Earth to M. Night Shyamalan: you should have quit while you were ahead!

Rating: 2/10 (13 October 2008)

Following the masterpiece that was "The Sixth Sense", M. Night Shyamalan directed the still worthwhile "Unbreakable"...and has pretty much gone downhill from there. "Lady in the Water" was tolerable, but "Signs"? It could have at least used some scientific continuity! I haven't seen "The Village", but having watched "The Happening", I have doubts. Even though this movie offers a possible explanation of some events in the world, nothing makes it worthwhile. I'll give Shyamalan just one more chance to make a good movie; if his next one sucks, then I am totally shutting Shyamalan out of my memory. Maybe he was a one trick pony.
Long story short: avoid this one. Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo are not helping their careers by appearing in such flicks.
PS: Betty Buckley played the gym teacher in "Carrie".
