It was off to the theaters again this weekend for Mitch, as he took in the second installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia" series for us, reviewing the film for us today here at The Cleveland Fan.  Hailed as "Lord of the Rings Lite" by many moviegoers, Mitch enjoyed this film, calling it a classic tale of good vs. evil, and a film that displays excellent special effects and cinematography.  Mitch's next project for us?  A biggie.  The new Indiana Jones film.  He'll be there on opening night (Thursday) and we'll run his review shortly after.
