If you liked Pan's Laberinth and The Devil's Spine, then Guillermo del Toro's latest, The Orphanage, will surpass your expectations. As with PL, it is a tale of childhood lost, and as with TDS, it is a ghost story.

I saw the briefest of previews on tv the other day. I don't know if it was a local station or not so I don't know if it'll be in MI. It looked interesting and maybe it'll be at the art house thingie in Royal Oak, but that's probably one I couldn't convince the missus to go see. I'll have to keep it in mind because I can't even add it into my Blockbuster queue yet.

“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.
