{movie} lady in the water (2006)

Helmed by Oscar-nominated director M. Night Shyamalan, this unconventional bedtime story was first conceived as a fable for his children. When apartment building manager Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti) discovers a water nymph (Bryce Dallas Howard) residing in the complex's swimming pool, he rearranges his life to help her return to her mythical home. But if he fails, it may mean the end for her world -- and for his.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: * Man, M. Night's movies just keep getting worse and worse. The Sixth Sense was incredible, Unbreakable was great, but not as good, Signs hurt a little bit, but was good, The Village took too long to get to the point, and Lady In The Water was almost painful. After the overall poor reception of Lady In The Water Shyamalan has said that his next film will be a "return to form", likely indicating that his next movie will be more along the lines of his blockbuster hits The Sixth Sense and Signs. I certainly hope so.
