Real Life Magic.

Rating: 4
A wonderful adaptation of a classic story, this movie is beautifully filmed. A great addition to any collection of children's movies. I enjoyed this as a child and still enjoyed seeing it again as an adult.

Great show for any age.

Rating: 5
I have loved this movie since I was a little girl and bought it simply to remind me of childhood. Watching it as an adult has still been a great experience, I think it's a wonderful movie.

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Spooky Garden".

Rating: 1
As a child I had read Frances Hodgsen Burnett's book, "The Secret Garden" and watched the BBC production of the same title. I immensely enjoyed both the book and the television production. I was surprised when another movie version was released in 1993. Out of curiosity I purchased the movie when it was released on home video as the BBC production was unavailable for purchase at the time. To be honest this version could have been produced by Alfred Hitchcock and titled "The Spooky Garden." The movie attempts to follow the classic story but the portrayal of the story is rather dark and lends itself to mysticism and New Age theology. The only acting which is note worthy is from Maggie Smith. She gives a chilling portrayal of Mrs. Medlock. I would advise people not to waste their money on this particular version but instead purchase either the BBC production starring Sarah Hollis Andrews or the Hallmark Hall of Fame version starring Gennie James and Colin Firth.
