Movie Review
Grade: A
From the man who brought you Mimic, Blade II and Hellboy (yes, don't get too excited) comes one of the best movies of 2006 and a potential candidate for Best Foreign Language picture at this year's Oscars. Pan's Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno, El) takes Guillermo del Toro's unique eye for creature design and wraps it around a tragic and brutal World War II-era tale that strikes a lot of similarities to modern America. It is adventure, fantasy, war and political commentary all rolled into one wonderful package.

Pan's Labyrinth, by Andy
March 2, 2007
This is not one for the kids. It depicts a harsh reality of war and what crazy men will do.
See this with the adults and take the family to see something like Bridge or Astronaut Farmer.
