  • The Princess Bride (1987)

    I saw the movie The Princess Bride at the Ward Theater Wednesday night (5/14/14) during their monthly Hana Hou showings.

    While I have seen this movie many times on cable (and I suspect that I might have it in my DVD collection) I have for one or reason or another missed this movie when it played at the theater.

    Kind of a charming movie, what made it work is the grandfather reading the book to the grandson, with some breaks in between. I really don't know if some of the satire parts of the movie (like don't get involved in a land war in Asia) was in the actual novel or was it from the grandfather adding some spice to the narration.

    Also liked the scene with Miracle Max.
