Stardust

A quick word on Stardust. The film charms. Michelle Pfeiffer is wonderful. Charlie Cox is quite engaging. Claire Danes is woefully miscast. Robert DeNiro chews up the scenery. It's a sweet fairy tale that has a lot to offer adults. It's worth a look, and it stays with me. I need to give more thought to DeNiro's work as Captain Shakespeare. It's a big fey turn, but one that ultimately works. If the film falls short of magical, it's still a fun ride.
