Last time we went was to see Signs by Mel Gibson. Loved it.We rented Signs and Ransom this past weekend, because we both love Mel Gibson's work as an actor. Ransom was outstanding (Gary Sinese was also outstanding in this one), but I felt like Gibson phoned in the performance in Signs. Thought it was disjointed and left me feeling like I wasted my money.
The Patriot and Braveheart are two of my favorites of his.
I loved Signs and bought the DVD. I thought Gibson was excellent and the distance and ambivalence of his performance was perfect for the characterization of a man denying his own beliefs.
Anyway, Signs is a movie you have to see at least twice. The second time it seemed like a different movie (Shayamalan's films are like this) and I'm enjoying trying to find the "signs" that are in the film.
