Pan's Labyrinth
If you haven't had a chance to see this film, I highly recommend it, and highly recommend seeing it on the big screen. It's by Spanish director Guillermo del Toro, and it's set in post-Civil War
Spain and in an underworld that may or may not be imaginary. Sumptous photography, haunting music. A bit violent for my tastes (I had to close my eyes a few times) but worth the effort. Two thumbs up from Wray and Ian.

I've been meaning to see this, but haven't had the chance. Is it out on video yet?
We were surprised it didn't receive Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards last night ... but we haven't seen any of the nominees in that category yet. We did see "The Departed" however, which was excellent and were happy that Scorcese finally won. (I am speaking for Ethan and Drew ... not using the royal we :-)
I loved "The Departed" too. I expected to love Jack as always, but everyone was great. And it's nice to honor a good family film with a happy ending.
