Stardust

Adapted from Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name, Stardust is about a young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) who, in an effort to woo a pretty local girl (Sienna Miller) and prove his love, agrees to quest to bring her back a fallen star. Much to his surprise, when he travels past the mysterious wall at the edge of his village, everything is different. He discovers that the fallen star is actually a beautiful woman named Yvaine (Claire Danes) who was unhappily snagged out of the sky by a necklace, which she is now wearing. The story for this film is completely complicated and I will only confuse you and myself if I even attempt to tell you more. Suffice it to say there is a witch (Michelle Pfeiffer), a homosexual, cross-dressing lightning pirate (Robert De Niro), and a naughty merchant (Ricky Gervais). And in the end there is much happiness! I love this movie and it's one of the few that both my husband and I think is really great. So if the cross-dressing De Niro doesn't make you want to watch it, maybe the fact that it's not just a chick flick will. Go get it and watch!!

A menu for this particular movie was somewhat perplexing. It has a British feel. It has a Renaissance Festival feel. And Neil Gaiman wrote it so I took some inspiration from his interview with Food Porn. So, with all those inspirations, I give you:
