Lady in the Water (2006)
A very simple film
This is a very simple film, but it is exactly what M. Night said it was, a bedtime story. This movie is very different than his previous films. It is actually more straight forward. This movie isn't all about the twists that M. Night is known for. It is more about the characters and all their personal journeys through out the story. The acting by Paul Giamati and Bryce Dallas Howard was superb. If your aren't to busy listening to the "Know it All" critics, you should go see and enjoy this movie. I'm afraid it has now become a popular trend to bash M. Night's films. Once he was praised for his style, now everyone thinks they could make a better movie than his. I think his imagination is wonderful and I sincerely hope he keeps sharing his thoughts and dreams on celluloid.
The Jacket (2005)
Profound Performance!
Adrian Brody deserves at least, an academy award nomination for his performance in this film. Sadly I fear this film won't be recognized because of it improper marketing and poor performance in the theaters. This film was promoted as a horror film, just look at the tag- line, "Terror has a new name!" What kind of crap is that? Anyway I don't think he will be recognized for this role even though I believe he should. Also, Kiera did a stunning job! I was totally surprised by her performance as well. I mean she hasn't been terrible in her past films, just no where near as deep or real as her role in this film. All in all I really enjoyed this film. The direction, cinematography, compositing (effects in his eyes) and Editing were superb. I will watch this one again and I would recommend it any day.
