If you thought Pan's Labyrinth was creepy, have you seen Devil's Backbone? It was the movie that del Toro made before Pan, and Pan can be considered a spiritual sequel to it since it takes place during the same time period.
In some ways, Backbone is much more realistic. In other ways, it has moments about 10 times as disturbing on a moral level. That being said, it was very good.
And del Toro's directing the new Hellboy movie. I can't wait!
Oh, and incidentally, the reason the Golden Compass movie sorta fell short at the end is because it ended three chapters before the book did, partially because they wanted an upbeat ending, because otherwise...
WARNING! MASS SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M WARNING YOU! TURN BACK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE DAMNING TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... Essentially, Lyra's father kills Roger to open up the gateway to our world. Yeah. And Lyra goes in after him.

True, but the the Dark Materials trilogy was meant to be an antithesis to the Christian-themed fiction. I'll agree that the series does raise some very good points, and I enjoy its viewpoint in regards to the true identity of God, but to be fair, a lot of people hated the third book. For one, it introduced several dozen new characters. Second, the previously anti-Christian message gets blown out of proportion to the point of parading atheism around like the solution to all of life's problems... which is what the author felt Lord of the Rings and Narnia were doing with religion.
And Ever After is an amusing movie to watch.
Lessee... I just saw Iron Man, and I loved it. I hope the new Hulk movie is good too.

Faithful to the book? xD Yeah right. They added in the whole romance deal because it's Disney.
So, yeah, last movie I saw in theaters was Prince Caspian. Last movies I saw on TV {first one watched through, second caught the end of after the first was over}: Sky High and Forrest Gump. OK, & Edit: Most recent movie seen, period, would be the Tiny Toon Adventures movie 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation'. It's a tradition with my sibs and I that, no matter how old we get or how much Adam claims he outgrew cartoons, we watch that movie every June 1. Soo...yeah.
