I'd really like to see what he would do with a script from someone else because his movies always have really strong moments but ultimately reveal themselves as giant bum nuggets.Britardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542391733186734506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-27982367169776277492008-11-29T22:06:00.000-05:002008-11-29T22:06:00.000-05:00Yeah it's a pretty easy target, i gotta say.Yeah it's a pretty easy target, i gotta say.Worsenfunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060470594121250159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-759331467951408932008-11-29T21:21:00.000-05:002008-11-29T21:21:00.000-05:00apparently i must stay far far away from this one ...apparently i must stay far far away from this one indeed. Jules looked over to me moments ago and for no reason brought up how much he detests this flick.<BR/><BR/>i turned to him and said "yeah, i know you told me"<BR/>to which he replied<BR/>"i just can't believe how bad it was you know? it was awful."<BR/><BR/>I've had costumers throw this one across the counter at me telling me what a steamer it is.<BR/><BR/>too bad, i was never too big of an M. Night fan. i didn't like the 6th sense, i saw signs in the theater and couldn't sleep for a week i was so scurred. I know the twist with the water is lame. but uh, hanging out in a basement while aliens are running around is the most terrifying thing i've ever heard. fuck. aliens are fucking freaky man. but yeah signs was bad.<BR/><BR/>but UNBREAKABLE is one of my fave films of all time. With that picture he really does prove he is worthy of being heralded as the new Hitchcock.<BR/>Village was weak, only because the twist was shit. that idea of monsters around a village, fuck that's a cool idea.<BR/>and whatever to this. yes... <BR/>oh who's seen lady in the water? is that any good?<BR/><BR/>ok i gotta sniff this sharpie for a bit. ciao ciaoDropkickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565072310591097997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-55021980428270485942008-11-29T21:06:00.000-05:002008-11-29T21:06:00.000-05:00Besides missing the POW!POW! twist factor of Shama...Besides missing the POW!POW! twist factor of Shamalama's other films, there was actually just no climax at all. I suppose the point where you think they'll all die is meant to be that moment, but it falls so flat. I think this one might have been at least PASSABLE if you hadn't known the ENTIRE film what the secret was - from the very beginning we get all the cheesy shots of wind blowing through trees and bushes and crap, and then there's the plant-talking crazy, there's no question at any point in this movie what it is that's making people kill themselves. And to further lamify the movie was the Zooey/Marky drama - which wasn't really a drama at all but merely the fact that she went out to dinner with some guy? Super lame. And marky mark as a chemistry teacher? I'd believe the Sixth Sense was truth before I believed that.Chandleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421394992529212822noreply@blogger.com
