DVD: Hellboy

What a silly film! Whilst quite impressive in many aspects of its production design, the plot, characterisations and situations were a combination of derivative, unbelievable (even with as much suspension of disbelief as possible) and stupid, or all three! But there's a certain amount of free-wheeling charm that made me watch it through to the end. But I can't say I wasn't disappointed, as I've been looking forward to getting to see Guillermo del Toro's films for ages (Chronos, The Devil's Backbone). Ron Perlman was kinda cute, though!

Just picked up some publicity and seen the reviews on At The Movies (David & Margaret) of del Torro's new film, 'Pan's Labyrinth' - sounds great, looks amazing, and very good reviews - I can hardly wait!
