A tale of 2 G’s!  I love director Guillermo Del Toro.  His movies such as “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Hellboy” are so great!  He was in New York at a pre-screening of the latest film he produced – “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.”  Being totally honest, I didn’t care much for the film.  It will make you jump out of your seat a few times, and it is certainly well produced.  The creatures in the film also are very cool looking, but the story is very predictable and isn’t very strong to begin with, according2g.  What matters most to me; however is that when I spoke with Guillermo Del Toro, he was very nice!  Thanks Guillermo!  After the film was over, the stars of “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” Katie Holmes and Bailee Madison took a few questions from the audience.  Guillermo is hilarious!  He likes to use the F word a lot and as you’ve gathered from this site, we are big fans of the usage of that word.  And when children are around – BONUS!  Why sugar coat life?! Good times!
