Lady in the Water

M. Night has created what I feel is an excellent story that is well told in a cinematic format. Many critics have slammed this movie like a wrestling move focusing solely on M. Night's arrogance to cast himself in the movie as the writer who will save the world. Yeah, that's pretty snotty of him, but hey, it's still a great story.

Some things to note that will help you enjoy the movie. There isn't a twist ending like his other films, and the movie is a fairy tale. So get ready to suspend disbelief because this story requires a bit of imagination.

The movie also has some quirky social satire and commentary tossed in, which it is able to do with the wide spectrum of characters and the confined space they all live in. The funny in parts that you wouldn't expect it to be. With the mix of a good, strong story, great characters, the balance of comedy and horror, this movie for me was a wonderful experience. I would compare it Unbreakable, which most people don't get, but the one's that did get it, love it.
