IMDb: In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.
Another story from a brilliant writer, Neil Gaiman. I haven't read anything he's written and haven't even heard of his name until my friend mentioned it. The story was good and the movie was even better. I didn't even want to blink. Robert De Niro was so funny with his portrayal of a gay captain who had to put up a facade because he wanted to protect his reputation. Michelle Pfeiffer was impressive as the dominant among 3 sisters who wanted to have eternal youth and beauty. She was even better than the White Witch in Narnia played by Tilda Swinton who by the way looks like Cate Blanchett. I don't like Claire Danes but she was okay. I loved the newcomer Charlie Cox and his character as Tristan, not to mention that he's uber hot.
The movie plot was simple but it's not cheesy even if it was a story of a knight in shining armor and a damsel in distress. It's definitely a must see.
