The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia, #3)
by C.S. Lewis, Pauline Baynes

The new movie version? Well, I fell asleep halfway through, so I can't swear that I remember all of this correctly. I think that they went off in a boat to find the evil green mist that was kidnapping people in City of Lost Children.
Then, um, Lucy was tempted to become a vampire
but thought better of it after a conversation with Aslan, and after that there was a fight between Godzilla
and the Dark Overlord from Howard the Duck.
At the end, Puss in Boots from Shrek
fell off the end of the world. Or maybe it was a mouse with a sword and not a cat. Anyway, it was sad and I cried. That's pretty much it.
I admit it doesn't quite make sense when I write it down. Maybe I should see it again.

There are some trailers up for Voyage of the Dawn Treader right now. It looks very bright and pretty, at least.

I know, I saw one of them. I would have no concrete reason to be afraid if I hadn't watched the remake of Prince Caspian...
Dawn Treader isn't under Disney's banner anymore. And I loved the Caspian movie.
This is pretty much how I saw the movie so don't worry about your power of recall.

They do that thing from The Fifth Element, right? Only for some reason they've got seven elements instead of five, and they've changed Milla Jovovich's costume from

Not necessarily an improvement, IMHO...
How could you improve upon perfection? It's a logical fallacy.
I'd forgotten that Lora Leigh imitation of a mummy returned to life in Luc Besson's film.The badder the review, the more pix, huh?

Look, I'm not going to comment on the movie's dialogue. That would really be below the belt.
Hadn't she just hatched? Maybe she was feeling modest and they adapted the script?

And I'm not sure I agree with you about more pictures on badder reviews. I had lots of pics on Doctor Faustus and Les Trois Mousquetaires, and I really liked both of those! No, I make my choices on purely artistic grounds...
Okay this review might just be too awesome. Mentioning City of Lost Children AND Howard the Duck!Brilliant!
Elspeth! I dared not hope there was another person in the world who worshiped those two movies, but clearly Fate has smiled on me today!
I had an old VHS tape that had Little Shop of Horrors and Howard the Duck on it. I remember watching with horror the scene where the Dark Overlord sticks his tongue in the car lighter socket. I have no idea why my family friend thought that these movies were appropriate for a child?We watched City of Lost Children in French class, its such a beautiful and melancholy movie. We also watched Delicatessen, have you seen that one? It's messed up!
Ha! You are right, those movies are sooooo inappropriate for children... but my kids loved them too and watched them a hundred times. I am disappointed to say that the new DVD release of Howard has the tongue-in-car-lighter scene removed and the sauna scene ("Hm! Must be the mating season!") severely curtailed. Some people have no respect for history or culture.I love Delicatessen too. Indeed, messed up, but in such a good way...
OMG, and yet they left the sex scene? LMAO, that makes sense.
I still remember the episode of Caroline in the City with Lea Thompson defending the movie.
The notorious almost-interspecies-sex scene is still intact, I guess because it's essential to the plot and nothing actually happens. I must look up Caroline in the City, didn't know about that!
It was a silly show, but I liked it!
