Just a quick movie note while I wait for some ink to dry… I saw Pan’s Labyrinth on Monday. This is some really good stuff. Very dark and quite gruesome, but in a way that is so much better than all the hack and slash crap ‘horror’ films that they keep putting out these days. Great visuals and like any fairy tale worth it’s weight, it’s full of historical (and moral) commentary. I only wish that we spent a little more time in the fantasy world, as this is where Guillermo Del Toro’s creativity really shines. When I stop to consider that Del Toro wrote, directed AND produced the movie himself I can’t help but feel like a lazy bum.

If you are within 60 miles of a theater playing this, try to see it.

Did anyone make it to Gilliam’s “Tideland?”
