"Stardust"
(Rated PG-13 for some fantasy
violence and risqué humor)
While sharing a romantic evening, the young couple sees a falling star. In order to prove his love, young Tristan swears to bring the fallen star back for his girlfriend. However, there is a catch. The star has fallen, not in England were Tristan lives, but it the magical kingdom of Stormhold where the fallen star becomes a beautiful girl (Claire Daines). So Tristan crosses over through the wall and begins his quest in this unfamiliar world. As it turns out, Tristan is not the only one looking for the star. An evil witch, Larnia (Michelle Pheiffer), needs the star to regain her youth and beauty and will stop at nothing to get it. Fortunately, Tristan is not alone; there are many people who want to help him protect the star. In the tradition of the Princess Bride, Stardust is an actionpacked, humor-filled epic adventure that everyone in the family will enjoy.

"Once"
(Rated R for language)
"Once" is a lovely and endearing indie musical that is set in Ireland. It's the story of two working musicians, one who plays guitar and the other piano, but unfortunately they're not actually making a living at it. During the film we never know their names but we watch as they are drawn to each other, let each other in on a bit of their pasts, and over the next few days how they find personal harmony through their musical courtship.
