M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village

I'm not going to give away the Shyamalan trademark surprise so feel free to read this.

By the way, they are not dead, comic book villains, nor are they afraid of water.

This movie was OK, definitely wait for video. It is not big in the scary department, just a little. It reminded me more of a newer episode of The Outer Limits. I like the Outer Limits, but usually the Outer Limits is not over 2 hours long.

I also figured out what the "surprise" was going to be. I think it was a little obvious. Greg figured out what the surprise was going to be too. I think the problem with M. Night Shyamalan is that everyone now knows there is going to be an Outer Limits-like surprise at the end. That just makes you get ready for it and look for it.

As always, the preview was a better movie than the movie. What I really wanted to see was I, Robot. I'm sure they weren't very faithful the Isaac Asimov story, but would still like to see it.

Response from mkhobson:

But wasn't San Joaquin Phoenix CUUUUUTTTE? (Actually, he's kinda creepy, but I guess that's what makes him cute too.)

My response:

It's funny that you said that. I was going to put something in about Joaquin Phoenix. I'm not a Joaquin Phoenix fan and I thought that you must be. Seems like your kind of actor, I know you like them creepy. He wasn't creepy in this film anyway.
