your own stories, it’s a very special thing, and it doesn’t come around very often. I very highly recommend the movie for anyone. You can read more in part one of my review at WaldenFans.com. I’m going to be writing part two after I see the film again. I’ll edit this post and add a link when that part is complete.
This is one film for the DVD collection that is well worth having on your shelf, and I hope that it gets the special edition treatment that it deserves.
