Stardust
I saw advertisements for the film Stardust last year and really wanted to go and see it, but unfortunately never had the opportunity. I even read Ben’s opinions of the film, which just made me want to see the film even more.
I finally got around to watching it the day before yesterday and absolutely loved it. So much, in fact, that I watched it again last night. I don’t remember the last time I did that with a film.
The film had humour, action, love, magic and I never found myself thinking that a particular scene was dragging on or unnecessary. I just thoroughly enjoyed it.
I would definitely recommend it, even if you aren’t a big fantasy fan. I found Robert De Niro’s character very good, and Ricky Gervais didn’t annoy me (which is a rarity!).

I went to see it twice while in theatres, actually. Once with my friend Vivike, then the next day with my mom–it wasn’t intentional; it just happened that way. Then I bought it on DVD the day it came out.
I’ve watched it several times since then, and it never lets me down.
