   I finally saw [1]Pan's Labyrinth. This is a true fairy tale in the
   mold of the Brothers Grimm--i.e. quite disturbing and completely
   unlike sanitized Disney-style fairy tales. The director interweaves
   his tale with the tale of 1940s civil war Spain. What a masterpiece.

   Not for young children. Also shot entirely in Spanish, and I doubt
   many kids would sit through the subtitles anyway. I could write a lot
   about this but it's a fabulous film, best fantasy piece I've seen in
   years.
