I saw Stardust yesterday, had to get out of the house for a few hours while there was babyshowering going on for Nicole's sister's baby's stomach birth.
So yes - I went by myself, to the movies.

It wasn't anything like I thought it would be from the previews. There was adventure, there was magic, but no where near what they made it out to be. An epic battle between worlds, magic flooshing here and there - no, it was much more realistic, and I think it was better that way.

Just outside of England exists a magic world, there is only one portal, and it's heavily guarded... A young man ventures into it to collect a star, which instead of being a hunk of rock, turns out to be Claire Daines. Imagine his surprise!
So he throws her in chains and drags her with him.

Because everyone else is after the star for their own reasons - adventures abound, magic gets thrown about, and some amusing hijinks ensue.

It was a rather light, lovey, fantasy movie. A welcome change from the usual cookie cutter movies. I felt the cross-dressing Robert DiNero was a little unnecessary, it's seems there's a token homosexual ("wooftie") as of late, however I still give it 4 out of 5 stars. (HA! Stars!)
