Go watch Stardust!

Go! Go!

I’m serious. Go and watch Stardust.

Its everything a movie should be - funny, sweet, romantic, action-packed, magical,  witches, flying ships … and it leaves you with a lovely warm fuzzy feeling inside. Aww…

Its got Robert de Niro and the oh-so-gorgeous Michelle Pfeiffer in it and they really hammed up their roles. Wonderful! Granted, I made really stupid comments throughout the movie like “Why aren’t they cut from flying glass?” and I’m told “Its a movie!!”

And don’t buy popcorn - you’ll be laughing too hard to eat it.

I loved Captain Shakespeare’s crew “Arr…” and I loved the ghostly band of brothers. I loved how they slid in such pun-ny scenes like blue blood, without drawing attention to it at all.

The story line is sweet - boy meets girl, boy learns lesson in love. And yes its a fairy tale so yes, they live happily ever after.

Sigh… I loved the movie… can you tell? :)

Now I want to read the book. Its Neil Gaiman - it should be good.

And does anyone else think that Claire Danes looks like a young Gwenyth Paltrow?

    What is Stardust and who is Neil Gaiman? *grin* But if it’s good, I’m game for it!

    Hey, you just reminded me of my fave diner in NYC called Stardust! We used to go there for our hearty breakfasts ~ bacon & eggs, w/ a cuppa tea!

    May: Yes it was absolutely fantastic. I’m still looking for the book (without the movie poster cover).

    Rinnah: Aww… not a fantasy fan? but nevermind - its good. Very very good!

    LB: Wow! That breakfast sounds yummy! Shall bear Stardust in mind if I ever visit NYC

    I loved the book when I read it, it was the very first Neil Gaiman book I’d read.

    I’m actually not too keen on the film as film adaptations tend to disappoint. I might give this one a go though since you’ve reco-ed it.
