I'll give Shamalama that he's original and I agree with the thematic through-points as well; that holds up to the old film-school classic "auteur theory", which has to be worth something. And the fact that Ebert liked this new one bodes well, because he and I see eye-to-eye fairly consistently.

I still think the ending to the Village was a big slap in the face. And Shamalama needs to get over his Hitchcock complex and stop putting himself in every one of his movies.

I read that he is hard to see in this one. Is that conceit on his part do you think? Or is he just having some fun?

I must say, I liked Signs very much, but didn't enjoy his acting part in it.
