Today I finally got my hands on a copy of The Bridge to Terabithia (TBtT), which I’d been dying to see for months (along with Pan’s Labyrinth), and before I even sat down to watch it I had my head filled with all sorts of preconceptions that it could be a complete and utter waste of time (think Lord of the Rings, which regardless of how nerdy you think are, is a pile of feces) and I was really praying that it would live up to some of my better expectations.

To my complete delight, TBtT is one of those films that really makes you think about things in your life (think Click or Stranger than Fiction, both excellent films), and the sort of changes you need to make....
