MMmmmm!!! The Princess Bride

I was introduced to this movie in my sixth grade science class, and I will always be thankful to that teacher for showing it to me. This is one of my feel good movies that I could watch again and again and it never gets old or boring. I have always thought of this as a goofy-fairy tale, and I stand by that. That's what makes it so good! I've always had the question in the back of my mind "why don't people in movies recognize the person behind the eyes only mask?" In this movie, I don't care. It's supposed to be silly, and I love that about it! I didn't know that Princess Buttercup is Jenny in Forrest Gump, so I supposed I learned something new. I don't think I actually knew Robin Write (Penn) was an actress...I just always associated her with Sean Penn. I know this has nothing to do with my movie review...sorry. I don't know what else to say about this other than it always make me think of flowers, butterflies, bunnies, and other happy thoughts. YAY:-)

Better Late Than Never...High Fidelity

Let me preface what I'm about to say with the blanket statement I enjoyed this movie. That being said, is it sad that my favorite character was that played by Joan Cusack? I think this is just because she always intrigues me, her wit and comedic timing is typically impeccable. Just so we're clear, I don't know anything about anything about the movie business, nor do I know how to criticize a movie...I've made that very clear. If what I say sounds wrong, it probably is. Anyhow, I felt that this movie was filled with a very well known cast, and I quite enjoyed seeing the different parts they played. Catherine Zeta-Jones was a beautiful Charlie (I don't think she ages at all by the way). Even though Jack Black typically plays the goof, this to me was a different type of goof that I quite enjoyed. Was this before he was really famous? I don't remember. Of course, I thought John Cusack did an amazing job in his role. I'd watch this movie again, I think there are some things that I didn't pick up on the first time around that would make for a better movie experience.
