Maybe you've heard that I like Michelle Pfeiffer? a little bit, yeah.
2007 will hopefully usher in a new productive Pfeifferian era. Three films are due, which is quite a lot considering her face hasn't graced the screen since her wicked genius spin in 2002's White Oleander (my review). Release dates keep shifting but it looks like Stardust, a Princess Bride-ish adaptation of Neil Gaiman's hugely entertaining novel, will be the second to arrive (after the romcom I Could Never Be Your Woman with Paul Rudd). Pfeiffer plays a very evil blood loving witch in Stardust.
Some early test screening reviews (beware of spoilers -unless you've read the book. Than just read away)
- #1 This moviegoers says that Michelle “chews scenery throughout most of the film” and deems her “over-the-top”
- #2 Another thinks she is "phenomenal" and compares the performance's power to her actorly swagger as Catwoman in Batman Returns.
