Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Mike Elizalde, Ron Perlman
sometimes watching movies like Hell boy, with actors made up in prosthetics, make me wanna become a make-up artist.  The wardrobe is awesome and their fantastical faces look so surreal. 


It sort or pulls me away from reality and into the portal of the realm of magic and wonder.  It makes me imagine and dream to be one of the cast members. It makes me wanna be an elf, fairy, monster and human all at once.  Who cares about the storyline when you have characters that look as great as that!  Oh yes, and the props... the set... the colours, the EVERYTHING that most people overlook when watching movies.  Most go for their favourite characters and the hot babe playing the lead or supporting actress baring lots and lots of skin, but not so for me. i go to observe and watch and calculate how much time and effort was put into the making , and figure out how each step was taken to get an effect and soulfully appreciate the art of making the movie.  who sits till the end of the movie before getting up and leaving their trash behind in a cinema?  not i.  i love listening to the main themes played after the movie and scrutinise the number of people it took for props to be created, .................................. and in this movie, i loved seeing the myriad of monsters in different forms.....................................very similar to pan's labyrinth because its directed by the same guy, Guillermo del toro! check out this pic...fawn and the paedophage monster  looks very much like the angel of death in hellboy II
