Pan's Labyrinth - ****
Amazing and haunting film. Brilliantly crafted by del Toro and one of the most terrifying movie villians ever in Captain Vidal. If only more fantasy films were this good.
Babel - ****
The theme can be lost on some, but I love this film, amazing cast all around, yet another great film from Alejandro González Iñárritu.
Crash - ***
Good, not great, I'm quite amazed that this won best picture, it's a well made film with good performances, but it's nothing new and not terribly deep either, not much in the way of character development, and a bit too preachy.
