The Princess Bride

So I just wrote a brief classic movie review for the Broadside about "The Princess Bride."

I didn't want to do just a straight up, "This was a good movie because" kind of review. That gets boring.

Allie helped be draft a bunch of ideas, but everything was too lofty.

Especially for a 500 or so word story.

Somehow, I came up with the brilliant idea of Andre the Giant.


Now I know what you're think, "Andre the Giant? Really?"

Think about it. He was one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time and a moderately successful actor.

Within the context of "The Princess Bride", Andre the Giant was the actual heart and kindness of the movie. Granted, the movie is all about true love, but that stuff gets overplayed.

Make sure to check out next week's issue of the Broadside and you'll see just what I mean.
