Curious to know if anyone here has seen the new Shyamalan film yet? Despite
the negative press, I've heard from a number of trusted cinephile friends that
it's a great film.
I know we have some Shyamalan fans here; Bill's on record as being an
"Unbreakable" fan, and the Contracampo critics (Filipe, Ruy, et al) also seem to
be
fans, if Top 10 lists are anything to go by. I'm not quite on board yet, but I
plan to revisit his previous work after I see "The Village."
