M. Night Shyamalan is now a household name, what with his nomination for Oscars.

But there are some facts about him that many of us are not aware.

For instance, did you know that Sixth Sense is his thirdfilm?

And that he acted in the lead role in his first film?

Sixth Sense was his best IMO and i liked Signs more than Unbreakable

Signs & The Sixth Sense defo my favourites. The scene in Signs with the alien at the kids party! BRILLIANT! I can remember the whole cinema yelped at that scene.

The Village was pretty decent too. I didn't see the twist coming. Unbreakable didn't really do anything for me.

The Lady In The Water & The Happening (I didn't want to watch this film after the reviews I'd read, but I decided to put myself through it last year on my flight to India) are just plain silly. Hopefully, his next movie Avatar: The Last Airbender will be a bit better. He's stepping out of his usual genre, adapting a cartoon series, so it should be interesting.

I find Signs did not measure up to the others. Like PR, I found Unbreakable very interesting. Pretty unique take on comic book heroes and villain.

The Village was interesting too. Didn't see the others.

Mel Gibson is not one of my favourite actors.
So when he was brooding at length I found it quite dull. That he quits religion, gets back - didn't make a big impact. And the crop circle thing was not 'spooky' actually. It was kinda slow and eventless, so I lost interest after some time.

MNS movies are pretty much known for being a little dull and slow moving .... tats his style probably ... but i wouldnt say its such boring

.... we cannot expect an Independence Day from MNS .... Mel isnt tat bad on this ... its actually tough for a hollywood guy to be just motionless - action less etc ..... adhunaala appadi irundhirukkumo ennamo .....

It was supposed to be thrilling if not spooky IMO. As Bingle'na said it's his style of film making...

and A Man without A Face - what u have to say about them???

Braveheart good but not as great as it is being made out to be
Passion... pretty boring
MWAF Haven't seen this

As an actor he is actually quite enjoyable in some lighter movies like Lethal Weapon movies. 'What women want' are pretty interesting in parts

Watching Sean Connery on TV
SC: Ashoshiashon
MG: Ashoshiashon ? I thought it was association
