Pan's Labyrinth

Lucas and I saw this movie yesterday and I thought it was really good.

I'll note a few things so you don't get the wrong impression:

1. This is a fairy tale, but it most certainly is not for kids. The MPAA has given it an R rating and it is well deserved. If you take your kid to see this movie you are a bad parent. The movie is much more violent than you'd expect.

2. This movie is nothing like the Chronicles of Narnia. The trailer reminds me a little of the Lion, The Witch, etc, etc. but the two movies couldn't be more different unless there were circus clowns involved.

3. This movie is in Spanish. If you cannot read (or understand spanish), you won't know what's going on. I like foriegn movies for some reason. When Luc and I bought our tickets a guy behind the counter (the manager, maybe) said, "you know it has subtitles right?" We knew.

So if you are looking to see a good movie, this is one. Nice to see on the big screen. Great cinematography, dialogue, and score. The acting was superb as well.
