Critically Acclaimed: Lady in the Water and Blind

M. Night Shyamalan’s LADY IN THE WATER is one of the most notorious vanity projects in motion picture history, an ambitious fantasy film about water nymphs and grass dogs that argues that M. Night Shyamalan, playing an M. Night Shyamalan-esque character, is the most important writer in the history of the world. It’s ridiculous, it’s infamous, and it’s the perfect double feature with Eskil Vogt’s rarely seen Norwegian film BLIND, about an blind author who uses fiction to rewrite her reality. Also this week, we say goodbye to the late, great Burt Reynolds, and review the new releases THE NUN, PEPPERMINT and I AM NOT A WITCH. We also read a whole bunch of your letters!
