Pan's Labyrinth

I am really anticipating seeing Pan's Labyrinth, but I think it is off a lot of people's radar. Neil Gaiman (author of Sandman and American Gods, and a pretty good judge of things of this type!) has seen it and gives a "no spoiler review".

The official site is here.

It looks like it opens everywhere on January 19.

Resolute Resolutions

Well, I am not much for New Year's resolutions, but if I did make them, journaling and blogging (as in do more..) would be at the top of the list. So, in that vein, the return of Me Talk Pretty.

The first order of business is end of the year lists. Let's make the first one movies.

In order to do this, I went to Movieweb and went through the list of movies released in 2006. I came up with the following list of movies I saw this past year:

• Lucky Number Slevin
