The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader [Blu-ray]This series just will not die. Even in this episode they take the protagonists to the gates of heaven. O.K. I’m going to admit it now; I’ve never read the Chronicles of Narnia. This series had some serious appeal a few years back I remember driving in the middle of a blizzard to catch a screening of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Honestly I really am beginning to realize that this is just a series of recycled plot points ... continue reading...
