Movie cover for Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Releases on 2007-01-19
Stephen Klancher: January 27, 2007
This was disappointing to me because I wanted the whole movie to be like the fantasy scenes on which the trailer focused. Also "Pan's Labyrinth" became a pronouncement of intention to crush a man's face with a bottle as was done in this movie.

I took my little sister Maddi to see this. Pretty good for a family movie.

Stephen Klancher: April 6, 2003
I watched with in a theater in Bakersfield with my mom. I don't know if it was a rerelease or late after the release or if this is all they did in Bakersfield, but I seem to remember that it was only playing on this one screen in town and it was an abnormally small one.
I really enjoyed the animation and the fantasy of the whole setting.

Stephen Klancher: July 27, 2008
I saw this with Tim and his wife at the tail end of its theater run. Cute movie and the first half or so is another good example of how much can be communicated with no verbal dialog.

I remember being so pleased when I watched this and, without looking at the subtitles, I understood the phrase "I don't know" spoken in Chinese.

Omg he'll drink your milkshake. Really, he'll do it. I think there may have been a good movie here. But all I remember is that he'll drink your milkshake.

I read half-way through the books, quit for a while, then finished right before this came out. I actually like the movies better. I enjoy all three movies, but one notable thing about this one was much fun it was that everyone around me was really into it at the time. The fact that the girls I was friends with and girlfriend at the time were drooling over the actors just added another reason for everyone to be enthusiastic and want to keep rewatching it. So yeah, fun times. :-)

Wow, this was cool. The ending was kinda like, "wait, what?" but the bad guy Anton was very memorable. "What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?"

The Incredibles (2004)

Pixar movies are pretty great. They do a great job of making either a kids movie that adults can enjoy or just a good movie which happens to be acceptable for kids as well.

That was a fantastic movie. Visually very pretty. The kid and the dog are a great counterpoint to the old man. Not many movies manage to be so happy and kid -friendly and actually be so amazing. I walked out of the theater happy!

I remember thinking halfway through watching this movie that it had built a very interesting situation. And then it just lost my interest. It built an interesting world though. The death of the worlds youngest person in the beginning immediately grabbed my attention.

The plot is basically FernGully, which isn't a major criticism, it just follows an unsurprising path. The visuals were amazing. The 3D was very cool, but even without that the environments were incredible. It made me think of exploring new areas in World of Warcraft for the first time.

The casting in this was great. The actors felt so natural playing these very well established characters, perfectly mixing the feel of the old characters while still feeling brand new. IMAX + first day + surpassing expectations = <3

Stephen Klancher: January 25, 2010
Incredibly fun and interesting style. Especially in the beginning which was heavy on the news/documentary style. The explosions from the alien weapons were incredibly satisfying and the aliens themselves were fun to look at. One of the things I thought was most interesting was that much of the movie played like a story about refugees in Africa. They just so happened to be from another planet.

Saw this in a theater in Spain. Sucked compared to the first, but then the first was pretty awesome. Argued with friends about whether or not they ending was setting up for another sequel and whether they would be insane enough to do another. At the moment I see 28 Months Later listed for 2011 on IMDB...
