Unfolding before viewers' eyes like luxuriantly blooming nightshade, Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth is a dark treat that delivers a powerful sting. The nightmare conventions are here in his story of a young girl whose moorings to the real world have been quite effectively cut, everything from mysterious forests and exaggeratedly evil father figures to subterranean monsters and a fairy world existing quite close to our own. But instead of losing himself in the otherworldly, del Toro bases this fantasia in the deadliest of realities.

City of Ember | | | Starring: Bill Murray Tim Robbins Director: Gil Kenan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | City of Ember - DVD Review By: Travis Johnson - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/28/2009 7:15 PM | | Mythmaking in the movies has never enjoyed a more fruitful age than this present era of special effects. What’s missing, however, is the depth and subtly the filmmakers of the past could weave without easy access to glitter and glow. City of Ember, another Walden Media kid-lit adaptation, has all the ingredients needed to create a compelling myth. What it lacks is the patience to let it all simmer. read the full review | |
