The Village

[stillsostrange]

So far M. Night Shyamalan 3 for 4 with me. I adore the 6th Sense. I really liked Unbreakable. I would have liked Signs, had he ended it properly and not tacked on an extra fifteen minutes of gratuitous hand-holding and dumbing-down.

I liked the Village. I saw it all coming. Mind you, even guessing it all, I still jumped throughout the whole thing.

I won't go into it, as it is a movie that should not be spoilered. I will say that I like Bryce Dallas Howard quite a bit, and Joaquin Phoenix was very snugglable. To me it had overtones of Le Pacte des Loups--I'm curious to see if anyone else thinks that.

But I found the most wonderful thing in the trailers.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD.

Oh. My. God. Best. Movie. EVAR.

Apple.com doesn't have the trailer yet, but as soon as I find it I'll post a link.

There's no I in team. But there is an I in pie.

That's interesting, because I saw a trailer for The Village and I wondered if I'd like it. I liked The Sixth Sense (G didn't: too predictable) and I liked Sleepy Hollow (which I mention because it's a scary type, and I usually avoid them like the plague). There are still moments when I get up and walk around from nervous tension (sometimes to the bathroom, whence I peek out to see if the icky part is over).

I've never heard of Shaun of the Dead, though.
