I'd like to think otherwise.

I thought "Signs" was a very good movie. Yes, the aliens were quite wimpy (come on, spraying gases from the wrists?) but I never thought that the erratic habit of the little girl by leaving glasses of water everywhere could eventually turn into their best weapon. The portrayal of despair and fear by Mel Gibson was much better dealt compared to Tom Cruise in the War of the Worlds.

"Unbreakable" is another underrated gem. thumbup.gif

In fact, Signs was my favorite Shymalan movie.

I'll give this a try. I rather have Shymalan trying out these kind of movies than Lady in the Water and The Village. Can't imagine a twist ending here though rolleyes.gif And judging from the trailer and previews, looks a lot like Signs which is a good thing biggrin.gif

Unfortunately the reviews have not been good for this movie.

The Village is a crap movie? I LOVE that movie. I just dont get the 'felt cheated' complaint regarding the movie.
The keyword for that movie is 'cheating'. The elders wants to escape the real 'bad' world so they create a world of their own, therefore, cheating the young ones to stay in the village and away from the real world.

If u say, Lady In the Water as a crap movie, I'm half-agree on that. Heh.

Ok maybe its just me since I'm a diehard fan of M. Night Shyamalan. I think he's one of the most brilliant directors out there. Some ppl might not like his style because u need to flex ur brain muscle to watch his movies. LOL.

No the Village was bad in so many levels. Bad lazy writing where Shymalan just cheated the shit out of us with a stupid twist and we had to tolerate seeing his piss poor cameo. Do it subtly - not everyone wants to see you. rolleyes.gif
