So you didn't like Happening, and won't check out The Village.
Have you seen Lady in the Water, or Signs?
Not a sci-fi, but the best story I've seen on film in a long time was "The Secret in Their Eyes" which I just picked up from Redbox. Subtitled, Spanish, takes place in Argentina, no action, either. I'd be interested to hear if anybody doesn't like it. After some reflection, I wanted to watch some Firefly, but finding all my sets are loaned out, I watched Green Mile again instead.

Haven't seen Lady, but did see Signs. Signs was a bit better ( more watchable ) than The Happening, but not by much.

Noted on TSITE. I'll keep it in mind.
Green Mile as a Firefly substitute?
Huh.
I'd have gone a different way. Like a Riddick movie, or The 5th Element.....

In terms of "A really good story captured on film/DVD" Firefly was a top choice, and barring that, Green Mile outshone my copies of Riddick, Transporter, 5th Element. I had just repeatedly viewed my newest version of Galaxy Quest, which I must admit did not have quite the depth of story, although a very good story it was.
Speaking of which, have the GQ fans acquired the 2009 Deluxe Edition, with all the deleted scenes and interviews with the cast in 2009, 10 years after the film was made? Well worth it, to me.

Signs was quite good..a bit dark with his wife..but that's MKS. own it
Unbreakable was a cool story line...slow directing..but good movie overall. own it
Village..cool story...scarey in parts...lousy directing of long standing actors..when I see someone like Sigourney suck that bad..I know I've got to blame the director....thought about owning it
Lady - um...sorry I spent the money and 2 hrs of my life that I can never recover.. I mean I had been waiting to see Opey's daughter in something less than a dress from the little house on the prairie wardrobe box..nice enough legs...but nuttin to hit the pause button over...
Happening...WTF !?! he pushed me so far away from anything with his name on it...sick..stupid..slow...sick....I didn't get it at all...other than to be disgusted by the graphics of it all...kept waiting for it to get better and kept thinking..no..he won't actually show the next scene..he'll leave something to our imagination right?...uh...nope.

Heck, I didn't even know there was another edition released...off to Amazon I go! Theres a few movies I don't mind double dipping for and this is one of them. Thanks!
It's funny, I avoided GQ at first because I wasn't a big Tim Allen fan...but I finally got forced into seeing it and it is now one of my favorite movies.
So, did anyone watch M. Night's Airbender movie?
