About Me
- Name: Dave
- Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States
Do you know me? Read one of my stories. Will you know me then? I have blue eyes, but sometimes they are green. Does this help? I am older than The Electric Company but younger than Sesame Street. Have you figured it out yet?

Nice review. I just saw the movie yesterday and loved it. Baquero was wonderful as Ofelia and the film was shot beautifully, but I thought Sergi Lopez was out-of-this-world amazing. I'm pretty sure I didn't blink anytime he was on the screen. The casual, sickening violence masked by movie-star looks and obsessive military precision was, I agree, riveting.
Yes, exactly. I've seen some people condemning the performance for reasons that seem based on their distaste for the character, which to me is missing the point. I think his performance may in fact be the crux of the film; if we don't believe in him, or he becomes cartoony, the rest of the film falls apart. Amazing work.
