The Sunday Matinee -- Lady in the Water

Paul Giamatti stars in Lady in the Water
I was chatting with a local 411 daddy bear and he asked if I wanted to catch a movie. We settled on Lady in the Water at Wilder.

The movie centers about an apartment complex superintendent, played by Paul Giamatti, who discovers a woman in the complex pool who is from another world. The lady in the water, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, is there to find someone who will help change our future world. Her efforts to get home are plagued, however, by a wolf-like creature intent on killing her. There are some nice scary scenes and some funny scenes in the movie. The story however waivers a bit and asks the audience to believe quite a bit, even though this is a sort of fairy tale. It's a bit confusing in the middle.

Giamatti is wonderful though. I've grown to genuinely like his work. He has very attractive and expressive eyes, they remind me of stripedtiger's eyes actually. I think Giamatti is going to become my new celebrity crush. He is usually a bearded bear of a guy, usually playing someone very human. He swims in the movie shirtless and his furry front and back are very visible :) With the body shaving (and possibly hair removal) he's had done, Jeremy Piven has disappointed me and may drop in current standings.

My daddy bear company was and is a nice, friendly guy. It's good to have new friends.

Did I enjoy the movie? Yes, it was entertaining.
Would I see it again? Maybe.
Buy the DVD? Maybe.
