Harry Potter movies are a billion dollar baby, but they have nothing on Pan's Labyrnth by Guillermo del Toro. Like the Harry Potter premise, Pan's Labyrnth is a coming of age story. And like Cynthia Rowland's stories, this one invokes the mystery of fables and the creatures who inhabit them. But in Pan Labyrnth, the power of myth to evoke eternal themes of good and evil is matched to the bucolic mountainside of post-Civil War Spain where a sadist Franco loyalist is mopping up insurgents. Don't miss this movie.

i guess you gave up on the boat show and went to the movies.
Watching movies involves time. And believe it or not, I can't separate myself from the screen, so I end up stressing just like I was there. Not a thrill to pay 10.00 and come out tenser than when I went in.
I will just drive to work and get tense for cheaper!
Actually, I watched "March of the Penguins" at 2 am this morning. Wonderful story, only brief moments of sadness, during which I flipped the clothes in the washer/driver.
