The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is an upcoming theatrical 3D fantasy-adventure film based on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third published novel in C.S. Lewis's epic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia. It is the third in The Chronicles of Narnia film series from Walden Media. It will be distributed by 20th Century Fox, the first in the series not to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.

The two younger Pevensies, Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley), are staying with their cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter). They find themselves drawn into a painting of an old ship, where they join the new King of Narnia, King Caspian (Ben Barnes).

The film will have a wide theatrical release in traditional 2D, and a limited theatrical release in Digital 3D in the United States and United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland on December 10, 2010.

Plot summary

The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne many years earlier. His Telmarine ancestors had never built ships as they had always feared the sea.

The journey takes Edmund Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie, their cousin Eustace Scrubb and King Caspian to the Eastern Islands, beyond the Silver Sea. Their mission – on which rests the fate of Narnia itself – takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands, a river that turns whatever it touches to gold, confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies. They will meet Lilliandil the half-star and reunite with their old friend and protector, the great lion Aslan. They will also have to save Narnia from an "unfathomable fate", including a mysterious green mist.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 fantasy adventure film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, the team behind the National Treasure franchise. The story is loosely based on the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment in Disney's Fantasia, which in turn is based on the late 1890s symphonic poem by Paul Dukas and the 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ballad.

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan fighting against the forces of evil, in particular his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), while searching for the person who will inherit Merlin's powers. This turns out to be Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a physics student at New York University, whom Balthazar takes as a reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling apprentice a crash course in the art and science of magic and sorcery, in order to stop Horvath and Morgana le Fay (Alice Krige) from destroying the world.

The film was originally set to be released on July 16, 2010, but was instead released two days earlier on July 14, 2010.


Cast

• Nicolas Cage as Balthazar Blake: A thousand year old sorcerer based on the magician Yen Sid portrayed in Fantasia.
• Jay Baruchel as David "Dave" Stutler: An average college student who becomes Blake's apprentice. He is based on the character played by Mickey Mouse in Fantasia. 
• Jake Cherry as Young David "Dave" Stutler
• Alfred Molina as Maxim Horvath: An evil sorcerer and Balthazar's rival. He appears as a secondary antagonist.
• Teresa Palmer as Rebecca "Becky" Barnes: The love interest of Dave.

Amalan-amalan Yang Digalakkan Dalam Bulan Syaaban

1. Syaaban ertinya berpecah atau bercerai-berai. Ia dinamakan demikian kerana orang-orang Arab pada bulan tersebut akan berhijrah ke mana-mana tempat untuk mencari air sehingga ke gua-gua dan sebagainya. Pendapat lain pula mengatakan, sebab diertikan demikian adalah sebagai tanda pemisah iaitu memisahkan di antara bulan Rejab dan Ramadhan.
2. Dari berbagai keterangan ini, yang dapat disimpulkan bagi pengertian bulan Syaaban itu ialah bulan Syaaban adalah masa untuk manusia berebut-rebut mengejar kebajikan sebanyak mungkin sebagai latihan dan persediaan untuk memasuki bulan Ramadhan
3. Sebahagian ahli hikmah menyatakan bahawa sesungguhnya bulan Rejab adalah kesempatan untuk meminta ampun dari segala dosa, bulan Syaaban adalah kesempatan untuk memperbaiki diri dari segala macam celaan dan pada bulan Ramadhan adalah masa untuk menerangkan hati dan jiwa.
4. Di antara amalan-amalan yang digalakkan pada bulan Syaaban adalah :
i. Memperbanyakkan puasa sunat. Di dalam kitab Durratun Nasihin ada menyebut sebuah hadis yang menyatakan bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda yang maksudnya : "Sesiapa yang berpuasa tiga hari pada permulaan Syaaban dan tiga hari pada pertengahan Syaaban dan tiga hari pada akhir Syaaban, maka Allah mencatat untuknya pahala seperti pahala tujuh puluh nabi dan seperti orang-orang yang beribadat kepada Allah Taala selama tujuh puluh tahun dan apabila dia mati pada tahun itu maka dia seperti orang yang mati syahid."
ii. Memperbanyak doa, zikir dan membaca selawat kepada Rasulullah SAW. Sabda Rasulullah SAW : "Sesiapa yang mengagungkan bulan Syaaban, bertaqwa kepada Allah, taat kepada-Nya serta menahan diri dari perbuatan maksiat, maka Allah Taala mengampuni semua dosanya dan menyelamatkannya di dalam tahun itu dari segala macam bencana dan penyakit." (Dipetik dari kitab Zubdatul Wa'izhin)
iii. Bertaubat
iv. Meraikan malam 15 Syaaban atau lebih dikenali sebagai malam Nisfu Syaaban di mana sunat ia dihidupkan dengan membaca zikir dan Al Quran kerana malam tersebut adalah malam yang amat mustajab dan penuh rahmat.
