And at the risk of being completely unpopular, my favortie film by Mr. M Night is Unbreakable. I'll just sit back and let the outrage pour in.

I think unbreakable is brilliant ...
It gets better with every viewing also ...
A brave bold take on the comic book theme .. especially considering all of the hight-tech cgi super hero movies
pouring out of the studio ..
but The Village ..
Man .. i cant recommend anything about this film ..
The acting was deplorable - from everyone ... Hurt is so bad in this film ... I remember when this guy could do no wrong, Body Heat/Children of a Lesser God, etc ... but he's headed for the bargain bin if this keeps up..
And Ronnie Howards daughter's performance .. what a calculated formulatic horrible interpretation that was ...
Seeing this film was like having your 4th date with a beautiful woman who says all night long 'i cant wait to get you back home into bed' - all through dinner she's rubbing her bare foot on your crotch under the table - while licking her lips salaciously ....
You notice that by the end of the date her hair is starting to look funny and her makeup is a bit off .. but still there is so much promise of a good time you keep interested.
Then you get home and she says ' Just kidding !! See Ya !!!
Or even worse .. turns out she's a guy.
thats about the best analogy i can come up with re. the village.
