YES! I wasn't bored once. It was sort of like <I>The Black Dahlia</I> in that in wasn't great, but there was always enough going on to keep me entertained. And, yeah, Shyamalan can direct a scene brilliantly, it's stringing them together that is his undoing sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Ali, indeed. <I>Signs</I> is my absolute favourite of his. So good.<BR/><BR/>Bruno, you obviously liked it a bit more than me, but I know what you mean.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295440.post-1169152939004237552007-01-19T07:42:00.000+11:002007-01-19T07:42:00.000+11:00Lady in the Water isn't bad at all.

It's a very revealing look into the head of the director himself and how he regards his own work (delusions of grandeur.)<BR/><BR/>I don't like <I>Unbreakable</I> much either, and my favourite work of his is probably <I>Signs</I>. I have issues with the whole faith stuff, but I remember being wowed on my first theatrical viewing - the building of suspense was masterful.Yaseen Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908587347677660287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295440.post-1169130887266002702007-01-19T01:34:00.000+11:002007-01-19T01:34:00.000+11:00Glenn, I'm with ya.

I'm not going to agree with you on the <I>Unbreakable</I> dissing, I LOVE <I>Unbreakable</I>, and I probably do think it's Shyamalan's weakest film, but even that said he still knows how to frame a shot and shoot an environment elegantly, which sometimes can be enough, and I thought Bryce Dallas Howard was interesting to watch and lots of interesting supporting players... I did kinda want to see Shyamalan get eaten by those godawful monkeys though.Jason Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254334131909339157noreply@blogger.com
