The Village (2004)
Well done film in general...
While this is not my favorite of Night's films, it is definitely still a good one, and well worth seeing. Without spoiling anything, i'll just say that a big factor of what made people think the film was not well done, was actually part of the twist. (clue - has to do with the acting out of the characters.) Yes i did figure out the twist, and it might not have been as good as some of his other films, but thats not saying it was bad. There were still a lot of other clever moments in this movie which makes me believe it was well written and well executed.
I give it 8/10.....Not Night's best, but in no way a bad film....See it before others ruin it for you.
The Big Bounce (2004)
good, good, good, good, not so much...
Aside from all the negative buzz that surrounded this film before i saw it, i came out of it having enjoyed myself...for the most part that is. Owen Wilson makes this movie good. If it weren't for him, it would've probably been nothing. The only thing i didn't like about the movie was the ending. Without spoiling anything.....I think it was simply over done. The writer tried to make it TOO clever and it just came off kind of muddled. Not that i didn't understand what actually happened, I just thought it was a bit over the top. Being a fan of Owen Wilson, i found it quite funny, but if you're not a fan of his work, then STAY AWAY, cuz he is what makes the movie.
Overall......enjoyable movie, that deserves a better ending.
