Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Yeah, my count starts with The Sixth Sense. Shows what I know.


I can appreciate how some people really dig Lady in the Water. I just don't happen to be one of them, and I can also completely understand why it was a great big bomb.

And I surely understand why most people did not like The Village.

I just don't happen to be one of them.





I just watched Signs, to take the bad Happening taste out of my mouth. Similar premise of an end-of-the-world scenario Hitchcockianish / WarOftheWorldsely told via a micro story of a small and isolated group.

And while Signs is not my personal favorite of M. Night's work ... I think it is one of those rare, perfectly crafted and constructed films. And I can see why it was his biggest mainstream hit. And I love it.



I think I'm gonna watch some more of his movies, and then wonder what went wrong.


Damn talent arc.
