More M. Night Shyamalan movies that I have seen

There are two more M. Night Shyamalan movies that I have seen.

The first one is The Village. Rating: PG 13

I saw this movie pretty recently and every thought I have about it uses the word pretty. I thought it was pretty good, pretty weird, pretty scary, and pretty not enough action. I know that last sentence didn't make sense, but that's my thought on it.

After seeing this one, I realized that M. Night Shyamalan likes using the same actors in his movies. He reuses Joaquin Phoenix from Signs, and he uses the lady from Lady in the Water. Bruce Willis is also in Lady in the Water...or maybe he's in Unbreakable. I don't remember, but you get the point. The end was a lot scarier than the beginning, which means in my opinion usually, that the end is better, and this case is usual. I give this movie a 7 and a half out of 10.



The last movie I saw was The Happening. Rating: R



I can describe this movie in only one word: Graphic!!! There was a part where a man set a lawn a mower on himself and you expect the camera to turn away but it doesn't. This movie got terrible reviews, because people said it was anti-evolution. I didn't really think so; I thought it was actually pretty good. It was nice and disturbing just how I like, and the end was so awesome. I'm not gonna give it away though. What I noticed in this one was that M. Night Shyamalan likes to put very little language and sex/nudity in his movies. This one really scared me because what if everyone started killing themselves.

These are the four M. Night Shyamalan movies that I have seen. Let me note that he is one of my favorite writers/directors.

M. Night Shyamalan Movies that I have seen

Recently, I saw four of M. Night Shyamalan's movies.

The first one I saw was called The Sixth Sense. Rating: PG 13

This movie was awesome! It was SO creepy. The scariest part was when the kid saw the dead kid and a part of his head was missing. This is probably my favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie, because of how it draws you in. I could not take my eyes away from the screen. The surprise ending was kind of predictable, but it was still cool.
M. Night Shyamalan makes every moment in this movie frightening, even the parts that weren't supposed to be scary. It was the perfect combination. Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment.
This movie got 80% good reviews; I guess the critics agreed with me, except I probably would have given it better.

The next movie will be Signs. Rating: PG 13

This movie was still pretty good, although not as good as The Sixth Sense, it had some good scares and a decent script. I think Mel Gibson might have ruined a few scenes with his religious preachiness. (By the way, Joaquin Phoenix is a way better actor than Mel Gibson.
The part where the dad goes into the little girl's room and then he sees the alien on the roof is freaky! Also when the alien walks through the ally at the birthday.
I overall liked it. I really liked how you never really found out how the girl could kind of tell the future, and I'm not sure, but at the end when the alien was in their house, I thought I saw a picture of the girl on its back.
Signs got 70% good reviews, so the critics still liked it. I thought M. Night Shyamalan had too big of a part in this movie. I think that instead of him playing Ray Reddy, he could have played the man that was mean to Merill in the store.
Since I don't have very much time, I've decided to write about the other two M. Night Shyamalan movies I've seen in another post.

Weekend at Bernie's. Rating: PG 13

So a little while ago I saw a movie called Weekend at Bernie's. It was from 1989, so it is one of the first PG 13 movies. Speaking of which, yesterday I found out that the first PG 13 movie ever made was Red Dawn. This movie actually had some really funny moments and kept me entertained, so I really liked it. My brother and mom both liked it too. It had kind of an odd plot, but that just made it more funny.

By the way, Kids-In-Mind.com does not tell you the ratings of older movies, so it was very hard to find the rating of this movie. But I still do recommend that site.

Wait... I'm just getting word from one of my associates that Weekend at Bernie's got 50% good reviews. So the critics did not like it as much as me, but it was still a great movie.

It's one of the only old movie that's really funny that I've seen. I definitely recommend it.

