M. Night Shyamalan Happens
After the disaster that was Lady in the Water, seems like M. Night Shyamalan’s backers have got another marketing trick up their sleeve as they release his latest film, The Happening: Promote the hell out of the fact that it’s the director’s first R-rated movie. It’s probably not enough of an incentive to outdo The Incredible Hulk as the summer season box office continues to heat up, but the reviews so far have been on Shyamalan’s side. As the sci-fi auteur awaits the final tallies, MM takes a look at the roller coaster ride Shyamalan has taken critics and audiences on since The Sixth Sense.
Haley Joel Osment saw dead people, but audiences didn’t see a twist ending coming in Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense. The film grossed more than $661 million worldwide, and Hollywood’s newest “it” boy was born.

M. Night Shyamalan is a genius. I will continue to watch his films whether it is a box office hit or not.
