The X Files: Beyond the Sea (1994)
Outstanding performance
Although I do prefer the "alien myth" episodes, Beyond the Sea is a favorite. Brad Dourif is outstanding in his performance, not just in his "talking to the dead/describing where the killer is" but in showing the regret and fear of a man going to the gas chamber. It was also very nice to see Don Davis in the role as Scullys father. With very few lines, father and daughter showed a relationship between two people still in the process of learning to show emotions. After his great role in Twin Peaks, I found it comfortable to know he would also be a part of the X Files universe. Brad Dourif and Don Davis are the type of actors you can always count on, when it comes to great acting.
Lady in the Water (2006)
Brilliant!
I won't say its better than "The Village" or badder! Its an entirely different movie. The pictures, the music, the plot of "The Village" was breathtaking.
But the characters, the feelings, and the demonstration of collaboration between people, only connected because they live the same place, is awesome.
Just watch the movie. I left the cinema with renewed energy. And i can't hardly wait for this brilliant writer and director to do another movie.
If you like a good bedtime story, don't miss this one!
