| Hellboy II |
| Opening July 11th |
Maybe you're one of those who didn't cotton to the first Hellboy four years ago. I did. The title character, as invented by Mike Mignola and vividly played by Ron Perlman, is an amazing invention: a brooding, bright-red anti-hero who files down his horns to please his pyro girlfriend (Selma Blair). What I cotton to even more is the decision of Mexican director Guillermo del Toro to go back to Hellboy when the justified acclaim he won for 2006's Pan's Labyrinth had Hollywood begging him to go with the suits for high prices. The gifted del Toro is a maverick pied piper. I'd follow him anywhere.
