” Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. “
There is nothing more fun (or romantic) than a Tenacious Eats ‘Movies For Foodies’ Film Series event! This time it’s the beloved 1987 cult classicTHE PRINCESS BRIDE. It’s February 14th (that’s Valentine’s Day Guys!) from 6:30 to 10pm at The Mahler Ballroom (4915 Washington Blvd, St. Louis). Ticket information can be found HERE. A Facebook invite for the event can be found HERE
Doors open at 6:30PM with a special movie themed Selfie Station, cash bar and multiple rounds of film and music trivia for tons of prizes and tickets to future Tenacious Eats Shows!
*Film begins at 7:00PM along with special Teats Treats! No dress code. Costumes always encouraged and rewarded!
*Film will be paused to introduce each course.
*Selfie Station!
*Trivia
$100.00 per person. $125.00 per person day of event. Seating is limited and space cannot be guaranteed unless purchased in advance.
This menu is like a fairy tale!
First Course “As You Wish” Coq au Vin mini pies, Amish chicken, turnip, riesling, Herbs de Provence, Marcoot Alpine cheese, dates, apples, whipped parsnip top and a Sweet Knocker cider reduction.
Second Course “My Name is Inigo Montoya Prepare to Die!” Housemade chorizo, crawfish, hominy, jamon, pomodoro and chickpea stew. Served with 12 month Manchego cheese and bittersweet chocolate sauce.
Third Course “Never go in Against a Sicilian When Death is on the Line!” Farmer’s plate of beet pickled egg, cheese, figs, olives and Salam Bedu Sicilian sausage.
Fourth Course “Fezzik’s Restorative Lamb” Baby New Zealand lamb chop, mushroom bread pudding, potato parisienne, parsley, English peas, carrot, served with a lamb and fig glace.
Fifth Course “To Blave! Max’s Miracle Pill” Dark chocolate coated magic. (Miracle Max’s top secret cure).
Sixth Course “Wuv, Twue Wuv…” Chiffon wedding cake, French buttercream, layers of passion fruit and orange and white chocolate creme anglaise.
One of the best qualities of THE PRINCESS BRIDE is that it simultaneously manages to be both fairytale and fairytale parody. It lampoons the whole world of fairytale and fantasy while, at the same time, celebrating it. Most of the characters within play it for laughs other than the title character (who is, after all, a fairytale princess and not a female Groucho Marx) and Mandy Patinkin’s Spanish revenge-bent swordsman.
The cast, largely composed of lesser-known talents (at the time) and notably absent the big megastars that were then dominating the box office, is superb. The romantic leads were basically unknowns; the beautiful and talented (nice English accent!) Robin Wright and the suave and handsome Cary Elwes. Wally Shawn is also perfectly cast as the supremely intelligent (or so he thinks) Vizzini. Andre the Giant plays the role of giant that was (literally) made for him to play — he does a good job and is very appealing as the archetypal gentle giant. Chris Sarandon gets to go way over the top to great effect as Prince Humperinck (apologies to Englebert, but did they choose the name just ‘cos it’s inherently funny?) and Christopher Guest shows off both another flawless British accent and the ability to quite effectively and quietly capture the feel of your basic model psychopathic sadist. Peter Cook even gets to make an appearance as a clergyman with a speech impediment. Billy Crystal is great and his ad-libs add to the film. Carol Kane is also effective — both of them in extreme make-up — as his wife. Back in the present day reality, Peter Falk is terrific as the grandfather who’s patiently reading the tale to his grandson, well played by young Fred Savage.
I have yet to meet someone who has seen THE PRINCESS BRIDE and didn’t love it
Tenacious Eats is… Unexpected! Visceral! Titillating! Brought to you in High Definition Taste-O-Vision! (Special glasses, not required)
By integrating film and food, Movies for Foodies creates an original experience, a feast for the senses, an event that brings food and film, chefs and diners together.
Tenacious Eats only works with locally produced food procured by them and hard-to-find ingredients, imported from places that specialize in them. With each new film, we write a new menu specific to its story. Sometimes the menu is literal and sometimes it is inspired interpretation. In all cases, each dining experience is different because each film is different.
Denzel Washington received his first Academy Award – as Best Supporting Actor – for his intense and compassionate performance as Pvt. Trip, a former slave who volunteers to be part of the 54th Massachusetts, a Union regiment comprised of black soldiers. Director Edward Zwick’s visually stunning, meticulously crafted epic stars Matthew Broderick as Col. Robert Gould Shaw, who assumes command of the regiment – which by law could only be led by a white man. Starring Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, Andre Braugher and Jihmi Kennedy (from a screenplay by Kevin Jarre), Glory remains one of the most intelligent and gripping movies ever made about the American Civil War, and is a testament to enormous courage and bravery.
This cinematic presentation of Glory commemorates the film’s 30th anniversary – and also the 156th anniversary of the Second Battle Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863, which is the awesome and fearful backdrop for the film’s climax. TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz will present special pre- and post-film commentary that offer even more depth into the screenings of a film that The New York Times praised for its “almost overwhelming emotional impact.”
This 30th anniversary presentation of Glory marks the film’s first nationwide re-release since it debuted in 1989 and offers movie lovers an opportunity to rediscover what film critic Leonard Maltin called, “One of the finest historical dramas ever made.”

