I regret I haven't seen Guillermo Del Toro's "Hellboy" (2004) or "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" (2008), though De. Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" was my top movie of 2006. Andrew Tracy at Reverse Shot evidently isn't impressed with the Hellboys,...

Today’s Sketch Week drawing is of director Guillermo Del Toro. I haven’t seen Hellboy 2 yet but it’s on my list. I can’t wait to see what he does with “The Hobbit“.

I realize at this moment in time, most people are preoccupied with the cinematic behemoth that is The Dark Knight . And rightly so, as it is an astoundingly great film. But please do yourself a favor, and make sure you don't miss the visual masterpiece that is Hellboy II: The Golden Army . Made by Guillermo del Toro (the genius behind Pan's Labyrinth ), this movie is an utterly gorgeous,...

A classy and chilling tale, produced and "presented" by Mexico's Guillermo del Toro, who knows a thing or two about scaring the pants off us in an artistic way, and directed by Spanish debutant Juan Antonio Bayona. Belén Rueda carries this film with sensitivity and determination, and makes the story believable. She plays a former orphan with an adopted HIV-positive child planning to set...

... hemorrhaging heart that starts walking around and singing in Cee-Lo's voice? So freaky! (I sense Guillermo del Toro taking notes for Hellboy 3 .) Then again, I guess most of us have had conversations that felt like this at some point in our lives. And the video's creepy/melancholy vibe definitely fits the tune ??? which is one of my favorites from The Odd Couple , for sure. Just remind...

It's got to be strange to be an actor and sit in a makeup chair and see yourself be transformed-- whether you're going full-out unrecognizable under prosthetics like Doug Jones in Guillermo del Toro's movies, or just getting banged up to look like you've been in one hell of a fight. Jason Statham is probably having some particularly strange days on the set of Crank 2, where he appears...

... — to get their stories across. Now, however, they have been edging their way into high culture, delving into ever-more serious subject matter. While comic books always translated well onto the big screen, their more sober counterparts, often relabelled “graphic novels,” are doing well, too. For example, the recent award-winning film Persepolis is an adaptation of a graphic novel about a young girl’s...

Comic-book movies can make it easy to forget why you loved the original comics back in the day. ' Hellboy II: The Golden Army ' will help you remember. Guillermo del Toro, who won a trio of Oscars for ' Pan's Labyrinth ', has a singular approach. As writer and director of Hellboy II, he is almost alone in his ability to re-create on screen the wide-eyed exhilaration and disturbing grotesqueness...

... much excited about returning."McKellen also revealed that he is looking forward to working with Guillermo Del Toro, who will be directing the movie.He said: "Well, if you’re not going to have Peter Jackson, who else can handle the job? To get an international film-maker of his standing who adores the original trilogy, well I don't think you could possibly find a better replacement."...

If all the demons in hell were lovable chain-smoking, wise-cracking characters like Mike Mignola's Hellboy, people would be telling one another to "go to hell" as a compliment. The sequel to director Guillermo del Toro's film interpretation of the 90s comic book is just as entertaining as its predecessor, but its attempts to add substance to the otherwise meaningless action leave a weird...

The closest analogue to Nolan may be Paul Greengrass, who moved fleetly from edgy political fare like "Bloody Sunday" to the mega-earning Jason Bourne franchise. (Guillermo del Toro, who has enjoyed studio success and solid openings while staying true to his quirky vision is also an exemplar of the Nolan model, though Del Toro's numbers are smaller, and the fanboy world to which...
