THE PRINCESS BRIDE

The PRINCESS BRIDE came out in 1987. I was 12! What a perfect age. I still know every line from this movie. I still remember seeing it in the theater. The beginning was not what I expected! It was modern day with Fred Savage. I was there to see an old fashioned Princess movie. That came quickly after.
This kiss blew them all away. The Princess seems a little stuck up and demanding at first, but you grow to love her. Westley is beautiful from the first moment you see him.


Look at these guys! You never know what is in store in this movie. All sorts of unexpected things happen in this film. Screeching Eels, the fire swamp, iocaine powder... inconceivable!!!

It was hard to believe this was Billy Crystal!! Miracle Max and his hatred for Humperdink!! "Have fun storming the castle!" I owned the VHS, and I now own the DVD. I even had the soundtrack on casette tape. The song at the closing credits is my favorite.
There is romance, action, adventure, and comedy. It has it all. I highly recommend it and declare it's one of my all time favorites.
5 out of 5!
Very conceivable.

I AM LEGEND

This movie came out in 2007. The previews looked Awesome. Taylor and I couldn't wait to go. While I liked it, it did feel like a 28 DAYS LATER rip off. But who hasn't ripped that movie off lately? It's such a great story. There's some sort of outbreak and most of mankind becomes Zombies.
While I'm not a dog fan, Will Smith's feelings towards his dog "Sam"antha almost had me in tears. I am an easy crier when it comes to movies. I recorded this movie on the DVR and Taylor and I watched it this afternoon in HD. Woo hoo!! I am impressed with Will Smith's performance in this one and enjoyed it both times I saw it!

3 out of 5.

Black Swan

Kristin - So I knew I didn't want to see this film from the preview, but I had to see what all the fuss was about. It was interesting, but I would not recommend it. Natalie Portman's character had this anguished look on her face the entire film. I was impressed by her dancing, and wondered how good she really was compared to ballet professionals. This film almost has an indy (independant film) feel, but not quite. The basic premise is that Nina is working hard to have the role of the "Black Swan" in the ballet company, while having some hallucinations on the way. She meets Mila's character who seems to want to befriend her.
Natalie Portman is looking Hot here.

I didn't realize Mila was in this movie. I'm sure you've heard there is about 1 minute of girl on girl in this film. That was all it took for Taylor to forget the other two hours and proclaim it the "BEST MOVIE EVER". I guess seeing some porn in a regular theater deems it as "best movie" for him. What can I say? He's all man.
2 out of 5 stars for me.
