 on Feb 05 2007 07:50 AM Well I saw Because I Said So which was ok at best(C) Keaton was iratating. I also watched Pan's Labyrinth which lived up to the hype, one of the best films of 2006, it was very well done and everyone should see it. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 05 2007 08:58 AM I saw "Pan's Labyrinth". Man, that was One Incredible Movie. And I normally don't enjoy movies with all subtitles. With "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I just gave up reading halfway through. I am SO glad I gave this one a chance. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 06 2007 02:25 PM [b]Good news[/b] The good news is that Epic movie fell to third place while Pan's Labyrinth stayed at 8. Also according Box Office Mojo the daily results for Monday Pan's Labyrinth is now in sixth place and Epic Movie fell to fourth place. (Reply to this) |
 on Feb 06 2007 06:34 PM In reply to this comment (#854826) Agreed, in a just world, Pans Labyrinth will pass Epic Movie for total box office eventually. I hope that people that are turned off by subtitles will give this movie a chance, it is incredible to watch, even if you don't read every line. (Reply to this) |
