Last Tuesday was the 25th anniversary of the theatrical openings of The Princess Bride, and this coming Tuesday sees the release of a 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray of the movie, which features a new two-part retrospective documentary. Also on Tuesday, a new print of the fantasy adventure classic will screen during the New York Film Festival, complete with a reunion of actors Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal and Carol Kane and director Rob Reiner (no Fred Savage? Inconceivable!) for a post-film conversation. So, we’ve got a new Scenes We Love this week to honor the beloved comedic romance (don’t call it a rom-com), and maybe this sounds like an impossible task. After all, if you love one scene from The Princess Bride, you love them all. We could just say, we love that 100-minute-long scene in which a stable boy-turned-pirate fights a giant, a genius and a swordsman in order to rescue a princess from kidnappers and then stop her from marrying an evil prince, all as it is told by an old man to his grandson. Then just embed the film in its entirety (if it were available this way). But we can isolate a handful of favorites — that’s six scenes, if we go by Count Rugen’s hand — and if there are any others you wish to bring up, we invite you to do so.

Okay, so admittedly, Hollywood movies have the ability/inclination to skew our visions of different ethnic groups. For years after seeing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I was convinced that all Germans swam in giant rivers of cocoa. After living here, I can confirm that it’s not true at all. Giant rivers of Pilsner are a different story. However, a group that’s definitely been given the cartoon treatment is African men. These young gentlemen have made a very funny video to challenge the stereotype that Hollywood has created:

Kees van Dijkhuizen has done it again. I’ve written up a few of his videos on the site in the past, mainly his tributes to directors with their own unique style. But not until now have I been able to share one of his wonderful end of the year film tributes, which he’s done for the past three years. Videos such as this gives me goosebumps. They serve as reminders of how good or bad a year in the film has been. This has been one of the great years, and this tribute confirms it for me. There’s been a lot of these sorts of compilation videos floating around the web recently, but I think Dijkhuizen has delivered the best one, check it out after the break.

With so many 3D movies flooding into the theaters this year, the studios are scrambling to get their own 3D flicks noticed. The folks behind Disney/Pixar’s new animated masterpiece Up have found a cool and unique way to promote their upcoming film.

Intrepid FSR reader Jeff P. sent over a few cool new featurettes for Watchmen this afternoon. And since I’m feeling generous, I thought I might throw them up on the site for all to see.

Baring any further developments in the ‘Christian Bale Strikes Back’ situation, this should be our last post about it. But as you’d expect, we’ve got an assortment of links to share with you.

Last year, a young girl committed suicide after being bullied online. What better way to honor her memory than by making a generic thriller based off the event?

Last night Entertainment Tonight aired a 10-second clip from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra commercial that will run this weekend during the Superbowl, and of course it has made its way online.

For some reason, this year’s Superbowl commercials — at least the movie related variety — all seem to be showing up on the web prior to Sunday’s big game. If you ask me, it just doesn’t seem right. Either way, this new Race to Witch Mountain clip isn’t half bad…

Earlier this evening the folks over on G4′s Attack of the Show (a personal favorite of yours truly) profiled three of the must read “movie blogs” on the web today. And as you have come to expect, we were not among the three featured sites.

The lovely folks over at Focus Features are really excited about their film Milk being nominated for 8 Academy Awards. Who wouldn’t be, right? And to celebrate all of their nominations, including Sean Penn’s Best Actor nod and one for Best Picture, they have put together two brand new featurettes.

Paul McGuigan’s new film, Push, is one big question mark. The premise, about a group of individuals with special powers being hunted by government forces, has fantastic promise.
