ReplyDeleteI LOVE Guillermo del Toro! Pan's Labyrinth is possibly the best movie made and I still listen to the soundtrack at least once a week.
ReplyDeleteThe Orphanage was awesome too...Now I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. And only like two years to wait, eh?
Don't you mean Sarah Alexander will be returning as Elrond?
