M. Night Shyamalan's The Village

I saw M. Night Shyamalan's The Village tonight. I'd read reviews and heard buzz that the third act of this movie was a "What the f---?" kinda moment, but I didn't think that was the case at all. In fact, I'd figured out the inevitable ending about 40 minutes into the movie. At any rate, I thought the movie was excellent, and my wife enjoyed it too, which is a rare thing, since her idea of a good movie invariably involves Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and/or Drew Barrymore. (Just kidding, honey.)

William Hurt's performance was absolutely stellar, as usual. Hurt's been one of my favorite actors since I saw The Accidental Tourist at the theater years and years ago. (The Accidental Tourist is still one of my favorite novels and one of my favorite movies.) I even liked William Hurt in Lost in Space, although I liked Mimi Rogers even more. (Hot!)

Anyway, so now I've seen two M. Night Shyamalan films. Unbreakable with Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson was the other one, and I loved it too. I still haven't seen The Sixth Sense or Signs. But they're definitely on my list.
