<\/a>I’m generally a fan of this director, despite my inability to pronounce his last name. I’ve always thought that it was nifty that he does a cameo in his movies, and that sometimes his character breaks the rules. Signs was okay, but had serious plot issues. Unbreakable was good enough to own, and I liked The Sixth Sense. With this one, the commercials put me off more than they attracted me to it.<\/p>\n

Since it was in ‘s queue, and it’d been sitting on the shelf since February, I resigned myself to watching it. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t a horror movie, but instead was a fairy tale. The acting was good, despite the extremely odd nature of the characters. It took a bit of effort to get over the suspension of disbelief, but was worth it once I did. Three stars.

\n<\/a>Another one of ‘s picks. I hadn’t even heard of this one before it arrived in the mail. I liked the emotional link between father and son, and I really liked how tied into each other’s actions the main characters became. The way it handled time travel was very irritating, though. No paradoxes. No consequences to remembering more than one history. Very few\/limited difficulties with being outside of the time stream, after it’s been re-written. It was more of a drama\/action movie with a science fiction vehicle, instead of a science fiction movie. In that sense, it was good. In any case, it was an enjoyable and emotional movie. Three stars.
