DVD Review

M Night Shyamalan casts himself as a writer whose great work in progress, The Cookbook, tells so many dangerous truths that he will be silenced for them, though his work will live on and inspire future generations, including a president. This guy doesn't just hate the artworld scoffers - he wants to be revered as a prophet.

The film features a magical world full of mystical creatures (narfs, eagolons, scrunts) and a schism between the Blue World (that'll be the sea) and mankind, caused when "man's need to own everything" moved him inland.

Wars and the rest followed, but the Blue World won't give up on mankind, and every now and then despatches a narf (here in the form of Bryce Dallas Howard) to convince curmudgeonly, belligerent mankind to return to the coast.

Not Shyamalan's finest work to date by any stretch of the imagination but if you want some insight into the mind of the self-styled genius then you might glean something from it.

Special features include deleted scenes, Lady In The Water: A Bedtime Story featurette, Reflections Of Lady In The Water: 6 featurettes, auditions

and gag reel.
