Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a medium. And while it may have about as many changes as Prince Caspian it did not do the unthinkable sin of changing the character's personality. That's beside the point, in this movie they keep the main story arc ( Caspian searching for the seven lost lords) and exaggerated or shortened details about each island visited. Eustace was perfect, the whiny brat who doesn't even call his parents mum and dad. They expanded on the island of nightmares and Lucy's wish for beauty like Susan's. I didn't really get why they so explosively changed the way they found out Eustace was a dragon. I do think Reepicheep and Eustace's relationship was well done, all in all it was a good movie even if it doesn't quite measure up to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

Sorry for the cliffhanger folks, and now the backstory. Backstory My real name is actually Jadin May Parker. My parents were-are Mary Jane Parker and - "Like that new movie star?" Hey asks. Truly surprised I look down at him, "What?".  "Mary Jane something, the new star of that new movie about the talent show winner. Seriously you haven't heard about it?". I shake my head. "The Great Morning America channel has been promoting her interview and performance like nonstop all month. It'll be here at Times Square in a couple a weeks?". Shaking my head I decide to continue without further comment. And my dad is Peter Parker. They were high school sweet hearts who got married in college. But Mom ended up dropping out after Beni and I came along. I can remember the night he was born, Dad was gone again. He always seemed to work extra hours.So Mom left to catch a taxi to the hospital telling me to stay at the apartment saying she'd call my Gr...

Artemis Fowl

The worst piece of crap I’ve ever seen. What have you done to the real Artemis and when will he be vindicated? So much was wrong with the movie it would be easier to list what was right. Almost nothing besides names, the troll in Italy, and Holly punching Artemis in the face. But even the last one didn’t make much sense within the movie context. Even if you hadn’t read the book the plot makes little sense and is a washed out hollow shell of the story filled with cheesy trite overused movie tropes. Negative 90 percent.

The worst Adaption I never read

Normally I only write about books to movies I have seen, but my mom roped me into watching with her the movie she found on a free streaming app, “What a Girl Wants”. Basically it was a movie about a early 2000’s girl who’s mom and dad had gotten married by some sort of native people, but her dad was from an old British family of prestige and they did not approve of his choice of a wild American wife. So she was chased back to America pregnant with the protagonist Daphne. The basis of the movie is Daphne now graduated goes to Britain to meet her enstranged father, who has no idea she existed. The only problem is that not only is he running for some sort of political office, but he is about to marry another women with fine blood and teenage children of her own. Daphne flails through high society life, and meets a boy who is a “half breed” similar to herself who says his parents are the happiest people he knows, even though his mom has been disowned by her rich family. The movie wasn’t th...
