A human woman falls in love with an Amazonian amphibian man in Guillermo del Toro‘s fairytale The Shape of Water (2017), winner of the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Directing. While the creature character appears to be modeled from precursors such as the Gill Man from Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954), and Abe Sapien from del Toro’s own Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: the Golden Army (2008), the Director made him attractive and soulful, and believable as a romantic lead.

Syfy Face Off 409 Mummy Mayhem

Tonight’s Episode (Airdate March 12, 2013): Mummy Mayhem

After what has been eight weeks of separating the wheat from the chaff, is anyone really surprised to see Anthony, Kris, Wayne and Eric Fox in the top five? I’m not. House, who’s had a few good ideas but basically avoided winning a challenge or being eliminated by treading the middle ground, could sneak into the Top Four if these other guys with Top Looks and Wins under their belts slack off at all. It’s anyone’s game to lose at this point. Continue reading Face Off Episode 409 Recap: Mummy Mayhem! →
