The Lady in the Water
Aug. 12th, 2006 05:41 am
Even with the baby asleep, I'm still waking up at 4 AM. Sigh. So I'll take a minute hammer out the analysis of "Lady in the Water" that's been percolating in the old noggin.
Squirrel and I saw it despite the negative reviews, since we like everything else Night has done (yeah, I'm calling him Night - it's not that I'm hanging in his Philadelphia crib, but that I can't be bothered to find the spelling of his last name). This certainly wasn't his best work, but it's not enough to sour me on seeing anything else he's done. I can appreciate his aims, and certainly his desire to do something new, but in doing so he really worked against his strengths.
What follows contains a whole heapin' helpin' of spoilers. You are warned.

It's not a movie I'd recommend dropping a lot of money on, but I still found it interesting, worth seeing and better then a lot of other crap that's put on the screen. Elements from it are being filed for the potential low end supers game set in M. Night's Philadelphia that's been rattling around in my brain. Because it always comes back to the gaming.
