The Village *** (out of five)- It's not one of M. Night Syamalan's better movies, but it's a reasonably good one. Despite Shamalamadingdong's tendency for the "gotcha!" moment, this movie is not about that. This movie is not about the What? as it was in The Sixth Sense, or the Who? in Unbreakable, If anything this movie is more about the How? and to a lesser extent the Why?. Signs broached the Whys much more adeptly but than this did, but this movie has a more solid foundation than that movie did.

Some minorly spoilery ramblings of the above statement )

Big Fish ****
Shaun of the Dead ****
Ocean's Twelve ***
Mr. & Mrs. Smith ***
Serenity ***
40 Days and 40 Nights ***
