Stardust

I recently saw "Stardust", a movie directed by Matthew Vaughn starring Ian McKellen, Bimbo Hart, and Alastair MacIntosh. You will also be surprised by the big names that make their entrance in this film. It is about this mystical land that exists close to a magical wall near a village. The movie feels just like if you are reading a children's storybook but there are some adult situations - in that only adults would 'get it'. If you like Harry Potter-ish kind of adventures with a bit of comedy then this film will appeal to you. It by no means is to be taken seriously, but it is good for the imagination and the special effects are quite good.

Stardust

The passage from this world to the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold is through a breach in a wall beside an English village. In the 1800s, a boy becomes a man when he ventures through the breech in pursuit of a fallen star, to prove his love for the village beauty. The star is no lump of rock, it's a maiden, Yvaine. Tristan, the youth, is not the only one looking for her: three witches, led by Lamia, want her heart to make them young; and, the sons of the dead king of Stormhold want her because she holds a ruby that will give one of them title to the throne. Assisting Tristan are his mother, the victim of a spell, and a transvestite pirate of the skies. Will Tristan win his true love?
