Stardust

If you like Cinderella type of fairy tale, you’ll definitely dig this movie. Complete with the special effect and good casting, this movie is definitely one of the must watch in 2007. The real story begins when Tristan crosses the ‘wall’ to get the ‘star’ for his beloved Victoria. Little does he know (or at least until the end of the movie) that his adventure will turn his whole life up side down and we’ll be keep cheering for him throughout the whole movie. In his journey he does find the ‘star’ but in form of a girl named Yvaine who’s glowing (literally glowing) whenever she feels happy. And Yvaine is also wearing the necklace which is sought by dreary princes (beyond ugly) of the Stormhold kingdom (they need to find this necklace to mark their position as the appointed king of Stormhold). Well, we already know the ending of the story the moment that Tristan jumps over the wall, but we just don’t know how the journey goes and the story is wrapped with the just nice balance of humour, adventure, thriller and romance. To make the journey more exciting, the story includes the witches who hunt the star to prolong their life and the pirate captain who hides his hobby of cross dressing in order to keep his reputation in front of his crew. We laugh, jump with excitement, thrill and sad at the same time as the movie goes on and by the time it ends, we wake up from the dream and back to reality.
