The next Spielberg?

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2002)

So M. Night Shyamalan is being compared to Steven Spielberg. Well, if you consider that he spends tens of millions to make mediocre garbage, then I agree.
"Signs" was nothing but an exercise in audience manipulation. It's rhythm went something like this: laugh, jump, cry, laugh, jump, cry.
Mostly, I just scratched my head and wondered why I forked over ten bucks to see this nonsense.
"The Sixth Sense" is one of my favorite films of the 1990s. I own the DVD, and I watch it at least 6 or 7 times a year.
The promise that Night showed with "Sixth Sense" has just about evaporated.
As for the next Spielberg, I'm still waiting for the next Orson Welles.
Now THAT would be awesome!
