Summary: 4 Stars
an unusual spin to an "old" fairy tale. I bought it for my young niece and enjoyed watching it with her. She is 4 so I fast forward the scary scenes now which doesn't make her happy (she likes scary). An appropiate film for older childrenDVD Review: Jack and the Beanstalk:The Real Story

Summary: 5 Stars
Made for TV by Hallmark. This movie runs almost 3 hours - 174 minutes, too bad it was shot at 1:33 aspect ratio.
Nominated for 4 Emmys and won 2
PG Rated
Starring Matthew Modine, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Attenborough, Darry Hannah and Jon Voight
Such a wonderful story written by Brian Henson (son of Jim Henson and Co-CEO of the Jim Henson Company). How many Jack and the Beanstalk movies have you seen yet? But this one is really different, I guarantee you. It is long but worth every minute of it.
The movie started on a site where there is a preparation to build a luxurious casino. It was a stormy night, shown is a couple of gigantic bones which is a part of a skeleton which later was proven to be not of dinosaur origin.
Jack Robinson is a wealthy businessman who owns the company that is building the casino. He is young and looks full of life. Unfortunately, all his descendants have died mysteriously before the age of 40. A family curse that he never believed until he met his aunt. Jack believes that all the family's wealth are the result of his kins' hard work and sweat. A difficult fact that he will learn in his search for who he really is. He will meet the mysterious Mia Sara, someone who is from the world beyond the clouds, where more of his adventures will continue. The love story part is magical and wondrous.
We have seen this movie 5 times and still love every part of it. The camera effects are not your typical Lucas and Spielbergs but quite magical in its own merit.
DVD Review: It was brokenin the box, I never even opened it
Summary: 1 Stars
I sent for this DVD, and when it arrived in the mail, it made noise when you shook the box it came in. I have been busy, and have not had time to complain about it till now. I want a new,good one, and don't feel it's fair wasting my time shipping it back to you.
Description of Jack and the Beanstalk - The Real Story
When a modern-day jack uncovers an ancient family curse he must make amends for the sins of his ancestors by traveling to a land where an immortal giant swears vengeance for all eternity. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 04/22/2003 Starring: Matthew Modine Mia Sara Run time: 184 minutes Rating: NrThis ambitious miniseries begins with Jack's descendant (Matthew Modine) and works its way backward to the story of the original young man and the beanstalk. Because the first Jack used that towering vine to steal a giant's magic goose and harp, an entire world was reduced to poverty and a bloodline was cursed--all Robinson men die in their 40s, and the modern-day Jack is around that age. Fortunately, Ondine (Mia Sara), a visitor from the giant's alternative reality, has a plan. If she and Jack can recover the stolen items in time, they may be able to solve both problems. The made-for-TV movie boasts top stars (including Vanessa Redgrave and Jon Voight) and Jim Henson's Creature Shop's nifty special effects. Although children younger than 10 may find the complex narrative confusing and the implied violence scary, Jack and the Beanstalk is an inventive retelling that adds new life to an old story. --Kathleen C.
