First a little background from the official website’s summary:
“Is a fanciful and chilling story set against the backdrop of a fascist regime in 1944 rural Spain. The film centers on Ofelia, A lonely and dreamy child living with her mother and adoptive father; a military officer tasked with ridding the area of rebels in her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destines. With post-war repression at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her world through a fable of her own creation.”
I must say, I was very impressed by this trailer. Del Toro seems to have struck the right balance of a dark creepy atmosphere and fantastical elements.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The movie will be released this holiday season; December 29th.

If you have yet to check out trailer #2 for the new Bond flick, Casino Royale, please do yourself a favor and watch it. Watch it now.
I for one can’t wait for this movie to come out. The more and more I see Craig in the role, the more I come to the realization that he is perfect as Bond.

“IBM Corp. says it has begun shipping processor chips for Nintendo Co. Ltd.’s forthcoming video game console, to be called Wii.
Many of the details are still shrouded in secrecy, but the deal gives IBM the triple crown in suppling the key brain chips for the latest versions of the three leading video game consoles: the Wii, Sony Corp.’s forthcoming PlayStation 3, Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360.”
IBM has really pulled off quite the trifecta in securing contracts for creating the CPU’s of all three console manufactures.
