Re: The Happening
Shyamalan has gone from being a director who's movies I felt compelled to go see, to a director who's films I might go see, to a director who's films I have absolutely no desire to see. He has such potential...I kept hoping he'd deliver and he really hasn't since Sixth Sense...and kind of on Unbreakable. I never even saw his last one about that moist lady or whatever, even though it's been on HBO for a while. Don't think I'll be likely see this one either.

Re: The Happening
the lady in the water was pretty stupid, basically it takes place at this random apartment complex and this lady shows up in the pool at night and doesn't really know where she is. she's from some kind of other world or something and she says that somewhere on earth there are 3 or 4 people with titles like 'the protector' 'the doer' 'the master debator' etc. and apparently they all live in the apartment complex. the movie comes to its climax when all the sod around the complex turns out to be these monsters with grass on their back and then this guy that wrote this book about how the world was going to hell has some kind of revolution and then everybody gets saved. or maybe they die. i don't know. i had to drink so much to keep watching it that by the end i was disoriented to say the least.

Re: The Happening
"Signs" is the best alien flick I've ever seen.....
 It was unique in its mundane environment, I just loved it!

Re: The Happening
I should explain myself here...."Alien" is a far better movie, but what makes a perfect alien flick for me is the approach. When it makes you feel it close to you and puts the aliens in our environment instead of putting us in a hostile, unknown alien environment. "Signs" had no huge spaceships, no laser beam fights, no CGI all around.... instead it had tinfoil paper helmets and vhs footage in a remote children's birthday party. And the suspense was very well built and developed. I have yet to know somebody who wasn't scared shitless with the 'they're inside the house' scene.
That said, I'm a bit ambivalent about the aliens showing in the end. Still not sure whether I liked that or not.

Re: The Happening
The way I feel about Shyamalan is that he has some genuinely great popcorn flick ideas - and even some a little deeper than popcorn. His inability to work with other screenwriters/storytellers stunts his ideas and they all end up the exact same way... unfinished. What was Signs about? Aliens? Coincedence? Inevitability? How do you arrive at a conclusion that aliens are killed by water with the whole argument of atmosphere, rain? Another cook in the kitchen could really elevate a few of his stories from meh to entertaining and good.

Re: The Happening
none of his movies make any sense, have any depth,
or point (yes, even 'unbreakable' was horribly bad).. this is no different.. each movie he makes (including the entirely predictable 'sixth sense') crashes, burns, and deflates into a non-experience...like it never existed... m night who? maybe 'stuart little' was the high point for him.. ughhh.. i'll take michael bay, yes even transformers (all of it), anyday.. later -1 Last edited by negative1; 06-21-2008 at 10:55 PM. |
