Movie comments: STARDUST







I have to admit that i haven't been watching movies lately. I don't know lah, watching movies used to be in my "top 5 things i really really enjoy doing even when it means that i'm wasting my precious time", but now, it all seems to fade away. Naturally, i blame my depression!

But today, i had a slight change in my "mood for movies" and decided to watch a movie which has been in my HD for few weeks already (got it from Amir.....thanks Amir!), called STARDUST. I kinda like the title, coz it sounds......i don't know.....magical? hehe.







This movie falls in the action, fantasy genre and it featured some well-knowned stars, like Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer (looking super gorgeous at times), Rupert Everett (my favourite gay actor, ever! thanks to My Best Friend's Wedding), Sienna Miller and Claire Danes as the star itself (i mean, literally the star, as in bintang di langit malam....). The main actor is someone i've never heard of: Charlie Cox (sape die nih?)

Ok, the plot of this movie is not that complicated. Basically, the main character, Tristan (Charlie Cox) is a gampang, hasil drpd hubungan luar nikah of this one man (his dad), with a princess who was caught by a witch and made a slave. 18 years later, Tristan's dad gave him a letter from the mom (he grew up without his mom), together with a magical black candle (forgot its name) which can bring him anywhere he wishes to go. Tristan was in love with Victoria (Sienna Miller), but the bitchy Vic doesn't, She likes Humphrey instead (some guy, tak penting pun). But stupid Tristan still wants her, so to impress her, he promised her to bring her a star, as a sign of his love. At the same time, a star fell from the sky, in the form of a beautiful girl (Claire Danes). People on earth saw it as a shooting star. So, Tristan held the candle and thought about the place where the star landed and was brought there (of course, by magic). He got there and saw the girl. Then come another character, the fugly, old witch (Michelle Pfeiffer), who's been waiting for so long for this star to come crashing on earth. Al-kaedahnye, if she gets to the star girl and rip her chest open and get her heart, she'll become young and beautiful forever and ever (awet muda la kononnye tuh..). So, bermula la pengembaraan mereka. Banyak lagi sebenarnye, but malas nak cite.

Here are the things that i like about this movie:
1) the musical score is very powerful, at the right scenes. You can easily capture the moments by the music. Very....goosebumpy!

2) the plot is very nice and interesting, tak rasa bosan punn, even though the movie runs for more than 2 hrs.

3)kinda love the SFX, not totally perfect, but very good.

4)i really like the way htey show how Claire's character glow according to her emotions (apparently, a star shines when it's happy....) (she was shining soooo brightly when Tristan told her he loves her)(fantasy, huh?)

5)Robert DeNiro as the "fonen coverina". Hehe, sangat tak boleh blah! The first time he came out to the audience: "ever tried to get a bloodstain out of a silk shirt? Nightmare!!!" Hehe, totally got me there! Bee-atch!

So, in conclusion, this is a very entertaining movie for me and if you get the chance or if you have this movie in your HD but hesitant to watch, just give it atry...i don't think you'll regret watching it.
