A Fabulous Night of Cinema

7:20- The Village

I very compelling film. Some of Shamalan's best character development, scene tension, dialogue (lotta great quotes), and a great overall experience. Not the best of his work at this point, but still well worth seeing.

After running home for dinner, I met some friends at another theater for:

10:30- The Manchurian Candidate

Wow. An amazing film. Great acting, clever script, and excellent pacing. This film was almost two hours long, but I was glued to the screen the whole time, so it went incredibly fast. Say what you want about it being liberal propaganda, but in my opinion, it critiques both sides, and maybe even one candidate a litte more (his initials are JK)

It's so much fun to see two great movies in one night. But then again, how often do two movies of this caliber come out in one weekend, especially in July?

I recommend all involved parties see these these films, post haste.
