Laberinto del fauno, El, (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006,  R)
Laberinto del fauno, El, (Pan's Labyrinth) 4.5 Stars
A dark, fantastic, and quite brutal movie. There is such a dark beauty to it. Always a sense of sadness...and hope. Very touching, very moving. Incredible to look at...and to "feel".

This movie just makes me smile. Everything about it. It's warmth...it's humor...it's love...that gnome. :) But, it's Tautou that is the most amazing thing about the movie. It's in her face. You just can't help but feel a bit more alive and happy.
It's wonderful and beautiful. I love it!

Breakfast at Tiffany's 5.0 Stars
Wonderful movie!
Hepburn and Peppard are magnificent and work soooo well together.
It's delightful, fun, quirky, sad, and romantic. Even the look of the film and the smaller, side characters are amazing.
If you haven't seen it...
you really should. Hell, I'm not big into romantic anything...but this is magical!

Such an adorable movie! It had me smiling and giggling on a day where I didn't think that was possible. A wonderful family film.

Clerks II 5.0 Stars
Okay...I thoroughly enjoyed this. Bravo to Smith and company.
It's raunchy and so wrong at times, yet there is a lot of heart to this film. Very sweet moments with just the right touch of comic relief slapped in. The banter was wonderful and perfectly timed.
And I have to say, though I loved all the characters, that Elias cracked me up the most. His naivete and geekiness was played so perfectly.
Great writing.
Great film!

My favorite Disney movie. The look, the music, Aurora...and my favorite Disney villain, Maleficent...make this a movie I can watch over and over. It's magical and beautiful both to behold and listen to. I feel like a little girl, again, everytime I watch it.

Good stuff!
Yes, it's helpful if you've played the game, to understand what is going on, but they give enough info in the beginning of the film to get you through it. Thankfully, though I never played the game, I watched my hubby play them. So, I pretty much knew what the backstory was, though I did have to ask a few questions.
Great graphics and music. The fight scenes were amazing.
Sephiroth is well worth the wait. Yes, he's my anime crush. LOL
I REALLY love this movie.

Hoffman was brilliant. The deception and charm that Capote used with those around him was played so well. As was his slow breakdown. Excellent movie.

Mrs. Henderson Presents 5.0 Stars
A delightful surprise.
Judi Dench was wonderful...just amazing: witty, vulnerable, and intelligent. And Bob Hoskins played perfectly beside her and ahead of her at some points.
The nudity was backdrop to the story and very tastefully done.
I found myself crying toward the end of it. I did not expect this movie to be that moving...but it was from beginning to end.
