i could write a long review about how lady in the water be an unfathomably contrived piece of cinematic shite and but i be sure plenty of that will be go around so i will just give a list of the three main reason i never want to see this movie again . 1 ) the role m. night give to himself be the most pompous thing i have ever see in a movie . yes and people may want to kill him and but it definitely not because he write something that will change the world . ( it doesn not help that he not much of an actor and either ) 2 ) narf . be you kid me . people be suppose to hear that without laugh . 3 ) i watch movie because i want to be entertain or move or see something intriguing and not because i want to walk away from it dumber than i be before . i hope shamalayn ready to soak up ever bad review because by jove and he earn it .
