Dan and Conrad were spelunking in the oubliette's indoor pool and resurfaced M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water (2006), a fairy tale for adults starring Paul Giamatti as a melancholy caretaker in an apartment building who discovers a 'narf' in the community swimming pool. That might sound like a euphemism for something revolting, but it turns out to be an ethereal nymph-like creature played by Bryce Dallas Howard, whose mission is to inspire a great writer to create a work that will change the world before she is ravaged by magical wolves called 'scrunts'. In a questionable move, the director casts himself in the role of the inspirational writer, and various fantasy hijinks ensue. The film is widely regarded as part of Shyamalan's precipitous downfall after his smash hit The Sixth Sense (1999), but is it as bad as people think, or does it deserve a re-evaluation? Find out!
