Stardust


We rented this over the holiday break. We heard some good reviews from people and really wanted to see it in the theater, but never got there. It was received better over seas than in the U.S. (knowing the average American movie goer, I am not surprised)

Well, we really enjoyed it. It was funny, exciting and left you feeling good after it was over. Some compare it to a "Princess Bride" type of movie. It is darker than the "Princess Bride" and is rated PG-13 (an appropriate rating), but still has the adventure and true love.

Anyways, we would definitely recommend it. After it was over, I couldn't stop thinking about it and watched it again before returning it. I think this will be one of those "word of mouth" type of movies.

Hopefully you will enjoy; if not, you didn't have to take my recommendation!

Sounds like my kind of movie. Maybe we'll name our next child after one of the characters :) I'll have to check it out.

I liked the movie and I'm a heterosexual male.

I absolutely LOVE your background. Back in December I tried putting a picture on our background but I couldn't get it to work so I gave up.. Maybe I'll have to steal a code from the place you got your layout and then I'll just change the picture myself. :) Anyway, yes, I love it- so fitting!

I second that motion--Stardust is a must see. I really enjoyed how Captain Shakespeare used a Dvorak Slavonic Dance as his waltz music--Dvorak is my all time favorite composer.
By the way, in case you're wondering who I am, I followed a link on Nik & Emily's blog and found myself here. You've a nice blog and very cute kids.
