One of my favorite movies and I’m glad you enjoyed it too! I can’t believe that Charlie Cox, who plays Dare Devil, was Tristan! And, Ian Mackellan as the narrator, wow

2024-07-05 01:37:58 +0000 UTCFinally got around to watching this one. Haven't seen this movie in so long I couldn't remember most of it. Honestly have no clue why I only watched it the once, it's an excellent movie with an excellent cast to boot. Surprised Cassie didn't recognise Henry Cavill, or the voice of Ian McKellen narrating though. Not surprised she didn't recognise the male lead. Highly doubt she's seen Daredevil.

2024-06-17 02:13:28 +0000 UTCOne of my all-time favorite movies, so happy you enjoyed it too! It makes me tear up every time I see it, it's just such a happy ending.

2024-06-16 22:57:36 +0000 UTCI gave it a quick look. Ian narrated w/ a very Patrick Stewart voice, like Star Trek. I admit that they did Shakespeare. But I'm an old man, in my day, Declamation was not in fashion. We did Method Acting. True, Shakespeare King, Laurence Olivier, hated Method. But he never did this Patrick stuff.

2024-06-16 09:05:43 +0000 UTCAll of Robert Dinero's other roles were just to prepare him (and us) for this performance.

2024-06-13 03:03:20 +0000 UTCThis isn’t to take anything away from any of your other reactions, but this was my favourite reaction in awhile. You’re always invested, but somehow you were on another level!😊
Cole Jennett
2024-06-12 23:59:06 +0000 UTCWhat a pleasant surprise! I love this movie! The whole mood throughout is amazing. Watching it always brightens my day. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I suspect I'll be watching along with this reaction many times in the future.
Martin Skouboe
2024-06-11 21:39:19 +0000 UTCAdd me to the list of those who watched this for the first time with Cassie! Great to see Charlie Cox in a starring movie role! What a movie! Thanks, Cassie, for making this one your pick this month!

2024-06-11 17:24:24 +0000 UTCIf you are a fan of Claire Daines, I highly recommend The Rainmaker. It's a top tier Courtroom drama. And perhaps when you are done with ALIAS, consider HOMELAND. Claire Daines plays a CIA agent. It's so good.
Shawn Kildal
2024-06-11 05:25:17 +0000 UTCThe movie you were trying to think of regarding leaving a note was It Happened One Night with Clark Gable.
Shawn Kildal
2024-06-11 05:19:41 +0000 UTCSo very happy to enjoy this with you. It's definitely been a few years, I remember seeing this one in the theater. I think I went in knowing nothing at all and it was a lovely surprise.
Morgan A. Colbert
2024-06-11 03:51:37 +0000 UTCI've wanted you to watch this so badly. I knew it would never win a poll, so views be damned this is one guy that's happy Cassie made the executive decision.
Vault Dweller
2024-06-11 02:24:24 +0000 UTCLoved this movie. Honestly had thought you'd watched it already. I'm glad you did finally watch it though because it's the perfect Cassie movie.
Yaisu
2024-06-11 02:03:21 +0000 UTCI think that was your 1st Michelle Pfeiffer movie you reacted to... you should do more of her please? I recommend I Am Sam - 2001 (Michelle Pfeiffer & Sean Penn)
Darren G.
2024-06-11 00:53:32 +0000 UTCFinally saw this for the first time two weeks ago. Pretty creative. Props to Michelle Pfeiffer for playing ugly there are the end. Respect that.
Chris Thom
2024-06-10 23:04:29 +0000 UTCI love this movie so much. It's one of the best romance movies my wife and I have enjoyed. I am so pleased you enjoyed it so much.
Tom Furze
2024-06-10 22:06:28 +0000 UTCI love this movie, one of my favorites from the 2000s. Sadly, didn't do well at the box office. I kept suggesting it for years and was so happy to see it as a PPotM. Sometimes all you need is a fairy tale where you already kind of know where the story is heading, yet when the movie gives you exactly what you wished for you are fully satisfied. It was great to see Cassie's reaction going through all that, reminded me when I first discovered this underrated gem.
Gábor Árki
2024-06-10 20:49:02 +0000 UTCThe graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess (and just the novel by Neil Gaiman) this movie is based on is one of my favorites. It took me a long time to appreciate this movie, given the drastic changes in mood and tone (and overall plot) from the source material. But I've come to appreciate it as its own unique thing, quite separate from the originals. Sometimes that's just how it goes. Plus, this introduced me to Charlie Cox, a.k.a. Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil. So, good stuff.
Steve Mercier
2024-06-10 20:48:53 +0000 UTCMiss Cassie, when the romantic and happy scenes are in the movie, you shine like the Stars too - everyone's Popcorn Bright Angel.
Clifton Owens
2024-06-10 19:13:49 +0000 UTCGlad that you loved this, it's pretty wonderful. It's one of my wife's favorite films.
Matt Rose
2024-06-10 17:58:59 +0000 UTCA great Robert De Niro movie is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)
Odd Thomas
2024-06-10 15:53:22 +0000 UTCHey Cassie. You may best know Tristan best as Peter's blind lawyer Mat Murdock in Spiderman No Way Home. He is best known for playing that character in the Netflix series Dare Devil.
Stephen Last
2024-06-10 15:23:53 +0000 UTCDon't forget SHOPGIRL - just a great small movie with fantastic work by Claire Danes, Steve Martin (who wrote the screenplay and novella it's based on) and Jason Schwartzman.

