Double bill of film fantasies. 'Stardust' (2007) is an adventure
based on the bestselling graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles
Vess. When a young man, Tristan (Charlie Cox), tries to win the
heart of his beautiful but cold object of his desire Victoria
(Sienna Miller) by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star, his
journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the
walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which
has transformed into a striking girl called Yvaine (Claire Danes).
However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. A king
(Peter O'Toole)'s four sons - not to mention the ghosts of their
three dead brothers - all need the star as they vie for the throne.
Tristan must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle
Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristan
battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named
Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy
the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must
now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the
meaning of true love. Neil Jordan directs the Irish drama 'Ondine'
(2009). Syracuse (Colin Farrell) is a poor fisherman whose life is
changed forever when he fishes a beautiful live woman (Alicja
Bachleda) out of the sea. His young daughter, Annie (Alison Barry),
is convinced that the mysterious beauty must be a mermaid. Theories
abound about the girl's origins as she transforms the lives of
Syracuse, Annie and the local townsfolk. Stephen Rea and Dervla
Kirwan co-star.

Family animation about the characters created by Tove Jansson. When
the tranquility of Moominvalley is interrupted by pesky pirates,
the family set sail on their own adventure to the French Riviera.
After battling ferocious storms and tired from the long journey,
the family are at first fascinated by the high society they
encounter at their destination. Moominpappa (Nathaniel Parker)
loves the lifestyle so much he adopts the name de Moomin to fit in
better with his new friends, securing entry to the best hotel in
the process, while Snorkmaiden (Stephanie Winiecki) is infatuated
with a rich bachelor who dazzles her with his wealth. But it
appears not all the family are as taken with the outlandish ways of
the Riviera when Moominmamma (Tracy Ann Oberman) retreats to the
shelter and calm of the boat and waits for the family to be
reunited.
Real-estate agent Jim Evers
(Eddie Murphy) is given the task of shifting Gracey Manor, a
delapidated old house in New Orleans, and decides to visit it with
his family.
When they arrive, however, they come face-to-face with
999 grim, grinning ghosts who are not too keen on sharing their
space with mortals.
With the help of supernatural psychic Madame
Leota (Jennifer Tilly), the family must battle to break the
mansion's curse before the clock strikes 13.
Nathaniel Parker Willis (1806-67) came from a publishing family and
began his writing career with contributions to magazines. He also
wrote poetry and plays but is best remembered as a travel writer.
In this two-volume work of 1840, his contribution (described on the
title page as 'the literary department') was to provide a narrative
for prints from the engravings of William Henry Bartlett (1809-54),
the famous British landscape artist, who followed already
established tourist routes in the United States to make his
drawings. Each of Bartlett's 119 engravings is accompanied by a
short essay by Willis, who states in the preface that it is his
intention to bring to the reader at home 'at small cost' the
sensations of travel which 'those whose lot is domestic and
retired' would never be in a position to experience for themselves.
This extremely popular work remained in print for thirty years.
