When what I really want is another "Unbreakable"....
There are few movies I can watch again and again; Unbreakable is on that list. M. Night Shyamalan was at the top of his game then. He's still young and I'm sure has a lot of good creativity in him. It makes me sad when the critics crucify a filmmaker. That must take a strong spirit to endure a fan's being let down, and telling you in detail just how badly you've let him down.
"Seeing a Shyamalan has become this horrifically abusive relationship where I desperately cling to the belief that if I keep loving him, he'll stop hitting me." Collider.com
I'll watch it anyway, just like I'd watch anything of Wes Anderson's, knowing I'll probably never see another Rushmore. And I may even watch The Happening in the theater, just to support his next film in the hope.....

But why do we have to be wowed with more and bigger twists from one filmmaker?
I may see The Happening this weekend (or maybe the Zohan). It crossed my mind today, I dare say, what if Shyamalan is doing this on purpose? Making movies with growing suspense and then give us no shoe to drop? Silly thought, I know.
