I agree with all of that. I'm not saying I disliked the movie at all... I was just a little disheartened by how graphic it was. It truly was beautiful tho... I'll have to give it another go sometime. Because it's the very definition of a "Louie movie" (sans the violence, of course).

Pan's Labyrinth was a lot closer to the way I would've expected Tim Burton's Alice to have been.

Pan's Labyrinth is epic. What a spectacular film. I love the blend of historical fact and fantasy. Yes, it was violent, but nothing out of the ordinary considering the history of the time in Spain. Absolutely remarkable film.

Recently viewed:

2012 - pure trash. but hey, it gave me some good laughs. 1 star.
Precious - hmmm...3 stars. it was OK, completely overrated. i've seen a lot of films with a similar theme.
Paranormal Activity - 1 star. garbage and not the least bit scary.
The Hangover - This was kinda funny. I thought it would be lame, but whatever. I laughed.
Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi - 4 stars. Sweet Hebrew film, with a compelling lead actor.
Sorority Row - garbage, 1 star. nice T&A though.

No, you're right. It's total rubbish.

Never seen the movie but the novel (by Kazuo Ishiguro) is awesome. I've read three of his (Artist of a Floating World and Never Let Me Go, as well) and he's definitely interesting.... not quite obsessed enough with the endless capabilities of language for me to really dig him, though.

So I mentioned The Ghost Writer (which was awesome, go see it)... but the night before that, I watched an Israeli film called For My Father. It's a really provacative film that takes an interesting stance on Palestinian/Jewish relations. I'm really passionate about the conflict (as in don't get me started.... I kinda hate Israel) but this movie is fantastic for anyone, with any level of knowledge or interest in their relations.

You're certainly entitled to that. In all fairness, I kinda hate America's policies.

Haha I was also just about to give you the same warning. You really don't wanna have a discussion about this.

As for movies, I watched Working Girl and Fatal Attraction. Both were fantastic, of course.

Hmpf. My sister bought it the other night. It's two hours of my life I'll never get back.

Trash in a DVD case.
