Movie review of "The Princess Bride"

                      I'm going to write a review about a movie called "the Princess Bride". The Princess Bride is a movie that was made in 1987 by Rob Reiner. The filming location was Ireland, United Kingdom. The genre of the movie is romantic fantasy.


There are many characters including Buttercup, Westley, Prince Humperdink., etc. Also, there are lots of settings, too. Like, the fire swamp, the cliff of insanity, quicksand,  forest of thieves, etc.
The story starts with a grandpa telling his grandson a story,"The Princess Bride". First Westley and Buttercup falls in love. But one day, Westley disapears and never returns back. So, Butttercup decides not to love ever again. After a few years later, Buttercup gets kidnapped by 3 men(forgot thir names^^;;) but Westley comes to help Buttercup from many hazards and plans to live together forever. Mean while, Prince Humperdink envies westley and tries his best to kill him but fails after a man named Miracle Max saves westley. At the end, Westley and Buttercup mees again and lives happily ever after.


I didn't really enjoy this movie because I mostly don't like fantasies. But I think the stories are well- organized and are smooth. I loved how the actors expressed their emotional feelings in a kind of exaggerated way. Plus the movie gave me a good moral; true love waits forever. I'd like to recommend this movie to those who are hurt because of love.

My own 30-day challenge

            Ms. Angela showed our classmates a interesting video clip. It was about a man named Matt Cutts and he wanted some changes in his everyday life. So, he decided to set goals and try to achieve them. As a result, he wrote novels, rode bikes to work, and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. So, I decided to set my own goals and achieve them through the next 30 days in GLPS.


My first goal is losing weight. I'm a bit chubby(a bit) so I'd like to start a diet. To lose weight, I thought of eating less in meals. Or eating less meat and eating more vegetables. I'm also planning to take a walk 3 days a week after each meal.


My second goal is reading more books. To achieve that goal, I'm going to borrow 3 books a week from the library and read them during self study periods. Plus, I'm going to write a book report each week and post them in my blog.


And finally, my last goal is learning pop songs. For that, I'm planning to learn one  pop song each week and memorize it. And in the last week, I'm going to write a song myself.


Even though these goals are very tough and hard, I'm going to try my best on the goals and make every day memorable. Plus, I want to have a successful effect on me.
