The Eagle and Child: Narnia under assault

Russell Smith writes a very good Christian response to Polly Toynbee's criticism of the new Narnia movie. I haven't seen the movie, and I am, I must say, skeptical of it as I don't see the book translating well to film, especially if it gets the Lord of the Rings treatment. (I still want to see it, though.) But Smith's comments on the theology and imagery of the story is right on the money.
