The Latest in Theaters: Twinkle, Twinkle

You know the summer movie season is dying down when the week's new offerings are a PG-13 werewolf movie (Skinwalkers) and two sequels no one in their right mind asked for (Rush Hour 3, Daddy Day Care). (How bad could a movie be if even Eddie Murphy turned down a paycheck?)

Truly, the only new film remotely interesting is Stardust, based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and directed by Matthew Vaughn. The fantasy/romance (which looks all Princess Bridey, see poster) stars Claire Daines as a "fallen star" (an actual star from space, not like, say, Lindsay Lohan), Michelle Pfeiffer as a bitchy witch and Robert De Niro as a pirate who likes to wear tutus.

You read that right: Travis Bickle in a tutu. You gotta problem with that?

UPDATE: Rush Hour 3 director Brett Ratner proves just how big a tool he is in this recent interview with The Advocate.
