“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”
Oh, wait. You don’t have six fingers on your right hand? Sorry, our mistake.
A classic tale of true love and high adventure, The Princess Bride invaded theatres on October 9, 1987 and has been romancing audiences ever since. After all, true love is the greatest thing in the world! Well, except for a nice Mlt.

Wish I Was Here, Boyhood and Guardians Of The Galaxy take a mixtape approach to their soundtracks. Ivan looks at what makes them so great...
"You gotta hear this one song. It'll change your life, I swear," a girl (Sam) in a doctor's waiting room once said to a boy (Andrew) who looked a lot like Zach Braff. Then, she placed a pair of headphones over his ears and played him The Shins.
Garden State's soundtrack became a must-have for all fans in 2004 thanks to its effective use - and curation - of indie artists, acoustic ditties and mild electronica. It was an album that showed a jukebox soundtrack (traditionally the territory of Tarantino) could do something different, whether that was introducing people to obscure bands they hadn't heard of or connecting you with others who also liked the movie's music.
10 years later, filmmakers are still chasing the same thing: the ultimate mixtape.

Fox has some abandonment issues.
The network has inked a first-look deal for "Living With Abandon," an independently produced single-camera comedy pilot.
Written by Richie Keen and Heath Corson ("Hooked") and directed by Keen, "Abandon" stars Todd Grinnell, Ed Quinn, Melissa Peterman, Rachel Specter and 14-year-old Nick Dodani as the members of an abandonment support group who suffer a blow when their therapist commits suicide. Left to fend for themselves, the members band together to solve each other's issues.
"This is a show about the family that we all chose in life," Keen said. "This is a group of people who wouldn't normally know each other but chose to be each other's family."
Keen is executive producing "Abandon," with Michael Binkow and Joe Revello serving as co-exec producers and Corson as supervising producer.
Keen and Corson originally took the idea for "Abandon" to Fox 21, where they had a script deal...

NEW YORK -- After the successful run of their short film Hooked at the HBO-organized U.S. Comedy Arts Festival last month in Aspen, director-writer-actor Richie Keen and writing partner Heath Corson have signed a TV script deal with 20th Century Fox TV's Fox 21 division for a half-hour comedy project. If the project goes to pilot, Keen is set to direct and also might co-star. The Fox 21 show will not be based on Hooked. While the two sides are looking at several ideas, they are focusing on a single-camera show idea titled Living With Abandon. The show idea revolves around an abandonment therapy group whose six very different misfit members find themselves in trouble when their therapist abandons them by killing himself. The members band together and vow to solve each other's issues one by one.
