Lady in the Water

My Sunday night film this week was the M. Night film. Unfortunately I have lost my Sunday night film going compadre. This was normally the time when my friend Ryan had nights off so we could hang out. He now took one of the jobs managing the theatre which means he no longer has those nights off. It brings an end to era. Its a shame really, I think we have normally been going to Sunday night films for the last 5 years. Now I'm stuck seeing films more by myself. Damn you Ryan! LOL.

As for the film, I thought that it was really cool. I would use the terms whimsical and enchanting. I'm not sure if they are the right words to describe the film but that's what I'm going to use. It did start off slow and I was left wondering when it was going to get good, but when it did I was enthralled. It really started to pick up when Giamatti's character starts involving the tenants of the apartment with the story of the lady in the water. The first question my youngest brother asked was is there a surprise ending. The answer is no, b/c you didn't need one the whole movie it self was sort of a surprise being revealed one step at a time.

If you like any of M Nights films then you will enjoy yourself here. It is up there with my favorite M. Night film Unbreakable. If any one hasn't seen that film it would be a must. It is the one film I saw three times in the theatre. I have seen films twice in a theatre before (such as Land of the Dead, Memento, X-men, Dawn remake) but this was the only one I saw three times. Luckily I never had to pay for any of the times I saw it. The ending still gives me chills and I must have seen it at least 10 times. I remember the third time I saw it I brought like 7 friends with me b/c I told them they must see this film. I think only one of them didn't like it, but I never really held here opinion in high regard anyway. See was a friend of a friend and sort of a pain in the ass. I think that was the last time I even saw her. :)
