Let's get the reel spiel about the movies out there to rent.

Amongst all those blockbusters, it's nice to sit down to a great movie that may not have had the exposure it should have had. Here you can find those gems you may have missed, those you should miss, & those with a few unwarranted surprises.

I will do my best to help you find a worthy pick that won't waste your time by looking at four types of movies. First, the "Hidden Gems & Forgotten Flics", those movies you may have missed or never gotten around to. Second, the "Don't Bother" movies that just aren't worth your time. Next, the "Whoa!" movies that take you by surprise in a negative way due to gratuitous "something". Lastly, the "Misleading or Heavyhearted" movies that may leave you well, heavyhearted.

Here's to finding great movies and avoiding the rest!

Pan's Labyrinth






2006 (R)
Genre: Foreign Film/Spain, Subtitled, Fantasy, Drama

"Hidden Gems & Forgotten Flics"
A fantastic, dark fairy tale made for an older audience. This visual masterpiece is a little girl's surreal, fantasy in another dimension exploring Pan's Labyrinth. It does deal with war and political ideas, so it does have some graphic violence at times, but somehow still captivating. Thematically, it can be dark, traumatic, and even frightening at times, especially for children. Due to the adult themes this tale is not for younger teens. I recommend viewing this before allowing older teens to see it.
