My thoughts on Pan's Labyrinth & Volver

Pan's Labyrinth was fantastic! I really liked it. It was pretty violent and the fairytale monsters were a bit freaky, but it was an interesting story. All in Spanish, but very easy to follow the story line. I definitely recommend it!

We also saw Volver a few days later. This movie was also in Spanish, but I found it not as easy to follow the story as "Pan's". Personally, I'm not sure Penelope Cruz's performance was Oscar-worthy, but then again, what do I know?! It was entertaining, but I did not leave the theatre remembering much about it...
