1)It's hard to review as the whole thing is pure genius. And it's good no matter what age you are. And it's timeless. And beautiful. And hilarious. And many other nice adjectives besides.
2)It's awesome
3)10/10 and I would watch it a thousand times over- IN A ROW if necessary.
4)The best scene by far is when Westley does the whole battle of wits things. It's just so ridiculously stupid but also astonishingly clever and it's just so happy-making.
5)Fezzig (if that's how you spell it) simply because the casting was perfect and he's just so wonderful and loveable but also quit terrifying at the same time.
6)The six-fingered man. But not really because he's a horrible character, more because he killed Inigo's father.
7)Well I've said my favourite scene but I also really like the one near the end with the King... I don't remember what he says but he's just so cute!
8)Ummm... I really love all of them. Every single one. It is a masterpiece.

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my...

British TV Period Dramas

Image
Before I started watching (and getting hooked on) Spanish Telenovelas , Korean Dramas , TW-Dramas , and Filipino TV Dramas , I loved watching British TV Period Dramas and I still do. I've seen a lot. Though I have not been watching a lot lately, but I still follow and watch at least a few of them whenever I can. Here are 20 British Period TV Dramas that I've seen and compiled here...

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Image
Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

In Comparison: Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice) vs. Winona Ryder (Little Women)

Image
Ever thought about Keira Knightle y and Winona Ryder as the same person (that you mistake them in their movies?) or looking eerie similar at least look-wise? I'm sure some of you have seen some of their many pictures on magazines and movies that you can't help but noticed they look so similar (we can even add Natalie Portman here, but these two look far more similar, lol). If so, you'll see or rather noticed a lot of similarities between these two beautiful and talented actresses. Take for instance, Keira as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Winona Ryder as Josephine March in Little Women, both period movies and both earned them Oscar Nominations for Best actress (in their early 20s too). Here's a comparison between them, I first posted this a while back at the P&P forum (as I own both movies on DVD), I found some very interesting similarities not only with actresses Keira Knightley and Winona Rider eerie physical resemblance (their poses...

Film Review: PRECIOUS: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire.

Image
I saw Precious this weekend, on its 3rd weekend and expansion of theaters (only 629 and has so far grossed to almost $15M in its 15 days this week...very impressive considering it only played limited on its opening weekend debut, much like the small expansion, and its small widest release of 629 theater locations) nationwide as it finally was showing in my local theaters. I've been waiting and looking forward to seeing this film since I heard this movie was being filmed and Mariah Carey (my favorite singer) was cast in a small role as Mrs. Weiss . Also, I've read the novel "Push" by Sapphire this movie was based from. Like Oscar's Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire , Precious (the lil' Independent film) has been getting tons of standing O's and rave reviews as well as won several Audience Awards in various film festivals such as Sundance, Toronto, and Chicago Film festivals to name a few. So, I've been following this film and got so excit...