2024-06-10 14:56:43 +0000 UTCLate last night, I started a first watch of the movie (along with the reaction) but was too tired to finish. I am about 1 hour into the movie (shortly after De Niro appears) and will complete watching the movie/reaction today. What a dang good cast. Also, seems like an interesting premise. I like that there is humor. Further, I am expecting romantic stuff, which I can like. I realized when I put the movie on last night that I had previouly watched the first 10 minutes or so. I am thinking years ago, I was channel surfing and caught the beginning of the movie but didn't continue. I am a Claire Danes fan. I was addicted to the Showtime TV series "Homeland" (2011) (8 seasons) when it aired. I first saw her in "My So Called Life" (1994) (1 season) (with a young Jared Leto) when that series aired. Charlie Cox played his character well in the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" (2010-2014) that I watched. A completely different type of character than in Stardust.

Cassie

Cassie
2024-06-10 12:38:56 +0000 UTCoh my gosh “whenever i wake up, before i put on my makeup…” now i see him! I knew I recognized the narrator voice too!
Cassie
2024-06-10 12:38:45 +0000 UTCIf nothing else, the score is amazing, but then you've got a great script, great villain in Michelle Pfeiffer and a central couple you actually want to succeed.
Odd Thomas
2024-06-10 12:38:05 +0000 UTChe was amazing!
Cassie
2024-06-10 12:35:57 +0000 UTCi never noticed those moments, so glad you pointed them out!
Cassie
2024-06-10 12:35:44 +0000 UTCUnderrated gem. I remember being blown away when I saw this in the theater.
Rodger Johnson
2024-06-10 10:01:11 +0000 UTCMe too. 100% a Cassie movie imo

2024-06-10 09:40:01 +0000 UTCLots of peeps missed this little gem. I was dragged into a theater by an exgf in '07, and have enjoyed every watch ever since.
MertzRocks
2024-06-10 09:36:53 +0000 UTCI wanted to watch this when it was at my theater but missed out. Also, I think when my family rented it I was busy. Heard good things!
YodatheHobbit
2024-06-10 09:34:17 +0000 UTCFun movie, I’m a big fan of the book and Charles Vess’s beautiful art. I’d never noticed before that when the seven brother’s disappear at the end, they all go white and float upward except Septimus who goes red and floats down into the fire. I liked how in the final fight Una held Tristan back until Septimus was killed protecting Tristan’s claim to the throne.

