Hellboy 2

Just finished my longest bike ride yet! It was 15.5 miles and I couldn't help but notice my odometer is getting awfully close to 200!


We saw "Hellboy 2" Sunday night with our movie buddies, Rob and Amy. I won't go into it too much, but I have to say what an incredible film it is! I enjoyed the first Hellboy movie, but I was blown away with what they did this time around.

The scale is so epic compared to the first one, and the imagination on display over the course of the two hours will blow your mind. Reading that claim may surprise you until you learn that the writer and director of the movie is Guillermo del Toro, who was nominated for an Oscar last year for "Pan's Labyrinth." While he didn't win, the film did rack up 64 awards and 58 nominations worldwide. Del Toro is a true filmmaker!

I haven't been caught up in a movie like this for a long time. I was actually in awe of what I was seeing numerous times. "Indiana Jones" and "Iron Man" were great recent movies; "Hellboy 2" was a great piece of art!

The fact that Peter Jackson selected del Toro to helm the two "Lord of the Rings" prequel movies makes me so happy now that I have seen what he can do. I have no fears about the future of Middle-Earth!!

Check this out if you haven't seen it - very funny. Hellboy on "Inside the Actor's Studio."



Enough about Hellboy - don't forget about THIS:

Tomorrow is the day I'll be screening the new Batman movie! The excitement here in Linnen's Bat-Cave is palpable and we are just trying our best to go through the motions of everyday life to make it to 10:30 pm Tuesday.
