First review of M. Night Shyamalan's LADY IN THE WATER!!!

Ahoy, squirts. Quint here. I know you're missing the big review of LADY IN THE WATER, but the author requested we remove it. It appears the film wasn't screened at a test screening, but a personal "friends and family" screening. The review might be putting unwanted pressure on the reviewer... whatever the reason, the author sent us a request to remove the review. I decided not to delete the whole thread, so all the talkbacks remain.
