Lady in the Water, with Bryce Dallas Howard and Paul Giamatti. Wow, I really did not realize that the same gal that was in The Village was the nymph in this movie. Or narf. Whatever. In one sense, I enjoyed this movie immensely because it was like a Charles de Lint story in live action; it wasn't as good as a de Lint story because it had to be more overdeveloped and simplified to an extent in being in big-movie form. Had it been in text, however, I think a lot more could have been drawn out of it. Still, solid acting, cinematography, etc, except for the damn monkeys - just don't go into it expecting a horror movie, it's really a kid's movie in Shyamalan-form.
