Sun, 3 Nov 2002 19:26:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author redwolfoz - Firstly, I thought this a fitting movie for the celebration of Granniemose 80th, being as it's the tale of the struggle for identity of a girl from a long line of strong-willed women. Secondly, a big thank you to Vormancian for adding this movie.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author redwolfoz - I guess most of us have seen the film version of The Princess Bride, it is a timeless classic and a surprisingly good adaptation of the book. The casting is superb and reading the book only underlines this point, as I found it difficult to see the...
