The best movie no one saw

Stardust is in theaters now. It's a fantasy/adventure movie. I think it's like what The Princess Bride would be if it were a seriouser movie, with a much bigger CGI budget. I thought it would be okay, but I ended up getting choked up at times.

One of the most happy side-effects of the astounding success of The Lord of the Rings is that fantasy adventure is suddenly attracting big cinema dollars. For once, the chasing-after-someone-else's-success attitude of Hollywood is playing in my favor.
