Keyword results: Guillermo Del Toro
In Hellboy, Guillermo Del Toro finds the big red muse that lets his artsy aesthetics and blockbuster tendencies combine into a glorious mess of pulp fiction.
Pan's Labyrinth? The Devil's Backbone? Blade 2, even? Del Toro only has one story, but tells it with such heartfelt glee and attention to detail that no one minds.
Back when we actually were kids and not just pretending to be, escapism took the form of movies and books as opposed to beer, while darkness and excitement were found not in a dank pub but in a fairytale.
Whether flying through the sky with Falcore in The Never Ending Story or climbing The Far Away Treewith Dick and Fanny (before their names were funny), there was nothing like the magic within myth and legend, which unfortunately seems to subside from the age of 8.