Ice Spiders. Rating: TV 14

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've kind of forgotten. Anyway, not posting for a long time gives me a lot to write about. The first movie that I'm going to talk about that I saw recently is called Ice Spiders. It was about giant spiders that escaped from a lab and killed people. If you're wondering about the TV rating, it's because it was a sci-fi channel original movie-although it did have a movie rating too. Strangely, it was R, and are movies are usually TV MA not TV 14. Anyway, back to the plot. The catch is that the spiders can survive in the cold, which is where they've escaped. Hence the name "Ice Spiders." All reviews I can find say that the movie was terrible. Frankly, I pretty much agree. Maybe I don't think it was the most terrible movie in the world like some sources say, but it definitely wasn't good. No. Not good. Me and my dad were having a good time guessing what was going to happen by the "Hollywood Rules." There was one teenager that I really liked because when everyone was stuck in the lodge, he was all like, " This is so totally extreme. Radical man." I looked on Rotten Tomatoes and this movie got 100% good reviews! Of course, it only got one review... Anyway is was kind of fun to watch. See you next time!

Charlie Bartlett

I am going to talk about the movie Charlie Bartlett. Rating:R (Warning! This contains spoilers!)

I saw this movie recently and these are my thoughts on it: The movie, great. The plot, kind of depressing. When I say the plot I mean the main plot. There are some smaller plots earlier in the movie, but they solve quickly and in my opinion, that makes the movie more enjoyable. The movie is very enjoyable as it is, but if you think about it, the genre of this movie is fantasy!
To sell prescription drugs to teenagers and expect them to use them responsibly is an unreal thought. In fact, one of the mini-plots includes someone overdosing. I personally love Robert Downey Junior, so I'm glad he was in this movie. The main plot includes him losing his job and being sad and drunk.
The movie did well in the box office, and got 55% good reviews on Rottentomatoes.com, so it wasn't the best movie ever, but in my opinion, it was very nice to watch.
I think the title was a very good choice, because if it was called something like "The Drug Dealer" people would think it would be a "French Connection" kind of movie, and if you call it something like, "The Kid Psychiatrist" then people would think it would be a movie version of one of those cheesy books made for eight and nine-year-olds.
I thought it was a really funny movie. I especially like this piece of dialogue:
Some guy Charlie is helping: I can't handle this place.
Charlie: Well duh dude this place sucks.
I would definantly reccomend this movie. If they could fit Adam Sandler in that movie somewhere it would be absolutely perfect.
That's all!

21. Rating: PG 13

Now I'm going to talk about the hit movie 21!



Although this movie got 34% good reviews, I thought it was excellent, my family thought is was excellent, and all my friends who saw it thought it was excellent. I don't understand how you couldn't like it. It had everything. Good actors, a good script, some great laughs, and it even taught me how to play blackjack.
I don't know how to card count, and the one thing I didn't really like about this movie was that they didn't make it very clear what their system was.
I thought it was the perfect length, and the movie was well paced. I would definitely recommend this movie. The thing that would really top it off would be to make a sequel to this movie called 22!
I thought Jim Sturgess did a great job acting, and I thought he was the perfect actor for the college kid who's a nerd and then gets cool.
As I said, I still can't card count, and I don't get the split-hand rule in blackjack, but I thought 21 was a great movie with some great laughs and a great plot!

Eagle Eye. Rating: PG 13

(Warning! This contains MAJOR spoilers!)

I saw this movie yesterday. I think it would have been more fun to see with a friend. I had been wanting to see it for a while, and I have heard so many reviews that said the plot was "Preposterous." When I saw the movie I didn't think it was preposterous, more ridiculous.
I liked the movie, especially the beginning, but I kind of thought that it was a let down finding out that it was a computer calling them.
This movie did absolutely fantastic in the box office, but got terrible reviews about 28%, being of course, because the plot was preposterous.
To prove my point, my favorite parts were the very beginning and the very end. I also liked when that guy blew up.
At the end, I thought Jerry was gonna die when he got shot. IT seemed like that kind of movie, but I guess I was wrong.
I really admired every one's performance, especially Shia Labeouf, and if you can answer this question, please put it in the comments section: Does he do his own stunts?
This seemed like a very popular movie. A lot of my friends saw it and they all liked it. That's it!
