So if you have not seen it, do not read any further. Mind you, it is bleeding obvious, so feel free to read on.
I managed to get to this latest M Night Shayamalan piccy without knowing much, which was hard given my daily trawl through horror websites. I guess I quite liked it, but during the following week I heard so many bad things about it I feel my opinion has been derailed. Back on trak, Zooey Deschanel should be banned from acting, as she looks crazy for most of the film. Yes, I have thought about director guidance, but I go with her bad skills.
Mark Wahlberg on the other hand, I am not so sure about. He acts like a simpleton (being a devout christian (him not me) I can believe it). I am not sure he is the best choice as a science teacher, as he seems a bit parrot-like when performing some of his lines.
At the end of the movie, all I wanted to do was rush home and hug my family.
The fact that I didn't is a fact of family life (I had to go to Tesco), but once home I was chuffed.
West Riding roolz!

Y’know, when a film is panned as vociferously (not to mention unanimously) as this, I always seem to find myself defending it. I have been an ‘M Night Spinner’ since Unbreakable (his best work methinks), but I had to throw my hands up in the air and concede that the Lady In The Water was ego stroking of almost Shatnerian proportions.
But somehow, I just couldn’t hate this film. Ok, Mark Wahlberg can only act when he has a director really working a performance out of him (The Departed) and yes, characters ‘running away from a breeze’ is NOT and easy thing to sell, but ‘one of the worst mainstream films ever made’? God no. But hell, I liked Speed Racer.
