Here's my big critique with After Earth (and Shamalamadingdongditch). If the Ursa can smell fear, Cypher could feel every other emotion and still be a character. Near the climax he could finally express fear for his son's life, potentially putting himself at risk. Once his kid shows he can mask his fear too, it would be proof that Cypher can retire.

They aren't Aliens. They are demons. The movie is about faith. You never see the spaceships, only lights in the sky. Birds falling to earth is a sign of the apocalypse. Dogs are turned feral, like Hell hounds. The Middle East (birthplace of Christianity) found an primitive way to defeat the creatures. They display no technology, only a biological weapon. They are defeated by water, drank by a girl with special foresight and who was called an ANGEL at birth (Holy Water). How do you think the population would initially view a demon attack? As an invasion from another planet... but there are SIGNS that it's something else.

In “Signs” whether or not the movie is bad, that military guy was 100% an alien because he was trying his best to act like a human based off what he knows and engage in “human small talk. The guy becomes the slightest bit suspicious with his eyes so then the military guy alien starts riding his nuts about his past. There’s a small foreshadowing when they say “you got the record right? “Got the bat at home”. The alien disguises their plan to”check things out and grow” as the military plan. He’s even holding a perhaps empty cup of coffee to look natural when he walks in as if he was drinking it but never sips it. To top it all off… we know they camouflage and perhaps shapeshift.

Is there a reason Devil isn't in here? Is it because Shyamalan wrote it and not directed it? I mean Stuart little I understand but Devil has his fingerprints all over it. Need we be reminded of Jelly side down

Know what's sad about after Earth? It had potential to be a very gripping father-son drama. Think about it, they could have emphasized more that Will Smith's character getting rid of his fear dulled or nearly got rid of his emotions making it harder for him to express himself around his wife and especially towards his son. They could have shown that it's a sacrifice he made to guarantee a better world for his family. Maybe make Jaden Smith's character following in his Father's footsteps as a way to try and bond with his dad but Will Smith does not want his son to make the same sacrifice he did. But then they get caught in the situation where Will Smith's character is incapacitated and he has to teach his son how to get rid of his fear so they can survive, pretty much forcing his own son to make the same sacrifice he did. Have Will Smith's character have a dialog with his son where he shows genuine sadness and fear in his voice towards his son having to get rid of his emotions and explaining how he doesn't want that life for him. I think that could have been an amazing movie, keeping the alien sci-fi stuff as a background to a father-son drama.

The Last Airbender is one of my favorite videos from y'all yo😂

You can even argue that Shyamalan's downfall began already with Unbreakable, at least it was anticipated there. It is an overall excellent movie, but _so f*cking bizarre._ Extremely serious, gloomy and depressing as if it was a script by Ingmar Bergman. And it turns out to be a superhero origin story...

If you want to see how you can make awkward and ambivalent dialogue work as caring and endearing look to Wes Anderson,

Here's a question for will Smith. If you write a scenario to help your son develop his acting career, then make a scenario that gives him ample occasion to show his acting talent. DONT make a movie where you are required not to show various convincing emotions

There's a big storm here tonight, so this is a pleasant surprise to pass some time 😊

Shyamalan does have a problem with telling more than showing in many cases however even with this he has a tendency to have actually hidden content in all of his movies. But I can easily understand that unfortunately unless you are paying lots of attention to the movies it's very easy to miss the majority of the extra content.

17:28 The pantry door rant! 🤣🤣

I'm glad Signs was made only because it gave us Scary Movie 3. The scene with "The dogs are acting strange" destroyed me in the theater.

Ah, I see now that by "All the Shyamalan Movies" you meant all the bad ones. 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Stuart Little' being absent from this review-a-thon led me to this conclusion.

I watched all morning in anticipation of your critique of my favorite poorly made film, The Lady In The Water. I was in tears, nearly choked on my breakfast, laughed until I lost my breath. If I can still get a signal I want to be watching your channel as the world ends 😂 😂😂😂

I need this rereleased with it having actually having all the NC Shyamalan reviews.

I'm French and I've seen every Shyamalan movies in theatres with Friends, during those events where the price of the ticket is lower at 1 euro after the first ticket bought full Price, and I am so thankful for Lady in the Water and the Happening.... My favorite parts were the jump scares on the sprinklers when the demon dog thingy is Always Seen coming a mile away and the cereal kid, For the Happening, it's the super serious fight with no emotion when we learn that the relationship issue is due to Zoé Deschanel eating a tiramisu with some guy named Joey, Couldn't tell if the issue was with the tiramisu or the random dude.. I remember Signs fondly because I Saw it with my now deceased dad, and we honestly thought it was a comedy and had a good time with it.. He loved unbreakable, I wish he got the chance to see Split, he would have been like a child at the end The village I was just pissed because I thought it was a horror movie, it was advertised as one but nope, yet, there is one scene I loved, when the blind girl stays at the door for her lover, hand out the door when the Fake Monsters arrive, I thought that was Moving and chilling ... Glass had too much potential to be that half assed and The Visit I really liked Devil and After Earth I had no Idea were MNS's work, but crazy toast Guy was Amazing, the other one I fell asleep halfway through ... I still love him though, he is amazing, So are your reviews !

"Mid-Sized Sedan" is truly the funniest rapper name anyone could have. How can anyone say that name with a straight face?!

"Tarentinoing" is about making characters more human and relatable. Does every real world conversation have a point? God I wish...

To be fair about SIgns, its nothing but a tension filled thriller about the most quiet alien invasion ever. Its a masterpiece, and understated amish thriller with english. You just have to go with it. Not saying that he had any great movies after sixth sense, signs, and the bruce willis thing, but this is one of the goodies.

I don't know if you've done a NC about this movie yet, but one that audiences absolutely went gaga over in 1996 was Independence Day. It was right at the height of Jeff Goldblum mania (three years after Jurassic Park, and a year before The Lost World).
