"The Lord of the Rings" is one of the great classics of English literature, written by J.R.R. Tolkien. It took Hollywood a while to give the world its vision of the work, but when it did so, it was done in grand style. Directed by Peter Jackson, the film has an all-star cast (including Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen...) and incredible special effects created by Weta. A universal story that has its spirit present in the feature-length version.
Epic movie directed by Ridley Scott, that puts us right in the height of the Roman Empire in a story full of treachery, action, and blood. If you have ever seen it, rewatch now with a special eye for the grand soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer.
Who would have thought that a random story read by a grandfather to his grandson could become one of the most beloved films of generations? This is the feat achieved by the acclaimed 'The Princess Bride', a delightful classic movie in the style of the afternoon session. With an unstable journey, full of ups and downs, the Princess (Robin Wright) goes through real hardships after being abandoned by her beloved and falling into the hands of a despot. There are clumsy pirates, ninjas climbing mountains, giants... It's a story of fantasy and love, out of the ordinary, and it has the power to awaken the imagination of each one. Even more so when we that it all comes from a grandfather working his creativity to entertain his grandson, not very fond of books, on any given night. To watch and rewatch.
