I personally recommend Netflix, since you're already paying for the service and not any DVD in particular, or cable (same theory).

As for making you interested, that's the risk you run when you tell people to avoid something. I'm hoping to offset that by making Susan Cooper fans (and casual fantasy fans) aware of what this movie actually is, so they don't go, "Oh, hey, random movie, looks interesting, let's see it." They've done such a good job of butchering the movie and then disguising it with a different title that several people have mentioned they didn't even realize what it was an adaptation of.
