Pan's Labyrinth (Here's where I play movie critic)

Brutally fantastic film that breaks all the rules of American movie making (marketing).
In case you haven't seen it, it's not what you expect.
It's not a nicely packaged/targeted/pigeonholed, straight forward Pixar/Cameron Diaz/Ben Stiller/Hugh Grant/Steven King/George Lucas movie. (BTW-It's come to the point in movies where I think you could have a poster that just says "Ben Stiller" or "Hugh Grant", no title, picture or anything, just the name "Will Ferrell: 7.15.07", and you know exactly what you're going to get. Then again, I guess its always been that way.)
Pan's creators borrow toys from completely separate playsets and orchestrate them into a 'labyrinth' of the wonder and replusion.
And the cgi is evident, but not overbearing because it isn't necessarily the primary focus of every scene like George Lucas might do.
It's childlike yet mature, dreamy yet brutally real, foreign yet familiar, restrained yet pushing the envelope all at the same time.
I also noticed subtle biblical undertones throughout the film, which I can't go into without revealing story/plotline.
I only have two qualms. When the spanish title came up at the end, it essesntially said "Faun's Labyrinth." Why they didn't go with this, I don't know. I believe Pan is the Faun's name, but this isn't broadcast every two seconds in the dialog.
That, and if I were a parent bringing my kids to this thinking we're seeing Narnia, I'd be blindfolding them saying "What the *$&*$ is this?" "Where's Aslan?"
Another title could be "The Lion, The Witch, and the Concentration Camp."
Easily one of the year's best films. ('06 or '07? I'm not sure, but probaby both.)

Fashion Faux-Pas

Jessica Biel sparkled at the Golden Globes in a glimmering beaded Valentino dress, but it was a familiar look: Hilary Swank wore the same "vintage" dress three years ago for the Oscars. That's a major fashion faux-pas for any stylist.

This morning I saw a cab promoting Disney's Princesses on Ice 2.
The ad showed all of our favorite Disney princesses in the same outfits we first met them in. Belle in her yellow Versace dress, Cinderella in her Armani gown, etc.

The thing is, these girls, er princesses, have been committing crimes far worse than Jessica Biel. They've been rewearing these same dresses for years, and the tabloids, ET and Extra never cite them for it. I didn't see any headlines reading, "Snow White hit the red carpet in the same dress she wore 70 years ago."

Are they somehow above the fashion mores of Hollywood? Is there a double-standard? They would never, ever let heiresses Paris Hilton or Ivanka Trump get away with this. Perhaps in spite of their iconic status, they may just be D-List actors now, and can't afford new wardrobes.

If this is the case, I'm writing to ABC in hopes of seeing one of them on Dancing with the Stars next season. Not Ariel though. That would be weird.
