Last night I had an amazing opportunity to shoot out to Anaheim and catch a big screen showing of the 1987 classic film “The Princess Bride”. It’s not often that you get the chance to catch some of these great older films in a theater anymore, but there is one place right beside Disney Land that does these once in a while.

We got there about 20 minutes early and the place was already PACKED. I honestly thought there might be a chance it would be mostly empty… seems the glory of “The Princess Bride” is alive and well.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve watched the movie, and I never saw it when it was in the theaters. The print they used to screen it was an ORINGINAL 1987 print. It was glorious!

Ok… to “The Princess Bride”. This movie is 5 shades of fantastic. So beautiful. So simple. So charming. Just a wonderful, innocent and magical story that reminds us here in 2009 that a movie doesn’t have to be “dark” to be cool, or “violent” to be exciting (I forgot how great the sword fight between Westly and Inigo was).

*sniff* I miss Andre The Giant

This isn’t a full on review of the movie, I was just giddy seeing it on the big screen for the first time and wanted to gush a bit about how great the movie is. That is all. Have fun storming the castle.
