Basically movies where the director didn’t care about logic and used that freedom to cook

    I think the movie Signs gets over scrutinized for the climax where they realize water kills the aliens. Sure, it would be stupid for aliens to invade a planet absolutely crammed full of a substance that’s so dangerous to them, at least without some kind of basic moisture protection. MNS should have probably spent some time finessing that part of the story to make more logical sense.

    However, even with that issue, I still love it. The actors are all great, dialog is funny, mystery unfolds nicely, and the theme is well constructed.

    One detail i really liked that took a few watches to notice is that the Dad called a family doctor to treat their sick dog. Later you see a brief hint that the guy who killed his wife is the town vet.
