Movies: Stardust
This week:
Stardust
Adapted from a Neil Gaiman book I wanted to like more than I did, awkward and unengaging first half but picks up towards the climax. The dead brothers were entertaining in a Princess Bride kind of way, though it never gets to those heights in terms of screenwriting or acting. That being said, beautiful sets and a very convincing physical transformation of Tristran which I enjoyed watching. Also, the guy playing Septimus looks identical to Alan Rickman - a little unnerving.
Cheers
