Lady in the Water

I liked this movie. It didn't try to be anything other than what it was, a scary children's story. I really enjoyed the ending too, it's been awhile since I've seen a happy ending.

Videodrome is nuts in the most glorious way possible.

QFT. Cronenberg did really drop the ball with eXistenZ though.

I thought this movie was excellent. It was funny, heartfelt at moments, and the story had just enough mystery. Night was pretty good in his role, and he didn't have THAT big a part. It is way better than The Village. Also, this movie had tons of great looking movies in the trailers. The Prestige and Children of Men both look like awesome movies.

Just saw this. I have to vent so I'm bumping. Old movie = no spoiler tags. Be warned.




So... nobody in the movie seemed to take into account that the old Asian lady's bedtime story was probably old as fuck? The central problem here is you have to take a girl to the beach without her getting bitten by a large dog who can home in on her. Sure, 10,000 years ago or whenever the bedtime story originated that might have been tricky, and you'd need healers and gaurdians and giant eagles.

In 2006 it seems to me that the interpreter is anybody who can figure out that the best way to see a grass dog is to hang out in the middle of the shopping mall's parking lot and look for any dog-sized clumps of grass. You know, instead of hanging around a lot of grass and looking over your shoulder in a mirror.

The healer is anybody with some Neosporin.

The gaurdian is anybody with a sturdy iron shovel or anything else that might overpower a dog.

The guild can come up with bright ideas such as "eagles can reach the roof of the appartment building and dogs cannot".

Or the guild could, I dunno, offer to drive the girl to the beach in one of their cars. If any of them has a car that can drive faster than a dog can run.

I've found with shmalan (probably mispelled, I don't care) that I like each one of his movies less than the previous one. I don't think I can hate a movie any more than I did Lady in the Water.

I'm glad I haven't bothered to watch it yet after feeling completely betrayed by The Village.

Unbreakable is the only good movie he's ever made.

Unbreakable is the only good movie he's ever made.

Signs was good, too.

Make that The Sixth Sense. Signs was average.

[Compass]

Here's the order:

1. Unbreakable
2. Lady in the Water
3. The Village
4. The Sixth Sense
5. Signs

1-3 are great.

Compass is insane.

Village and Lady in the Water were two of the biggest piles of crap I've ever seen.
