Lady in the Water
Kindly caretaker Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti, SIDEWAYS) discovers an elfin creature named Story (Bryce Dallas Howard, THE VILLAGE) living in the swimming pool of the apartment complex where he works. It soon becomes apparent to Cleveland that Story is not of this world, and that her mission to deliver a message to mankind is fraught with danger. The stuttering caretaker tries valiantly to protect her so that she may have safe passage back to the Blue World from whence she came. Suspension of disbelief is mandatory in this beautifully realised modern day fable, directed by master of suspense M. Night Shyamalan, who puts his own unique spin on the conventions of the traditional fairy tale.

One of Shyamalan's admirable traits is that he never just homages earlier work, but always thoroughly overhauls his sources. There are traces in LADY IN THE WATER of TWILIGHT ZONE writer Rod Serling's tales...

A Watch For Acting, Not Necessarily Plot
An overall a good film with an interesting, if somewhat convoluted and occasionally gratuitously silly, plot. I'm not sure what genre I would classify this ... read more »

A message to mankind
A lovely lovely film which left me with my batteries recharged as far as there still being some humanity left in this world - even if it was just a fable.

Noughties Bond has new love interest
- 05 Sep 2006
When it emerged last week that Layer Cake star Daniel Craig would share a gay kiss in his latest film, Infamous, many Bond fans were said to be shocked. So the news that Bond 22, the follow up to Casino Royale, Craig's first Bond film, will see the secret agent with a new love interest is sure to cement the actor's machismo for 007 homosceptics. Or is it? As film insiders have revealed that Bond, being a noughties man and all, will have a male love interest in the next instalment of the... Read more
