Anyone seen this yet?
Sypnosis:
Spain, 1944. Officially, the Civil War has been over for five years, but a small group of rebels fights on unbroken in the northern mountains of Navarra. Dreamy 10-year-old Ofelia moves to Navarra with her delicate, pregnant mother Carmen, to become acquainted with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal, a Fascist officer under orders to rid the territory of rebels. Ofelia, who is fascinated by fairy tales, discovers an overgrown, tumbledown labyrinth behind the mill. In the heart of the labyrinth she meets Pan, an ancient satyr who claims to know her true identity and her secret destiny. But first, she must complete three tasks before the moon grows full. And no one must know: not her ailing mother, or her new friend, Mercedes. Time is running out, for Ofelia and for the rebels. Both will have to battle hardship and cruelty in order to gain their freedom. But, who can be trusted in a time of lies and danger? Is Pan telling the truth...? And if not, who is?
Its directed by Guillermo del Toro
If I'm not mistaken...that's the guy that did Hellboy correct? or is doing Hellboy 2.

Yeah same director from Hellboy an for Hellboy 2 & 3 & so on as long as they keep making Hellboy movies, I think I read hellboy's his favorite character. He's a very good director. This movie's up for a couple Oscars, a lot of people think it should win each one it's nominated for. I heard it's very bloody but very good, it's a Adult Fairy tale. So you may not want to take your kid to it. I wanted to see it this weekend but it's not playing anywhere near me, so I'm gonna buy it once it comes out on dvd.

I actually found a theater that's playing this movie. It's one of the old type of theaters with a coffee shop next to it, not one of the larger companies like Lowes or AMC, perfect for this type of movie. It's not listed for some reason on the web but when I called up the place they said it was playing. I'm gonna see it tonight, hopefully they won't care to check for ID or else I'll have to see this with my mom which would suck.

Saw it & loved it! Definitely one of the best movies ever! (and I mean ever) The effects were spectacular! The story was even better than I expected and the artistic style of the film was truly sentsational! I loved the violence and gore of the film, it made it seem more realistic and not too overly gorey. I don't give this rating out much but it gets a 10/10 in my book.
