I am glad to see that so many here liked Unbreakable as I have always thought it was his best film. But seriously, after paying full price for The Village....I Won't Get Fooled Again!!

I hated the Village the first time I saw it, but on second viewing I realized I was being too hard on it. It's actually a pretty intriguing little Twilight Zone-type story. Lady in the Water I found very amusing, not crappy at all like so many people seem to think, but rather self-consciously odd and certainly unique. I'll give Happening a chance after I see Hulk two or three or eight more times!
Lady in the Water was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life.
Nothing but a self-serving flick to fill Shyamalahack's own ego...everytime he was on screen trying to act, I wanted to punch his face to a bloody pulp...oh I hate that flick with a passion...and don't get me started on that stupid lawn dog, or whatever the hell it was...argh.
The only other movie that's actually worse is Tom Green's Freddie Got Fingered...I just wanna punch Shyamalahack's face...but with Tom Green...I want to actually kill him.
I thought The Happening really sucks big time The story plot is really terrible Who ever heard of young kids getting shot with gunpowder and getting run over by a lawn mower monster IT can do better than that lol It will go flying zooming to the flop pile of DVD Movies soon on believe me
Yeah, Hec, I know, most people feel that way about Lady. It's just up to me to champion those ambitious Hollywood oddities that everyone else despises, like Ang Lee's HULK, Lady in the Water, Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors, and Attack of the Clones. Somehow I always end up fighting for the underdog! (But no, I haven't seen Underdog!)

Who hates "Little Shop of Horrors"? I love that movie! Last Halloween it was part of my all-night monster movie marathon

I went and saw The Happening. The dialogue was incredibally bad and I can't remember when I've seen a movie where the actors were so obviously "acting".
The story wasn't so bad... the creepy elements were well shot and executed. M. Night does have a unique grasp on horror and I enjoy his pacing and understatement but I just couldn't believe that those were the acting performances everybody wanted.
Shyamalan would serve himself well by directing someone else's script. That is, if his ego isn't too big for that. It worrked well for Spike Lee with Inside Man.
