El Nuevo Remolque Asombrar Para El Labertino del Fauno!!

It's a fairly rare occurrence, but man oh man is it sweet when you just KNOW you're going to love a certain movie. That's how I felt a few weeks back when I sat down in a Toronto movie theater to experience the newest piece of cinematic magic from mad genius Guillermo del Toro. That title, as I'm sure you know by now, is Pan's Labyrinth -- and if this flick doesn't make my year-end top ten, then that means December is going to be jam-packed with 5-star films ... which seems pretty darn unlikely, all things considered.The movie is about a young girl who is forced to accompany her mother and nasty new stepfather to an isolted military outpost deep in the forest. There she discovers some fascinating relics, fairy-tale secrets, and creatures both dazzling and dangerous. The movie is a piece of dark, brilliant beauty and I simply cannot wait to see it again once it opens -- on my birthday! (That's 12/29 for those who aren't a member of the Scott Weinberg Fan Club.) Those who are hungry for a few new glimpses of the Labyrinth need only visit IGN FilmForce and check out the brand-newiest trailer they're offering. And don't worry: It's vague enough and admirably spoiler-free.
Pan's Labyrinth was recently announced as Mexico's official Oscar-eligible release, and that's pretty exciting news for the genre fans. Frankly I think we should give Guillermo del Toro a big nerdy hug for treating the horror/fantasy field with such skill, color, sincerity and affection. If we had more genre-centric filmmakers like Guille, I suspect the movie world would be a much groovier place.

PLEASE! Try not to translate anything by just literally doing it one word at a time. I guess you meant to say this.
¡El nuevo treiler de "El Laberinto de Pan" es asombrozo! (The new trailer for "Pan's Labyrith" is amazing!)
Yes, movie trailer in Spanish is just that same word( US invention , anyway); "remolque" is reserved for towing things.

Pan's Labyrinth just premiered in Spain last weekend, I've seen it and... yes, it's great. Much, much better than "Devil's backbone" and "Hellboy". And I won't say anymore, I don't want to spoil anything. Go see it in December!
