Andrew and I went to see Lady in the Water and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, I would say it is my favourite M. Night Shyamalan movie.  It ran the full gamut of emotions - happy, sad (cried), scared, etc - in fact it was surprisingly humourous for one of Shyamalan's movies.

The theatre was not full and it should have been. I think Shyamalan popularity has gone down because people did not like the Village - which I liked but it was too predictable. And I always love the unpredictability of Shyamalan previous movies.

If you did not go because you think Shyamalan is an egomaniac or did not like his last movie - you are robbing yourself of a wonderful bit of storytelling. It is a magically told, filmed, acted, bedtime story all about "purpose".

I love that Shyamalan doesn't stick to the "Hollywood Formula". Every one of his films is imaginative and out-of-the-ordinary. People should stop KNOCKING him for it!

Plus Shyamalan does some of best directing and shooting I have ever seen. His screenwork is flawless.

Go and see it - come back and let me know what you thought!
