Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs
     Last night I went to see the movie Signs. Was it good, you ask? Eh, I'm not sure.

Don't read this entry if you don't want to see some details having to do with the ending of the movie.

You see, I really like parts of the movie. REALLY like parts of it. But at the same time I REALLY dislike parts of the movie as well.

M. Night Shyamalan can sure make a creepy as hell movie, this proves. And I like thew concept of a movie centered around people on the periphery of an alien phenomena and not right in the center of it like in most movies (*cough* ID4 *cough*), but at the same time its handling of the plot, heavy-handedness of the theme and ending, and its real lack of reasoning behind the aliens motives, make it leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I mean, come on, aliens travel all this way "just to start a ruckus?" to steal from what Will Smith's character said in ID4. And not only that, but WATER hurts them, and they seemed to have missed that fact until too late, despite, oh, the commonness of water on Earth.

I wish Night would make a sequal to Unbreakable. I would love to see that.
