Wonder if it will suck as bad as the rest of his movies.

I'm not a M. Night fan but that looks pretty sweet.

Also, is that "CANDY BARS!" guy from Super Troopers?

Yeah, neither did The Village, Signs, etc, etc, etc.

His only good movie, imo, has been The Sixth Sense.

You either mistyped or misread.

As for his movies, I've only seen Signs and thought it was pretty stupid. I've heard all about The Village and I know exactly what happens but I still want to see it because I think I'd like it.

You might be the first person to like it then. I thought Signs was his 2nd best effort behind Sixth Sense....I did not like Unbreakable, but a lot of people do.

Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Signs

Big drop off after that. I watched The Last Airbender a few weeks ago. The special effects were cool but the dialog was pretty lame. However, it was pretty decent if you consider the target audience is the under 12 crowd.

I may be the only person who actually really liked The Village. :(

The Sixth Sense and Signs were sweet. Unbreakable and Lady In The Water were rented with the ladyfriend so I sorta wasn't paying attention, if you catch my drift. The Happening has its freaky moments but it was pretty obvious what the twist was. In my opinion he needs to get away from movies with twists in them and just make good movies, because now everyone just looks for the twist the entire time.



Also, snozberries taste like snozberries.

^^^ There was no twist in Airbender. Of course, it was a different type of movie.

Question...

Nobody had a cellphone? I mean, seriously, I use my cell as a mini flashlight all the time. My droid has a damn flashlight app for crying out loud.

M. Night got a lot of cred out out 'Sixth Sense'


perhaps deservedly so...that original concept was brilliant...

1. "Sixth Sense"

2. "Signs"

3. "The Village" was saved only by the excellent Bryce Dallas Howard and the eccentric Jouquin Pheonix.

Sixth Sense was good because it was a sweet movie and had Bruce Willis in it.

Unbreakable was saved by it having Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson in it.

Signs was saved by having Mel Gibson and J.Phoenix in it.

Adrian Brody as a retard doesn't do it for me though. So the village sucked.

Lady in the Water was god awful

The Happening was terrible.

Airbender was based on a Nickelodeon show.

Liked the Sixth Sense and it fooled me with the twist. Unbreakable was kind of slow, but I still liked it and I did like how it was pulled together at the end. Village was a nice concept, but terrible execution. Signs and The Happening = dumb and crappy all the way around. I'll probably get around to seeing the others, but I'm in no hurry and it'll have to when someone happened to pick them up for free at the library and I happen to have a couple hours to waste.

Mistyped. I meant to say "so did" and not "neither did"

Anyways, Signs was ratarded. Lets have a slow as fuck moving movie and at the end, lets throw water on them....stupid.

Has anyone seen his latest film, The Last Airbender? I haven't, and won't, but I was curious if it is any good.

Well of course it wouldn't work in a movie :)

When I first saw Signs I thought it was pretty cool but then again I think it was my junior year of HS now when I watch it I think is just alright. Sixth Sense was an awesome movie and pretty much his only good one. I stopped watching his movies after The Village its probably one of if not the worst movie I've ever seen.

I really liked The Sixth Sense and Signs, and I liked (not a lot) The Village. I did not see Lady in the Water or some of his other newer films which I heard were pretty bad. The ones I've seen I've liked, but I've luckily avoided his bad ones. I'll give this one a shot.
