Night Shyamalan

The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan
$19.99
This mockumentary is pure cheese, and even without having read these reviews to find out the real "secret" of this film, its obvious this film was a pure hoax... but it's a fun hoax. Initially the film feels like they are painfully trying to stretch out minimal footage and interviews with Night, but as the mock-doc goes on, it's actually fairly fun stuff, in a cheesy X-files sortof way.

The highlight for me was the interview with Night, about midway through, featuring Philly "velveta" cheese steaks and shooting pool. Night really comes across as a down to earth, decent guy, and you can't help but think that the "buried secret" of this film is that Night is secretly laughing along at all of the footage.

Three stars for a somewhat clever concept, good corny fun, and for the sadly brief interview time with Night.

Lady in the Water (Widescreen Edition)
$12.98
i bought this as a bargain movie, but i had never saw it. when i finally sat down to watch it, i fell asleep and woke up it was still on. it was long, boring and confusing unless i missed something that other people who gave this movie a good review.

The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale
$27.50
I respect Shyamalan greatly for being willing to fall on his face in pursuit of his dream. Bamberger's book is a fast read and very entertaining for Shyamalan fans. It also contains a comically disturbing look into the life of cinematographer Chris Doyle. This book should be read by aspiring filmmakers, Shyamalan fans and fans of moves in general.

Wide Awake (1998) [VHS]
$9.99
I love Wide Awake. It doesn't get bogged down in sentimentality. The characters are clear and believable. The quest this boy goes on to find G'd feels genuine and isn't answered with pre-set adult answers. Delightful.
