Just watched Stardust on HBO and i must say that it is a really sweet and simply magical movie. At first i was rather hesitant about watching it cuz i didn't want it to spoil the book. i dont think that it did cuz the approach to the movie and the book were very different so i tried to dis-associate the movie from the book. (plus Charlie Cox was oh so cute! how could you hate the movie) But i did feel akward for Robert De Niro who was acting as a transvestite. Dont get me wrong, i love the queer, but he ususally has more macho and mafia-ish roles which was prolly why i believed his character when Captain Shakespeare was pretending to be a ruthless pirate more than his female side. As usual Claire Danes looked gorgeous and Sienna Miller looked pretty as Victoria. (PS: Star World is going to show the movie Factory Girl which she starred in and i'm curious to see how they're going to pull it off cuz they prolly had to censor and cut out chunks of the movie given that it was given an R rating in the States for "for pervasive drug use, strong sexual content, nudity and language" according to IMDb) Anyhoo back to the movie, besides the sometimes lame effects i thought that it was pretty enjoyable.
