In my opinion, 2007 was a year full of Hollywood over-bloated movies with Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, and Transformers each making around a billion bucks.
Amidst these puffed products lies a great creation, called 'El Laberinto del Fauno.' Yes, a spanish movie, with the title poorly translated to a more Americanized 'Pan's Labyrinth.'
This one got three oscars for the 2006 year though! Best cinematography, best art direction, and best make-up is all that a NON-AMERICAN movie is allowed to take!
A contrast between a real-world-like picturesque of 1944 facist Spain, and a little girl's day-dreaming, the movie has 'What happens when make-believe believes it's real?' for its tag, and you can't describe it any better!
It's a rest-of-the-world, MUCH improved and more interesting, version of 'Cronicles of Narnia' series. And according to Wikipedia, Pan's director refused to direct the second Narnia movie to focus on his 'Pan's' creation, literally. He is a producer and the writer of the movie!
I warn you, this is a bloody one, with many vigorous bashes, MUCH blood and real-time head-shots! If you would like a screening, I will be happy to provide you with it! Yes, I'm giving the movie free publicity!
My 2007 movie roundup: ( ***** 5 Stars: Sicko, Jesus Camp, Pan's Labyrinth, Zodiac, Ratatouille ) ( **** 4 Stars: Amazing Grace, Meet the Robinsons ) ( *** 3 Stars: Children of Men, Pirates III, Spidey III ) ( DISAPPOINTING: Transformers, 300, many others! ).
