Re:"Narnia" . . .
"But my favorite part was this: Father Christmas (James Cosmo) rides up on his sleigh, gives the kids a long speech about hope or some such thing, and then begins handing out the weapons. It's certainly practical given the situation, but not exactly in the holiday spirit. One gets visions of a naked Mrs. Claus bound and gagged in the North Pole somewhere. Or very skittish reindeer. Let's just say it's an uneasy holiday moment."
