Stardust- it was okay, could have been better. Some parts seemed very much a graphic novel come to life. I liked the talking ghost brothers. Claire Danes was wrong for the part. The soundtrack was weird, the loud rising orchestra cresendo in every scene was overkill and overdramatic. Some parts of the story and characters reminded me of The Princess Bride where you also had fantasy/adventure/strange new characters/true love message, but the PB was fantastic in every way while this movie fell short. Like in the Princess Bride several characters have a side story going on and they all seem equally interesting yet part of the same story but the characters in Stardust didn't have that same depth or appeal (except for the mother and Captain Shakespeare in terms of their side stories but it wasn't the same).

Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines- nice movie, made in 1965 but set in the early 1900s about a plane race across the English channel with pilots from all over the world, the planes were really frail looking back then so it was cool to see the different kinds. The movie is in color, nice humor too, if you liked Around the World in 80 Days you'll like this one.

Re: Movies Watched Recently
I went to see The Simpsons last night, but it was sold out  . Anyway, I ended up seeing Rush Hour with my best friend and my sister saw Bourne Ultimatum. I really can't stand Chris Tucker or Jackie Chan, but I can't stand Matt Damon's pretty-boy behind either. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were the lesser of two evils for me. Rush Hour was pretty mindless, but I laughed a few times, so I guess it was fine. My sister really enjoyed Bourne Ultimatum. I think she said it was the best of the Bournes.

Re: Movies Watched Recently
The Bourne ultimatum - Boring, over rated and predictable.
The Simpsons Movie - Too focused on the family, but actually enjoyable. Laughed a bit.
Live Free or Die Hard - Best Movie of the summer hands down.
Transformers - Ok the action scenes were great, but come on! "If I do not defeat Megatron you must put the Cube in my chest"

Bride and Prejudice- it was okay, some parts were cute, some parts were dumb, the songs were terrible, the book was waaaaay better.
