One of my favorite childhood movies of all times. Labyrinth is a 1986 fantasy film directed by Jim Henson. Puppets play most of the roles. Two notable exceptions are Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) and the Goblin King, Jareth (David Bowie, who wrote and performed several songs for the film).

Sarah wishes for goblins to take away her screaming baby brother, but when they do she must find her way to the center of a fantastic labyrinth and bring him back. Jareth tries to confuse, frighten and seduce her, but she learns to rely on her own strength and overcomes his power.

My favorite scene of the movie is definitely the Ballroom scene which also plays my favorite song in the movie "As the world falls down" by David Bowie. (It's currently playing on my blog)

I don't know what it is about this scene, but as a young child, this scene inspired such wonder in me even until now, it still does. I guess it has something to do with David Bowie. He exudes this cool, charismatic look which left a deep impression on me. I think he's gorgeous!

Something to look forward to...the movie adaptation of Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha is coming to our cinema screens soon. After the novel was published, Arthur Golden was sued by the geisha he worked with for defamation and breach of contract. According to the plaintiff, the agreement was supposed to be total anonymity for the main character of his story. This was because there is a code of silence among the geisha community and breaking that code is a serious offense. Once the plaintiff's name was printed in the book, she received numerous death threats and requests to commit seppuku for dishonoring her profession. However, she opted to sue Golden for putting her name in the novel. The case is currently under litigation.
