{5\/5} “Victoria, for your hand in marriage I’d cross the wall and I’d bring you back that fallen star.”<\/p>\n

Stardust<\/strong>, released in 2007<\/p>\n

Tristan goes through the wall that separates England from Stormhold. He finds that a fallen star has taken the form of a woman who calls herself Yvaine. Meanwhile Lamia, a witch who will stop at nothing, is also tracking the star. And two princes vying to be king, Primus and Septimus, are looking for the amulet that the star has.<\/p>\n

It’s one of my favourite fantasy movies. It’s epic, has perfect actors, and it’s very funny.<\/p>\n

The three witches are hilarious, as are the ghosts of the dead princes.<\/p>\n

The dazzling visuals will make you wish you’d seen it on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Peter O’Toole and Ricky Gervais have small but delightful parts. Ian McKellen is the narrator.<\/p>\n

Much of the movie will have you on the edge of your seat.<\/p>\n

Based on the book by Neil Gaiman (Neverwhere<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, and Robert De Niro. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class<\/strong>). I like the energetic music by Ilan Eshkeri a lot — my favourite track is “Septimus.”<\/p>\n

This is probably the 3rd time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
