M. Night = horror? WTF?

How are his movies horror movies?

Sixth Sense was awesome, but not a horror.

Unbreakable was obvious (2 stars and Bruce Willis is the hero. That makes Samuel the bad guy, right? Took me 3 seconds to work that out, and I was drunk)

Signs? Good, but not great. And certainly not a horror movie.

The Village? LAME AS FUCK! How many twists can we squeeze in? 2 or 3? How about 4? Maybe more? Kill it! Not a horror.

The Lady in the Water looks excellent and is not a horror movie.

M Night movies are all about the suspense. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes the fact he relies on the big twist fucks it up completely.

Oh, WTF is "a scanner darkly"? Never even heard of it. Who's in it? Director? etc

Superman Returns--9/10

Two complaints:

1. Kate Bosworth sucks at acting.

2. This movie follows the original one way too faithfully and those who see both movies can make obvious comparisons.

Other than that, fantastic movie with great performances by Spacey and Routh. Even if the plot is a little far-fetched.

I saw Lady in the Water Tuesday night at a prescreening. It's a great movie, pretty much a fairy tale. But it really makes you think. I advise seeing it.

I heard from 4 people it was absolutely HORRIBLE! M. Night is fading fast. IMO, he'd had one good movie, The Sixth Sense.

Have you seen Unbreakable.

I've heard that it is just not a horror or the like thing, and people are thinking horror when they think M. Night.

I saw parts of Unbreakable, never the whole thing from start to finish. It didn't really do it for me. Maybe I'm just not a comic book kind of guy.

LOL - if you see any scene featuring Willis and Samuel in Unbreakable it's pretty obvious WTF is gonna happen.

There should have been another "name" actor in there, just for mis-direction.

Good idea for a movie but poorly done IMO.

Same goes with "5 people you meet in Heaven". Good idea, but the flick was boring as fuck.

Another fucking boring movie? Syriana. Looked good but was too fucking slow for me and I wasn't hooked enough to care.

A Scanner Darkly sounds pretty good, too. Thanks for the heads up.

I just saw "the Clearing". It was a very simple movie about a kidnapping. the title of the movie becomes fairly relevent when the ending plays out. I thought it was average, alot of build up to a typical answer.

[Pharaoh]

Is that the one with Paul Newman or Robert Redford?

I think I recall it.

Another fucking boring movie? Syriana. Looked good but was too fucking slow for me and I wasn't hooked enough to care.

After seeing Syriana, I read the books by Robert Baer that Syriana was based on, hoping the movie would make more sense. Hah! While chock full of nifty information and intrigue, the books are even more disjointed than the movie!
