I liked the Village but I won't yell at you sweetie because I can see where it is not everyone's cup of tea. I personally can't stand Paul Giamati that's enough to steer me clear of Lady in the Water right there...and the teaser and TV ads have not intrigued me at all.

I like M. Night's movies. Some are better than others to be sure. I liked the 'Village' up until it turned into a 'Twilight Zone' episode.
I was intrigued by 'Lady in the Water' until I went to some website or read some magazine article, I can't even recall what my source was - and the entire plot was spelled out without warning including the twist.
Now, who knows if that source was right or not, but that pretty much doomed the movie for me. Plus, none of the actors does anything for me.

Thanks Vic ;)
No, I liked the village until about half way through. Partly I was frustrated with his inability to make a movie without a twist ending because I've started looking for them in his movies and predicted the village about 15 minutes into it, which was really frustrating. I kept telling myself that he wouldn't take it the direction I thought he was going to, but then he did.... Also, spoiler ahead, I hated the fact that we spent the first half of the movie concentrating on Joaquin Phoenix's character then suddenly he was taken away from us and we were asked to concentrate on Bryce Dallas Howard, nothing annoys me more than putting my energy into a character for no reason...

One of my beefs with 'King Kong'.
