Stardust -- Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer. Rated PG-13.
The movie: A teenager (Cox) finds love and becomes a man as he protects a fallen star (Danes) from an evil witch (Pfeiffer) and power hungry prince (Mark Strong). The combination of top-notch visual effects and classic fairy tale storytelling make the film an experience that is both enchanting and uplifting. It was one of the best movies of 2007, so definitely Buy It.
Solitary Man -- Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito. Rated R.
The movie: Down-on-his-luck car salesman Ben (Douglas) tries to put his life back together by sleeping around and talking his way back into business. It’s interesting to watch Ben freefall and Douglas plays him well, but you never feel sorry for Ben because he doesn’t do much to help himself. And the tone switches from dark comedy to serious too often, leaving an imbalance. Rent It.
