Monday, February 19, 2007 Movies I Have Enjoyed of Late If there is a must see film before the Oscars this Sunday, it is Pans Labyrinth, directed by Guillermo Del Toro.  The film is about a young girl who is forced to go with her mother to live with her mom's new husband in the mountains. Her new father, a general for Spain's fascist regime (1944, during Franco's rule) is stationed in the mountains to fight the separtists.  To cope with the general's sadistic nature and the horrors of war, she escapes into a fanatasy world.  This is a truly spectacular film, though violent and heartbreaking. Pans Labyrinth is nominated for Best Foreign Film. I've also enjoyed re-watching Sophie's Choice, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Reds, and Children Of Men. Tomorrow, the favorite to win the Oscar for Best Picture, Babel, comes out on DVD. If he have not yet seen this, pick it up and watch it. Another amazing film. 10:27:04 PM   | COMMENT [] | Previous Posts > See 300 Seconds of the New Film '300' Like Lightning on the Dancing People: A Review of PF Potvin’s ‘The Attention Lesson’ Best Albums of 2006 Oscar Predictions 2007 Movies I Have Enjoyed of Late Writing About PF Potvin We're On 'Good Morning America' Today Best Family Films of 2006 Valentine's 2007 Dixie Chicks Go 5 for 5 At The Grammy's!
