  Muppets on acid!
Review created: 11/06/06(updated 18/06/06)
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Jim Henson, the creator of 'The Muppets', has created a team of 'punk muppets' especially for this film. With the added filming skill of George Lucas and the script by Mony Python's Terry Jones you can expect to be in for a treat!

PLOT

Sarah, played by Jennifer Connelly is upset to have been made to baby sit her younger brother and wishes him away. The goblin bad guy, played by David Bowie, grants her wish.
Sarah soon regrets her actions and vows to get him back. The bulk of this film is of her leading a hellish and at times surreal journey to retrieve him.
David Bowie has one particularly surreal sixties acid moment in the film where they leave the plot and the planet!

RESULT

The film is a cross between the Muppet show and Alice in wonderland. Any child would enjoy the puppetry and the humour in this film, although little ones out there may need counselling through the scarier parts of the film.
If you get the chance to watch this film, try playing spot the real or puppet 'Dulux' dog.

  Fun, classic family film
Review created: 09/08/08
by:

This was one of my favourite films when I was a youngster. It a blend of real actors (namely a very young Jennifer Connolly and David Bowie) and some great puppetry from the fantastic Jim Henson Creature Shop. It blends fantasy, mad characters and songs perfectly. Sarah (Jennifer Connolly) is so sick of looking after her stepbrother Toby, that she wishes the Goblin King (David Bowie) take him away from her. He obliges but Sarah immediately wishes she hadn't wished for it so sets off in search for Toby, who is being held in the Goblin Castle. She encounters various characters along the way, some who try to hamper her progress to the castle. Great songs, puppets and David Bowie hamming it up beautifully! A great family film, although younger children may be a bit frightened of some of the more 'strange looking' puppets!

Review created: 08/08/08

I was Extatic when i recieved this movie on Dvd, after having it recorded of the telly when i was 4 i fell in love with it (even though the ended was recorded over by BROOKSIDE) SO throughout my life i had a hazy vision of the ending so when i was able to relive it i was thrilled!

A terrific magical story by the legend himself Jim Henson who's creature creations are genius i cant see how anyone can dislike the movie, and please feel free to let me know if you do dislike it so i can argue the toss with your point of view lol!

And to top it all off DAVID BOWIE is in it who introduces a fantastic collection of songs throughout its just Brilliant its deffinatly worth having in your Collection! And If you Adore this movie then i highly recomend if you dont already know about it to check out The Dark Crystal another Jim Henson Classic without his beloved Kermit.

Review created: 24/07/08

Cool film! Way too good for children. Jim Henson, as ever, is the absolute master of every kind of puppetry known to man or muppet.Particularly adorable is the little punk worm who invites Sarah to "Come inside and meet the missus"... very cute. The plot has all the essential elements of a good fairy tale with the added bonus of a heroine who manages to get through all her trials and tribulations without squealing feebly or fainting into the arms of any poxy bloke. David Bowie(despite the fright wig) his natural humour shines through although his character does a pretty good job of being spiteful and menacing. I get the feeling the he really enjoyed making this film. The soundtrack is excellent and "As the World Falls Down" is quite hauntingly beautiful ('though I have to agree with an earlier reviewer that the ballroom sequence in which it was played did slow the action down a little - but it was a visual feast).

All in all, a beautiful film with a wonderful cast of creatures and humans. Makes me miss Jim Henson's talents lots but at least we've still got Brian (his son). My friend's three year old now has a crush on the Goblin King (I dread to think how that's gonna shape her life!).

This film is my partners favorite all time film! Something about the mystique of David Bowie, and magical memories of childhood dreamworld similar to Alice in Wonderland but more modern, more mysterious and less linked to child paedo Author.

  Bowie the king of the Goblins!!
Review created: 05/04/08
by:

An absolute classic Jim Henson movie, my kids (12 & 9) and i thoroughly enjoyed it. My youngest has claimed it for her 'bedtime' film, which means it will be played to death over the next few weeks or so!!

I bought it because i remembered seeing it as a kid and thought we would be able to watch it on our 'dvd night'.

I love Bowie in this,but to be fair I would love him in anything!! The puppets are hilarious and the story is great for youngsters and the young at heart alike. Watch out for the Bog of Eternal Stench!!!

  A great film. One for all the family, great copy too.
Review created: 08/03/08

This was one of my favorite films as a kid, seen it again & it's still brilliant. Jim Henderson rocks & Bowie is just cool no matter what he does. If you haven't seen it & you love the weird & wonderful, this is a must see.

This film just get's better witht ime. As a child I cheered on Sara and her gang of friend's and booed the vil Goblin King, and as an adult I an simply in love with the bad guy and can't belive the heroen turned him down, I know I wouldn't. it's a truely lovely film that I'm found of watching. it remind's me of my childhood and make's me wonder at 80's fasen sence. It also holds a spical place in my heart as it introduced me to the wonderful art ork of Brain Froud and his qorld of fay. truth be told this is a wonderfully fun film that you can watch with kid's or adult's. My friend's kid's love this film, at the moment it's their flavor of the month.

  How to get an iPhone, Wii, PS3 or 360 for nothing!
Review created: 19/01/08

The Free iPhone Guide


To get yourself a free iPhone all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free iPhone
Sign up at the link below to get your free iPhone. We recommend this free iPhone site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into browser)

You can choose other prizes like free consoles from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your iPhone! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free iPhone if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (rent two DVD's, keep them for about 2 days, send them back and then cancel the trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 2 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free iPhone!

Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free iPhone sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free PS3, Wii, and XBOX Elite without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free iPhone!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free iPhone, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free iPhone!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free iPhone in no time.

Thank you.
