Big deal. When I was 17, I was watching movies.

Sidle back behind that tree, Slender Man! The internet has a new favorite creepypasta obsession

It is probably good that there is no “Jews in Space” since at least one congresswoman took that to be a documentary.

have him die in a fiery explosion that makes it clear that he can never return

Dexter: Origins that’s all about… Dexter’s origins.

I just found out Yellowstone existed this year. There are 5 seasons and 3 spin-offs with another in the works? There is too much TV being created.

Unbreakable has aged so much better than Sixth Sense for me, but I would still put both in the top two. I suppose I can’t fault a movie that doesn’t have the same impact once you know the twist, but to me that only reflects better on Unbreakable. There’s a twist, but the film isn’t reliant on it and by that point in…

Hundreds - the story of a diverse group of twenty and thirtysomethings who’ve just received their tax refund.

Even though, I myself, never started that I fell into that category, but wondered anecdotally what the reception of The Village would have been had he not directed it?

Obviously, Shyamalan dug himself a hole as “the twist guy” which is unfortunate because I think that he *can* make decent movies. But there is definitely an issue when people go in expecting a mind-blowing twist because more often than not, twist endings are crappy because they are predictable, crappy because the…

I think M. Night has pigeon-holed himself into having a “twist” into his movies, to his own detriment. I sometimes wonder if The Village would have been more liked had it not been made by him. Going into every Shyamalan movie, the audience is going to be looking out for and trying to second-guess the twist, and often…

I’ll go to bat for The Village. It is one of the most tension filled movies I’ve ever seen. And it’s gorgeously shot. The scene with Howard waiting on the porch for Phoenix to arrive is still one of my all-time favorite movie moments. It’s so beautiful.

Interesting list for a film maker that probably doesn’t deserve one, but it is an interesting discussion.

While I doubt that it will be the movie that gets made, an exploration of how the demands of show business and fame can warp someone as horribly as it warped MJ would be interesting. How a pretty normal, talented kid could be turned into the extremely bizarre and tortured monster that he became is a process that…

Well, there was one glaring thing wrong about it - there was no Karate involved. It was about learning Kung Fu.

absolute insanity having Lady in the Water halfway up this list, it's literally the worst movie I've ever seen. stuff like Glass and Old at the very least plays with some compelling ideas and great camerawork even if they aren't great films, LITW is just absolute huffing-your-own-farts bullshit 

The Happening over The Village is nonsense. Go rewatch both.

The only way to do it right is to make it a film about abuse, obsession and mental illness.

I think it’s hard to top Gibson’s performance, however. For all of the focus on his plot twists, Shyamalan really is at his best in the scenes presenting how people react to growing dread, and Gibson is really good at showing a person trying to be a parent as he grows increasingly sure they’re all going to die. The…

The early montage of their road trip was fairly schizophrenic, too, geographically speaking. The series has done a lot right, from casting to pacing to production design. But the geography depicted so far has been weak, perhaps hamstrung by shooting in Calgary, which doesn’t easily approximate the eastern and…
