Man there must be something wrong with me.

I rented Signs, and I have to say it was one of the most boring movies that I've watched in the past year. I loved the score...it's very Hermanesque (Hitchcocks longtime colaborater/composer). But the film itself...man it just bored me.

I don't know...very few of the "shocks" shocked me. In fact the only time I jumped was in the cellar...near the coal chute. The rest of the directoral decisions, while I understand what he was doing, just fell flat. Maybe I've seen far to many of Hitches stuff (whic many of the directoral decisions seemed to be based upon) but it was like M. Night just took the techniques without taking the real "meat" of what made the techniques work.

There are numerous shots that are very "Hitch", but I'ld reccomend checking out Rope...which has one of my favorite "oh my gawd...what's going to happen...edge of my seat" moments in ANY movie that I have seen. Signs just felt...wrong. Forced...I don't know...to me it just felt bland.

Then again I've been under a lot of stress this past week, and may not have been as "into" the movie as I could have been.

OH, and if someone could tell me the "twist" at the end of the film, please let me know...I must have completly missed it.
