Stardust 2007
Today I've gone to the cinema to see Stardust, a film by Matthew Vaughn, which is based on a graphic novel by British science fiction and fantasy novelist, Neil Gaiman.
The story is about Tristan Thorn, a young man who lives in a village sorrounded by a wall that separates the world of the humans from the world of magic. One day he decides to cross the wall to bring a shooting star to the woman he loves, the beautiful and cold Victoria Forester. But soon he realises that what he thought would be a meteorite is actually a beautiful woman called Yvaine. She is a fallen star who is being chased after by the powerful Lamia who was once the witch-queen of Carnadine and now lives hidden from the outside world with her two sisters, Marmo and Empusa, in a canyon in Stormhold. The three witches are after the heart of the star to gain eternal life and beauty. But Lamia is not the only one to search the star because the two living princes of Stormhold need something that she has to become the new king of the world of magic. In their escape from their persecuters, Tristan and Yvaine will meet the fearsome Captain Shakespeare and Sal's slave girl; and together will face many other adventures that will show them what true love really is, and the truth of Tristan's origins, a secret that will change his fate forever.

If you are lovers of fantasy films, like myself, you are going to love this movie, because it has all the ingredients to become the film of the year: an interesting plot, a great cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Robert de Niro, Rupert Everett, Peter O'Toole, Sienna Miller, Charles Cox and Ian McKellen), and Ilan Eshkeri's beautiful soundrack which includes a song by Take That!
