Rating: Summary: Movie About Friendship and Caring Review: This is a great movie. I think it has a good message for kids and some really fun songs as well. Sarah William's is a teenager (kind of spoiled and whiny.) Who 'accidentally' wishes for her baby stepbrother Toby to be taken away, from Jareth, the Goblin King. Sarah has to go through Jareth's wild and crazy looking Labyrinth to save Toby. On the way she makes some really good friends and learns that living in reality. Isn't really that bad.
Rating: Summary: Don't forget the bonus! Review: For Christmas this year, I received my first DVD player, and a DVD shopping spree. This classic was near the top of my list. After seeing the bonus material, I am hooked! I must tell you there is an amazing documentary on the making of the movie included. Remember when? Remember when cars were made of metal? And movies were really filmed? How did David Bowie walk around and hang upside down (or was Jennifer Connelly defying gravity?) Did David Bowie really learn all those mesmerizing crystal ball maneuvers? Even if you have the video, or have seen the movie, the bonus material makes the DVD a must see!
Rating: Summary: A beautiful grown up faerytale!! Review: This is one of my favourite movies, because it truly understands the hearts of grown up girls, their love of fantasy and lure the dark & dangerous lad that leads us down the garden path. It's a wonderful tale, with marvellous tunes that linger on and on. From "It's Only Forever", "Underground" and "Chilly Down" but most especially "As the World Falls Down". Sigh, such a beautiful and deftly filmed Cinderella Ball for Adults. I don't know a woman that loves this film who does not say "I want that dress!".Sarah is an easy to relate to teen. She is part child - part woman, one foot in each world and truly not belonging to either. Added to this, her father has remarried and has little time to spend on his growing daughter. We are not told, but it's clear her mother is dead. Mom was an actress and lover of the magic and she passed this on to her lovely daughter. It's very hard to believe Jennifer Connelly is only 12 years old here!!! She is the perfect Sarah, the beautiful woman-child that has no sense of her place in the world. Too grown for childish things, too young for boys and dating. Her cherished childhood toys are giving carelessly to her new baby stepbrother, again emphasizing her feelings of alienation. Her new mother has little patience, and even when she tries, she meets with a hostile resentful woman-child. Sarah pain at feeling as if she is not wanted anywhere is so heartbreaking. Left with the crying baby, and feeling that her world is slowly crumbling around her (reflected in Bowie's "As the World Falls Down"), the child side takes control and spitefully wishes the baby to be taken away from the Goblins. In true Muppet fashion, they promptly and cheerful comply. Sarah faces the Goblin King Jareth - perfectly brought to life by Bowie - and demands he return her brother. When Jareth says he will only return her brother if she finds her way to the Goblin City, Sarah sucks in her courage and goes after him. Along the way she meets wonderful friends such as Hoggle and Sir Didymous, and finds out her own inner value and worth. Something we all have to do in growing up. A true faerytale for the little girl in us, wonderfully realized through the magic of the Muppets, Connelly and Bowie. This set is laced with all the wonderful goodies that will thrill all the many lovers of the film. Kudos for the super repackage.
Rating: Summary: Great :)! Review: This is yet another movie I grew up watching, and it is still a favourite of mine. I can't watch it enough, the magic, the spooky stuff, and of course, that nasty bog of stench! Kids and adults will enjoy this movie, I urge you to see it.
Rating: Summary: One of the best childrens fantasy films ever made! Review: I have watched this film over and over and i still havent got bored of it! It really has to be one of the best fantasy films ever, the casting couldnt have been better and the puppets are so imaginative! It really goes to show that they dont make films like they used to!
Rating: Summary: CHILLY DOWN! Review: This is one of my favorite movies. The songs are very cool, the puppets are realistic, and just... wow. The three best parts of this movie are- 1. The Dance Magic song with all the goblins singing 2. CHILLY DOWN WITH THE FIRE GANG! Forgive me for using chatspeak, but THE FIRE GANG PWNS j00! 3. The battle scene. One of the funniest parts. I love this movie so much. Definately a must-buy.
Rating: Summary: Till the day I die, I will never tire of this movie. Review: This is one of the coolest pieces of 80s memorabillia you can get. Jerith is very attractive, the goblins are highly ammusing, & the soundtrack is amazing, & the scenery is only too cool! & wait till you see the interdimension room!
Rating: Summary: AWSOME!!!!!! Review: Considering they use puppets and old time FX this is one of the BEST films i have ever seen. Watch it and watch it its music never dies and its plot never fails you should buy it it is a GREAT movie!!!!! Have Fun!!!!
Rating: Summary: Cant Wait Review: Cant wait for this edition to come out... I have loved this movie ever since I was a little kid... Its a great story how friendship and believing can help you out and conquer even the darkest of the things... The extras look awesome esp. the added drawing by Brian Froud he is my fave faerie artist
Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: The Labrynth is a movie full of fantasy and wonder, suspense and joy, a movie that is worth watching over and over again. The puppets have such character, and add a great deal of humor to the movie, the actors are great, I am not a big fan of David Bowie, but I have to admit, he did a great job as the goblin king, the movie as a whole was a fantasy that you just think could never happen, while huddling under the covers at night hoping the goblins don't try to take you, it makes you wonder if maybe something like this really could happen...all in all Labrynth is a wonderful fantasy addition to anyone's home DVD or VHS collection
