Customer Reviews

A coming-of-age story based on a great novel, but it got the Hallmark treatment.

Based on a novel by Ursula K. Le Guin, this is one of those fantasy stories with wizards, High Priestess,’ evildoers, and magic. A young up-and-coming wizard, Ged (Shawn Ashmore), and an occasional friend are tasked with saving their world, “Earthsea,” from recent bad old evil ones. Meanwhile, back at the temple, a sister Kossil (Jennifer Calvert) with a nasty attitude and a vile of poison is trying to usurp the High priestess position from Thar (Isabella Rossellini). Will the wizard succeed in his mission? Will the slinky sister fulfill her mission? Well costumed, has fair graphics, and contemporary dialogue. Before watching this story, you may want to read Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.” And if you are a fan of Isabella Rossellini, she has a great series of shorts, Isabella Rossellini's “Green P-o-r-n-o Live”. It is all about bugs, fish, and other such creatures.
