impressive film. that scene with the no-faced monster with eyes on his hands was pretty great. i think if kids see this film they'll be scarred for life
i'm sure this'll be a shoe-in for Best Foreign Language Film, but you'll find that out when i win the oscar pool
at least that's what your mom said |

Never saw that, or The Devil's Backbone, which is also supposed to be really good.

I'm very excited. I have a ticket to a showing of this tonight. I have been waiting a long time to see this. A nice bonus is the fact that Doug Jones (Pan) is going to be there doing a Q&A after the film. I'll be sure to post something on it when I get back.

It's an amazing film. I loved it. I'm to tired to start gushing now, though. I will say that Doug Jones was a hoot to meet, though. He seemed so excited to be there and chat with everyone. It made the film that much more of a unique experience.

Stupid the one who decided to include the phrase "From the director of Hellboy and Blade II".

I just skirted over this because I still haven't seen PL, but the guy seems to raise some interesting critical points about the movie:

Finally saw this, bought the DVD the other day and watched it last night. Thousht it was great, , gripping, creepy, imaginative, dramatic, well acted, beutifully designed and surprising. It's amazing to see such a great performance from a young girl like that. Also watched The Host today, that was pretty good. |

some things don't hold up as well after thinking about the film.. but i think that guy is missing the idea Del Toro was going for with the whole fantasy world.
jamming good with Weird and Gilly |

"The movie asks us to care, to some degree, about the plight of a young girl who is the lost princess of some faerie-like realm."
Yeah, but she is also subject to the cruelty of her adopted father.
*SPOILER*
"What was the point of the maid giving the guerrillas a key to the storehouse, if--as someone in the movie rightly points out--the guerrillas could simply have used a bullet or a crowbar to unlock the door? (Answer: the whole point was to expose the maid as a rebel agent, so del Toro could film another person being terrorized, brutalized, and killed.)"
Yeah, I kind of wondered about this too. Otherwise, I think maybe the guy is being a bit picky. Sure, it has it's flaws but the film is not a history lesson. |
