Lady in the Water review
Shymalon In the Water
By Christina Armani
One of the biggest movies of the summer is Lady in the Water by producer, director and writer M. Night Shyamalan. Although, the movie was not what I thought it was going to be at all, I fully enjoyed it. Based on the movie trailers, I had thought it was going to be a movie about a group of people looking for a lady who lives in the water, which is far from the truth. The only other Shymalon movie I’ve seen is The Sixth Sense and personally I like this one better. The story was a pretty story full of intrigue and imagination. It was nice to see something very unique and original in the theatres for once. The movie wasn’t well received by the critiques and has so far gained a mixed reaction from movie viewers but I believe its because lots of people where expecting another Sixth Sense and were disappointed when they didn’t get one. The movie isn’t only brilliant, but it has its funny moments as well. I totally agree with Shymalon that there are too many movies with a recipe to them especially scary movies and romantic comedies but I felt that the scene in the movie which depicts that was a little over done and had nothing at all to do with the story line. The only other thing I didn’t like was Bryce Dallas Howard’s name in the movie Story especially since it was redundant with her being a creature from a bedtime story. The music was beautiful and it was heart warming to see Cleveland Heep and other characters risking their lives to save Story since it shows that humanity isn’t all dead. I give the movie four stars and two thumbs up. A great movie for anyone with a big imagination CA
where do you live? san diego?
I guess I should have looked through my journal first before I asked what you been doing…looks bad ass.
hi devila. yes, i live in san diego.
nice, i’ve been there-it’s beautiful
yep. nice to be home…
nice – i wish i could surf like that
That’s actually not me in the photos, I should say, but I was out that day at that beachbreak. The guy in the photo is a semi-retired pro, but the moves he’s pulling in them are pretty basic.
And if you want to surf like thet, well then practice… practice…
The more you learn the funner it all gets.
i know – it’s hard to practice when you live 5 hours away from waves. i used to live right on the coast, but even then i worked during the day, and the waves werent that great a lot of the time, and when they were good, they were too big, etc. it’s a fickle place, if you want to get good – the people there that are good have lived their most, or all, of their lives.
Well, if you can’t surf where you live, what do people do there for fun?
lots – i live right near vancouver bc. so there’s plenty. i love surfing though 🙁
