Lady in the Water - I watched it last night cause it looked neat when I saw the trailers and it came on HBO or Cinemax or something. Unfortunately, giant crap. I was interested for 20 minutes or so cause the initial plot seemed unique and a lot of things could be done with it, but unfortunately they never expanded on things and it just dragged on and on. Shamaylan was a terrible actor too, I have no idea why he insisted on putting himself into the thing. The only redeeming factor was the scenes with the movie critic guy making fun of typical movie things in the movie, but that was only about 60 seconds of total entertainment. Paul Giammati wasn't even that good as his character seemed like it would be developed well at first, and then nothing happened. He didn't even stick with his speech problems when he should have at some points. If you want to see this movie, watch the first 20 minutes and the last 20 minutes. You won't miss much.
