Charles McGrath betrays a collossal unfitness to write on the subject, only two sentences into this snide piece on C. S. Lewis:

The movie of course has the benefit of studio bean counters and recognizes that this could be the mother of all screen battles – not just your basic struggle of good and evil but a $200 million smackdown between the religious right and godless Hollywood, between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. . .

He goes on to speculate about Lewis’s sexual masochism, among other things.