Robert da Spruce
2024-06-10 07:44:13 +0000 UTCI've seen this movie before, and I like it! Mostly for the sword fighting lol! This has quite the ensemble cast of actors, very underrated fantasy movie! I'll watch your reaction to it another time, it's kinda late for me right now, work kicked my butt today! I'll give it a watch probably tomorrow night! Glad to hear you liked it, have a happy Monday😁😉✌🥰🌹

2024-06-10 07:23:32 +0000 UTCSo my fiance at the time and I had just got back from Scotland and she had rented this with her girlfriends. Now I fell asleep like 55 minutes to an 75 in. Dang jet lagg. Now I love Claire Danes, she was fantastic in Brokendown Palace (1999) with Kate Beckinsale My So Called Life (1994-1996) a TV show also loved Homeland (2011-2020) She was absolutely the best in Romeo and Juliet opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. (1996) My fiance said that this was not my type of ROMCOM. She was partially right it was but it was fun and definitely magical. I ended up watching her copy of it. If Claire Danes wasn't in it I probably wouldn't have liked it. The romance wasn't as good as Romeo and Juliet (1996). However unable to sleep I watched the final 50 minutes with you. Well I remembered the ending so in ended being 40 minutes. I still did like it. Great reaction Cass, it was magical.

2024-06-10 07:23:01 +0000 UTCHadn't seen this this it was in cinemas and enjoyed it the first time seeing it. It has a big cast of British actors that had acclaim then, and many that have achieved it after this film. Mainly the entire cast outside of Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, and Michelle Pfeiffer, with many having voices with such gravitas, Ian McKellan ("narrator"), Peter O'Toole (the king) and Mark Strong ("Septimus"). I suspect Cassie has seen many of these folks before, as I was trying to figure how I new them I saw that there are many movies that are in her wheelhouse such as "Notting Hill", "Bridget Jones' Diary", and "My Best Friend's Wedding". I am surprised that there was no recognition of Rupert Everett ("Secundus") who was a big part of "My Best Friend's Wedding" Although he was only really recognisable for a short time in this movie, but to fair it has probably been while since "My Best Friend's Wedding" was viewed. Marv films is Matthew Vaughn's production company. I had to look it up to see whether it was based around his initials, but couldn't really confirm anything that confirmed that. But it was splintered out of a shared production company (SKA films) with Guy Ritchie, and was the company where they made "Lock, stock, and two smoking barrells" together, which explains some of the cast in "Stardust", Jason Flemyng ("Primus") and Dexter Fletcher (the pirate first mate) were both main characters in "Lock, stock". It was a bit odd the see "Superman" (Henry Cavill) bullying "Daredevil" (Charlie Cox) for the affections of "The Baroness" from "GI Joe: Rise of Cobra" (Sienna Miller). Mark Strong ("Septimus") is always solid when he is in a movie and makes for great villains. Just found out that "Miss Pettigrew lives for a day" has never been seen by the PiB crew, which is something that has a good cast and would be something they would likely enjoy.

Jayson Phillips
2024-06-10 06:15:42 +0000 UTCDid you notice that the first mate in the Lightning ship is one of the sergeants from Band of Brothere? And Septimus is mark atrong. He was in the Kingsmen, the Imitation Game, Cruella, 1917. He’s a great actor.
Mary Therese Ryan Ceballos
2024-06-10 06:12:50 +0000 UTCA great reaction to a pure Cassie movie. A wonderful film narrated by Gandalf. It was whimsical and charming with an amazing cast, I hope you did an IMDB deep dive afterward. Michelle Pfeiffer was an awesome villain and De Niro was great.
Michael West
2024-06-10 05:24:34 +0000 UTCIf you enjoyed the film you should get your book club to read the graphic novel. Have you fine folks introduced any graphic novels into the club yet?

2024-06-10 03:55:23 +0000 UTCThis will be the first time I see this movie Cassie. I have no idea what its about or who’s in it. But based on your description in your post, it sounds like a fun ride. Now I have to find what streaming service is offering it so I can hop on.
