Guillermo del Toro & Pacific Rim trailer 2

Pacific Rim. Sorry, just not sure about this. Guillermo del Toro’s 'Pan's Labyrinth' seems like a long time ago now (2006). I'm glad he didn't get a crack at the 'Hobbit' on current form. I do understand money and Hollywood can change people. Big budgets and films that must make the 'correct amount of dollar', will play on any directors mind. Hopefully he will one day return to the form of Pan Labyrinth.

Book Review of 'Europe Has Fallen' from Amazon.com

"I picked this book up after reading the description and I was instantly
captivated by the storyline. Starting in the Carpathian Mountains during the
winter of 1875, "Europe Has Fallen" follows the exploits of a unit of British
Royal Engineers working with their Austrian allies as they are confronted by a
mysterious and evil army made up of the stuff from nightmares. The action is
fierce, the heroes brave and though they seem stiff and reserved at first, the
characters become well-developed as the story flows along. As a history buff, I
find a lot of the details fascinating and the thought of facing an army of
monsters armed with a single shot Martini-Henry rifle is terrifying.This
book features an ensemble of British, Austrian, and Prussian soldiers who are
trying to do their duty while facing impossible odds, but of these, Captain
Heyward becomes the central protagonist as the fighting continues. His
flashbacks to his happy family and adoring wife are real tearjerkers as he
prepares himself to face an army of flesh eaters, giant wolves and other
monsters too terrible to mention.This book is the first in what I
suspect will be a very successful series. I can't wait for the next book to
arrive."
