5 stars Fantasy at it's best!
Excellant story line with plenty of action to satisfy. Comedy at it's best with some drama thrown in, magic and monsters, what better format for a fantasy film! A film worth watching again and again, fun for the whole family!

4 stars Modern "Classic" on DVD at last
While not exactly at the cutting edge of special effects today, Willow was right up there when it was made in 1988, and subsequently I thought at the time it was better than sliced bread, seeing it numerous times at the cinema before the end of its run. An action packed medieval story line, where the Nelwin (Dwarf) Willow, is thrust into being an unlikely hero, in the protection of a baby who is prophesised to bring about the downfall of the evil Queen Bavmorda. Willow has always been one of my favourites, and to have it released in the clarity of DVD format, is a real Buzz. I highly recommend anyone who has enjoyed the first "Lord of the Rings" movie to give Willow a try if you have not seen it before. Starring Warwick Davis (Willow), Joanne Whalley, and a great swashbuckling performance by a younger Val Kilmer (before he became a self centered, stuck up snob). Directed by Ron Howard, Story by George Lucas, and Music by James Horner. (PS - Soundtrack is awesome by the way!)

4 stars Lord of the short things !
A fantastic tale of sword and sorcery that was filmed in New Zealand long before Lord of the Rings. Great entertainment with a good moral to tell. Picture and sound quality are good. The scenery is terrific, a great travelog for N.Z.

Neverending Story DVD (1984)

Willow review

$9.85

In director Wolfgang Petersen's charming fantasy, Bastian (Barrett Oliver), a lonely schoolboy alienated from his father and bullied by his classmates, retreats to an attic where he becomes engrossed in a book entitled THE NEVERENDING STORY. It is the tale of a magical kingdom appropriately named Fantasia, since it is a world born of human fantasies. However, as humanity loses faith in the power of imagination, the once-thriving Fantasia is being destroyed by great storms of Nothingness. Dangerously ill herself, Fantasia's youthful empress (Tami Stronach) sends the young warrior Atreju (Noah Hathaway) on a quest to find a cure for the kingdom. After encountering flying dragons, swamp monsters and a vast assortment of other strange creatures, the young hero discovers that only a human boy can save Fantasia, at which point Bastian is drawn, literally, into the pages of the story. 94 minute feature film DVD. A young warrior, Altreyu, and the faith of a young boy battle the unknown of the Nothing to save the creatures of Fantasia.

$9.69

Director Ridley Scott's lush fantasy film stars the young Tom Cruise as Jack, a peasant who lives in an enchanted forest with his beloved Lili (Mia Sara). One day, while quietly gamboling in a glade, the pair is distracted by the appearance of trolls, minions of the evil Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry). The cloven-footed, cavern-dwelling monster, long banished to the earth's nether regions, has sent the creatures on a mission to seize the horn of a unicorn, thereby plunging the planet into a frigid darkness over which he alone will reign. Things go from bad to worse as Lili succumbs to the forces of darkness, and Jack must assemble a motley band of elves to free her from bondage and return sunlight to the earth's surface. Sumptous art direction and overwhelming special effects are once again a testament to Scott's powers of visual invention. In this classic fantasy/adventure, pure good and foulest evil will soon battle to the death. Set amid a timeless mythical forest inhabited by fairies, goblins and other magical folk is the story of Jack, a forest dweller who lives in solitude and harmony with the animals of the wood--including Unicorns, who are key to keeping light alive and evil at bay. Chosen by fate to undertake a heroic quest, Jack must brave a host of terrors to not only save his true love--a beautiful princess named Lili--from the clutches of the demonic Lord of Darkness, but also rescue a captive unicorn--or the world will be plunged into a never-ending ice age where the dawn never comes and evil rei

Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl DVDs (2003)

Willow video

$15.15

Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he's in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth's childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl's mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth's doubloon necklace, and when she's kidnapped by the ol' salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship's curse. Verbinski's PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast (especially Depp) plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there's lots of humor to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film. Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley star in this action adventure. The 2-disc DVD set features deleted scenes, outtakes and audio commentary with Johnny Depp.
