Though not my usual pick of genre I have to say that I enjoyed this movie. It's primarily about the two main characters developping a romantical interest for each other though, so don't expect too much sci-fi time travel stuff.

#4 The Lake House
Average but decent movie.
The Lakehouse is a romantical drama film, starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. The movie features time travel in the form of a mailbox and tells the story from two points of view. On one side we have Keanu who is an architect living in the year 2004 while Sandra plays a doctor living in 2006. They can communicate with each other through letters which are sent back and forth through time via the mailbox from a lake house, a house both of them lived in at separate points in time.

#1 Pan's Labyrinth
Time to get started then.
I watched this with a friend of mine after having postponed watching it for the longest time. Why did I postpone it? Simply put, the language. Pan's Labyrinth (also called El laberinto del fauno) is a Spanish spoken film and I usually don't like movies in a foreign language.
Pan's Labyrinth is a pretty good, yet probably rather unknown, fantasy film. It wasn't quite what I expected as I thought it would contain much more fantasy elements, instead it also features a a period in Spain set five years after the Spanish Civil War.
The movie combines the storyline of a Fascist captain fighting Spanish Maquis and of his stepdaughter Ofelia who meets several magical creatures. One should note though that the whole film has a somewhat darker setting and that it's not just some happy go lucky movie.
All in all Pan's Labyrinth was a decent movie and I'd recommend it if you're a fan of the fantasy genre. If not, you best stay away from it because it'll probably not meet your demands.
Now I'm off to watch the Greek (TV Series) series finale. Another blogpost coming soon with what I thought of it.
