Had to quote my Mom--that's what she had to say coming out of The Village . Here's what I have to say: Hey, Night, you know that trick some people can do, where they pull out the tablecloth from underneath a fully set table, without knocking anything over? Yeah. That's cool. You know what else is cool? Sitting down to a nice dinner.
OK. Maybe I'm stretching the metaphor a little there. I just think he should try making a movie that isn't dependent on the fact that there's a twist in there. Move on, man. Move on.

Don't give it away!
I haven't seen it but I still have nightmares about the alien from that scene in Signs where you see one lope by an alley way.
I still don't get the part where they come up out of the basement after the alien attack and find the front door all full of shapes like stars, and moons. The only theory I can come up with is that the aliens brought their wives who were really into scrapbooking and they cut those shapes out of the door to go into their albums next to commemorative photographs of their invasion.

perhaps something is wrong with me, but i cant stand a shamalamadindong movie. not even one, well--did he do the one about the creepy little boy? i liked that one ok, but only because i like any feature including a creepy kid, especially if the creepy kid is singing or wearing a white nightgown, or on a playground or riding a tricycle around and around and around in circles or something.
I've come to realize I can't stand shylamydong movies either. "Sixth Sense" was ok, even though I knew the twist the minute he looked into the medicine cabinet and saw his wife's Prozac. For some reason that gave it away for me. But "Unbreakable" was...Unbearable! HA AHAHAHAH. And "Signs" was just dumb. If the whole movie was like that one "Spookiest Home Video" clip it would have been cool. But the water thing? LAME.
And "The Village"...I won't give anything away, but the sounds of groaning and "Oh, brother"s from the audience will probably be more memorable.
I think the twist in "Signs" was that there was a much better movie going on every where else but on that farm.
omg - that was my though on seeing that piece of absolute tripe. But Colonial House was WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better.
The movie line of the year has to be:
"I don't think that coyotes can reach that high!"
said in hushed tones and abject horror by Sigourney Weaver's character.
Tripe.
