I watched Pan's Labyrinth last night. It's a Spanish film that takes place in 1944 fascist Spain, involving a girl's quest to save the ones she loves from the her sadistic army general stepfather, and the metaphorical fantasy world that guides her along. Meta seems to be able to pick up immediately on all the symbolism, but then she has a lot of practice (for her, everything in life is symbolic). I thought it was a captivating film - scary and beautiful. Thumbs up.

Happy Valentine's Day, all you sweethearts out there. You know who you are. ♥☃♥
