Unbreakable
Had forgotten Mr. Night's conventions of always having a great twist at the end - so that came out of nowhere and had a greater impact on me then it would have if I was expecting it. Really great ending; though I could have done without the epilogue dialogue overlayed. If it just ended with Samuel's final line I would have been much happier. That's just me. I'm a big fan of open endings. The sophistication of a regular story is what makes this special - and I have been really interested in media of this nature lately. Even creating my ideal sophistications of vampires, werewolves, zombies and whatnot. Over-done myths that, with a spark of realistic darkness, can be refreshing and original. It's slow and not for everyone, but if you stick with it, it has a great payoff. Love the train station sequence with the glimpses of prior dirty deeds. Definately a good blind-buy for me.
Didn't get to Session 9 - fell asleep before I could pop it in. I'll watch it tonight, though. :)
Finally made myself a nifty avatar, too. :p