The screening will include a special, newly created introduction by TCM Primetime host Ben Mankiewicz and the film’s acclaimed director, Rob Reiner, who will discuss ThePrincessBride and its legacy. Check out this new 30th anniversary trailer:
Swept up in the passions of their rekindled true love, Westley (Cary Elwes) and Buttercup (Robin Wright) encounter great obstacles — giants, fire swamps, rodents of unusual size — to be together in an epic tale that grandfather (Peter Falk) reads to grandson (Fred Savage). The greatest obstacle of all: despicable Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), set on making Buttercup his wife to wage war on his enemies. The lovers seek help from Fezzik (André the Giant), a gentle giant with a knack for rhyming, and Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), a skilled swordsman dedicated to the revenge business. In this hilariously epic adventure, the lengths Westley and Buttercup must go for true love are indeed “inconceivable” … and unforgettable.

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”
Why is this such a classic line in the minds of many? I don’t know, really. But I do know that the way that Mandy Patinkin delivers it in this film has ‘classic line’ written all over it!
THE PRINCESS BRIDE screens this Friday and Saturday nights (July 28th and 29th) at midnight at the Tivoli Theater as part of their ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ Midnight series.
Believe it or don’t, but I just saw THE PRINCESS BRIDE for the first time in 2014 at a Tenacious Eats‘Movies for Foodies’ event. I’d heard great things about it for decades so I’m not sure why I’ve spent so many years avoiding it. Perhaps because I was 25 when it was made in 1987 and really, what self-respecting dude would watch a movie called THE PRINCESS BRIDE with his buddies (I must not have had a girlfriend at the time)?
One of the best qualities of THE PRINCESS BRIDE is that it simultaneously manages to be both fairytale and fairytale parody. It lampoons the whole world of fairytale and fantasy while, at the same time, celebrating it.

I have yet to meet someone who has seen THE PRINCESS BRIDE and didn’t love it which makes my 30 year viewing gap that much more inexcusable. I hadn’t seen it but now I have and if you haven’t, you’ll have the opportunity this weekend when THE PRINCESS BRIDE plays at the Tivoli Friday and Saturday as part of the Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight film series (July 28th and 29th).

The second eerie poster for the 10th anniversary event of the legendary horror film, SAW, was revealed yesterday. This is the second of five limited-edition collectable posters that will be released weekly, as we countdown the return of this epic film.

Head to a theater near you for the early showing of SAW at 10pm on Thursday, October 30th.
With a dead body lying between them, two men wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who’s been nicknamed “Jigsaw”. The men must follow various rules and objectives if they wish to survive and win the deadly game set for them.
Directed by James Wan (THE CONJURING, upcoming FAST & FURIOUS 7) and written by Leigh Whannell, from a story by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, SAW stars Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Michael Emerson, Ken Leung, Tobin Bell and Leigh Whannell .
Re-Opening on October 30, 2014, the horror film is rated R for strong grisly violence and language.

3K Pictures announces today that director Sam Kadi’s debut drama THE CITIZEN will have its North American Premiere at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana on Monday, October 22nd at the AMC Castleton Square 14 theater at 7:15pm. The film was produced by Kadi, Chris Wyatt (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE) and Alan Noel Vega, with Ameer Kabour executive producing. The Heartland Film Festival started in 1992 as a small event in Indianapolis and has expanded over time to become one of the fastest growing film festivals in the country. Today, the annual film festival is a ten-day event full of independent films, a variety of special events for film enthusiasts of all ages and a one-of-a-kind experience in one of the Midwest’s most inviting cities. This year the festival runs from October 18th-27th.
THE CITIZEN tells the story of an Arab immigrant named Ibrahim (played by celebrated Egyptian actor Khaled Nabawy from FAIR GAME) who wins the American green card lottery, arriving in New York City on September 10th, 2001. In addition to Nabawy, the film’s cast includes Agnes Bruckner (BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE), William Atherton (GHOSTBUSTERS) and Cary Elwes (THE PRINCESS BRIDE).
The script took over three years to write and was co-written by the noted Arab American playwright Samir Younis (BROWNTOWN). Younis was living and working in New York on 9/11, and brought his experiences about the aftermath of that event to bear on the script.
Additionally, the trailer for the film has been released today to the public for the first time on the film’s website and Facebook page.
