I just watched Pan's Labyrinth for the first time.

I've been planning on watching Pan's Labyrinth for some time now, obviously, at the time, I didn't know it was all in Spanish. But in all honesty, the fact that I didn't understand a word they were talking about (well, I wouldn't have unless the subtitles were there) didn't detract from the experience at all.

I thought the film was great. Amazing, even. It had a rich story line, the acting was superb. The music was wonderful, and I think the way it was directed and everything really captured the moment.

So this is not going to be like a long review on Pan's Labyrinth, I just want to say how great of a film it is. Sure, the fact that it was in Spanish kinda put me off a first, but that was because I didn't know it was in Spanish. But the story sucks you in so fast that you forget about the language barrier and just enjoy the film.

It was an amazing movie, it showed the era quite well, and the girl who played Ofelia was just amazing. God, she couldn't have been older than 12 when she was filming it (I haven't had the chance to IMDB search it yet...) and she showed some real talent. I would like to see more stuff from her, to see how she differentiates between characters.

Overall, amazing experience, I'm so happy I picked up the DVD now. Great value, great film. What else could go wrong?

I would recommend it to anyone that's willing to listen. I think I might just blab on about it next time I see my friends. Great stuff. A Saturday night well spent.

So on the other, less happy side of my life is still job hunting. Vue cinema's still haven't gotten back to me. Oh, how I wish they would do it soon to put it out of my misery. Though obviously with good news, I kinda need some good news at the moment.

Moving on. It is getting late now, and I kinda have to be up early in the morning. So...

Night!
