I saw "Lady in the Water" which is M. Night Shyamalan's latest film yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately I didn't find the film that good and agree with some of the reviewers such as S.F. Chronicle's Mick LaSalle (who I often don't agree with). In fact I think his best film thus far has been "The Sixth Sense." The problem is that though he is very talented the studios pay him way to much to make these films (the studios are starting to wise up BTW but that's another story). When you pay people too much the creativity falls by the wayside as they feel compelled to be worth the money they're being paid and technique rules. Look at last year's award winner "Crash" which was low budget and has a lot of soul. Trim M. Night's budgets way down and we may see some good films from him again.
BTW, it was interesting that all the four trailers that played before the film we either sci-fi or supernatural in nature. The trailers were for "The Fountain", "The Illusionist", "The Prestige", and "Children of Man." Also some of these films had the same actors in them. The A-list must have shrunk considerably. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
