Stardust
A fun fantasy film. Well, to be totally honest the basic narrative arc was as predictable as sin, and I had a hard time engaging myself with the two lead protagonists, but it was the little things which made it work, and there were enough of them throughout to keep it moving along fairly smoothly, most notably its surprisingly macabre sense of humour. And Mark Williams was in it, giving an absolutely stunning performance as a goat trapped inside a human body. Which was nice.
By the way, does anyone else here have vague memories of this other, much more low-key movie entitled Stardust, featuring a sentient vacuum cleaner? Okay, I guess it's just me then...
