MIRRORMASK
This is about a 15 year old girl that wants to leave her parents circus and be in what she calls the real world. When her mum becomes sick she ends up in a fantasy world where she has to save there world to save her own. To do this she must find the Mirror mask with the help of a friend she makes called Valentine.
This film is directed by Jim Henson and his wife but it isn't the typical puppets you are used to seeing in The Muppets, Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. This film is pretty much all CGI and it seems to work really well although there are some places where it is a little rubbish but then again I have found that with most mainly CGI films they have times where it is quiet up to scratch.
The main character Helena (Stephanie Leonidas) is annoying but then again it is pretty much like the rest of the Jim Henson stuff I mean i don't know anyone yet that doesn't find Sarah (Labyrinth) and Jen ( Dark Crystal) annoying at some point during the movie if not all the time. But you still find away to but that behind you and start to sympathize with the character on the journey through self discovery. Although Leonidas seems to plat an annoying 15 year old very well. There are a few famous people in this movie that i am sure you wonderful people would have heard of for example Rob Brydon, Steven Fry, Lenny Henry and Robert Llewellyn.
All in all I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it to anyone that like weird and wonderful fairytales. Or is you just like Jim Henson and want to see this new style he and his company have done.
So watch this space i will be back soon with more films for you :)
