Every film we watch reviewed in 255 characters… or fewer!
The Princess Bride (1987, dir. Rob Reiner)
A grandfather reads a fairy story of true love to his ill grandson. Excellent distillation of the William Goldman novel, with the right balance of thrills, jokes, well-sketched characters, and a cast that knows exactly the movie they’re in. Lots of fun throughout.
Writes. Latest: 2019: East of England - a noir thriller.
