    I loved the sixth sense.
    Unbreakable, was a let down, i expected to much, still an ok movie.
    Signs and The village Terrible movies. A stand up comedian in holland made a great bit about the movie signs, and he is spot on.

    Not sure if i will watch this movie.

    WORST.MOVIE.EVER. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    1. Did anybody else think Zack Morris called a timeout at the beginning of the movie, in fact whenever a "group" froze up and that he was actually the nemesis behind the whole thing?

    2. Does John Leguizamo brush his teeth with Country Crock?

    3. Mark Wahlberg as a science teacher?

    4. I had dessert with Joey, I bought cough syrup from Linda.

    4. Oh, let's talk to the plants. It helps. Stupid hippies.

    5. Stupid Army guy.

    6. Crazy old woman.

    7. I love you and wanna be with you.

    8. You find out this was a damn movie about global warming and plants evolving to attack us. I was like, is the "The Wizard of Oz?"

    9. It happens again.

    Co-sign. This movie was utter trash. Its only redeeming quality is the high level of unintentional comedy.

    Critics don't usually pan a movie on moral grounds unless it's something completely out there like Vincent Gallo getting a real BJ from Chloe Sevigny in the Brown Bunny. Even then, Ebert reversed course on that when Gallo edited the movie down from it's over indulgent original running length.

    Critics are bashing the Happening because it is terrible. I think the best thing I read was one person saying that this is the kind of movie drunk college kids will rent to watch as a group and make fun of.

    Tell you what, when it comes out on video, we'll all watch it together and crack jokes the whole time. We just spent a good 15 minutes making fun of this movie.

    I'm not sure they could've fit another "happening" in there.

    I loved Unbreakable and have always felt that it was unfarily compared to The Sixth Sense. If that's how we're going to judge his movies, it's Citizen Kane now.

    M. Night is about two movies away from directing softcore p*rn on Cinemax.

    I was referring to some of the criticism leveled at Black Snake Moan. Read some of those reviews on rotten tomatoes.

    I think it was ok. This movie definitely had Hitchcock all over it. It sort of had that feel of "The Birds". I think I' am the only one that liked Lady in the Water I thought it was awesome, too bad his movies marketed the wrong way now.

    that movie was horrible......it was like ran out ideas and just left it as is.

    sixth sense and unbreakable were his 2 good movies. the others including this one are trash.

    lol when i saw the trailer the first time, i was like "omg, he's coming out with another movie?!?"

    then as they kept playing trailers it got more interesting and i was almost going to go watch it, but after yall all said it was horrible, im going to skip it and maybe watch the incredible hulk instead

    I don't like his movies and I especially don't like the way he tries to make shameless cameo appearances in them.

    His next movie will finally be a break from his usual stuff. He's adapting a kids cartoon Avatar: the Last Airbender. It'll be a good way to see what he's made of as he tries using different directorial muscles.

    The only thing good to come from his movies


    Jim: Okay, you know what, Dwight. What if you got a really serious disease like Ebola.
    Dwight: Psssh, no.
    Jim: Well, it could happen. Have you ever seen the movie Outbreak?
    Dwight: Yeah. Well, have you ever seen the movie Unbreakable? 'Cause that guy couldn't get sick, just like me.
    Jim: Okay. Have you ever seen the movie Sixth Sense? Maybe you are already dead.
    Dwight: Unlikely.
