Ever since hearing about the winners at the Golden Globes, I have taken the list of nominees for Best Drama and Comedy as my movie list for the weekend.

One of the first to get my attention was *The Shape of Water* after Guillermo del Toro won Best Director, the dude behind *Pacific Rim*, *Hellboy* and *Pans Labyrinth*.

**Why did I watch this movie?**
Because Guillermo.

**Is this movie family friendly?**
No. You will see full frontal nudity within the first 5 minutes.

**Is this movie “family friendly” ;)?**
Yes.

**Would you pay ultra-deluxe-premiere-bean-bag-24k-gold-popcorn ticket price for this movie?**
Yes, but not the premiere price.

**What is it about?**
Watch the trailer. It's what the movie people want you to know about anyways (plus I don't like to know too much of a movie before watching on either)

**Better than Pacific Rim?**
SoW is my kind of movie. So it is better.

**Does the movie look good?**
One word. Guillermo.

**Is the story good?**
Good, not great.

**Now the moment of truth, what is your rating?**
4 out of 5 stars.

**Worth watching?**
Yes, if you liked fairytales like Beauty and the Beast, you will love this even more.

---

**What’s the next movie on the list?**
Lady Bird.
