M. Night Shyamalan loves mystery and science fiction. He definitely is a filmmaker who loves to mix those genres together and push boundaries. He's known for twists and turns. Sometimes, he likes to put that twist almost at the end of the film. He really likes you to sit through it. It worked in this film called "Old". Not that much of a complex film as far as plot and even premise but it's enough. He has a varied cast that tries to solve the mystery but trying to stick together at the same time. I enojyed watching this film just because I was intrigued by the plot and I wanted to see where it can go from its premise. I dig the cast, it's diverse and the characters are smart in their own sense. I do like the personalities of these characters, it reprsents us as a society where our own fallacies that we yet to discover can be our death note. I dig the cinematography, Shyamalan wants us to support these characters and certain shots and staged framing does the trick. But it's not enough to save the film. It's not a bad film. It's good but it's forced at times. Like, we really stick around with these characters a lot and it's not up until the third act, we actually see a great change of events. Writing is hard especially when you have a fair amount characters sharing the screen within each other.Three out of four tokes.

In filmmaking, surprise endings and quests for mysterious objects can derail your movie entirely if not handled well. Today, we take on the best (and worst) plot twists and MacGuffins in cinematic history. We're talkin' final reveals in Psycho and The Sixth Sense, Marcellus Wallace's briefcase in Pulp Fiction, the "one ring to rule them all," and many more. We also discuss the careers of such directors as Alfred Hitchcock, M. Night Shyamalan, and David Fincher, and whether or not being known for plot twists and MacGuffins is a good thing.
Diesmal reden wir über Betteln, MRT, Fernsehfake, Night Shyamalan, Signs, One Piece, Anime, Köche, Pretty Woman, Bumfight, Gladiatoren, Shameless und Musik.

Today we're talking about one of the worst movies by one of Hollywoods most hit or miss directors. M. Night Shyamalan, it's THE HAPPENING!!!
The First Part in our Building a Better Monster Trilogy We welcome M. Night Shyamalan's work to the TiT club with the film where it all started to go wrong for "The Next Spielberg." But you know what (show notes author's note here that nothing subtle ever followed a sentence that starts with YOU KNOW WHAT) we actually like this movie. Just go ahead and put one giant SPOILER ALERT for this episode as we discuss the dashed hopes of Ain't It Cool News posters and the parenting skills of William Hurt. But it's lovely, the romance is lovely, the cinematography is lovely and Adrien Brody is... well, it's better than THE LADY IN THE WATER! Which we promise is not coming to the podcast soon. But it will at some later date. Enjoy the love story in LARPing! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

For the past couple of months (with a brief intermission through folk horror), we've been working our way through the film catalogue of M Night Shyamalan. The landmark successes, the mind-boggling disappointments, the polarizing visions, and -- of course -- all the twists got the Fear of God treatment in individual episodes. Now, we come to the grand finale, a hearty discussion breaking down the highs, the lows, and the memories we made along the way.Presented for you is our definitive exploration of the unique director's two and a half decade career.

Art is all about engaging with the big questions in life, and when it comes to Signs (2002), the M. Night Shyamalan movie is no different. This early aughts sci-fi flick invites important conversations about predestination versus free will, what sins can truly be forgiven, and whether or not being obsessed with female Olympians makes you, as a woman, totally gay. It also gives us baby Abigail Breslin and Rory Culkin, and that's important, too. On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday — and our second to last installment of Alien Month — we're taking a big swing as we break down all those topics and more, including the unnerving nature of America's favorite crop. It's not just a big lump with knobs, folks. References:https://screenrant.com/signs-ending-explained-meaning/https://screenrant.com/signs-movie-theory-creatures-not-aliens/

This week, Joel and Andy watch M. Night Shyamalan's infamous The Last Airbender, which was based on a beloved animated show.
We have another low-budget masterwork from M. Night Shyamalan in the sense he is set free by his budget. A Knock at the Cabin should have generated more attention to how much of a comeback we have from M. Night and the amazing performance he got from Dave Bautista in what might be his greatest role yet.
Buckle up as your friendly neighborhood Dad film critics take a dive into one of the most debated films in recent memory – M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 thriller, "The Happening."This oddball environmental horror flick, starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel, presents a world where nature seems to be mysteriously and violently turning against humanity. From the eerie opening sequence to the downright bizarre moments that follow, we'll unpack what makes "The Happening" so polarizing.We'll dissect Shyamalan's unique style – his masterful suspense-building and those infamous plot twists. Was "The Happening" a misunderstood stroke of genius, a well-intentioned miss, or something else entirely? We'll have a Dad-level debate about whether the film's underlying message about environmental protection lands effectively or gets lost in the eccentric execution.We'll also revel in Mark Wahlberg's unconventional performance as a high-school science teacher. We Dads will have a hearty chat about how his portrayal resonates (or doesn't) and discuss some of the film's most "so bad it's good" moments.We'll also explore the film's themes of panic and survival, relating them to our own Dad instincts – would we be calm protectors of our families in a crisis, or would we find ourselves as baffled as Wahlberg's character?So, grab your plants (they're the only ones you can trust, after all) and join us as we venture into the mysterious and unsettling world of "The Happening." You're tuned into Bad Dads Film Review, where we bring a Dad's wisdom (and humor) to the wild world of cinema. Let's unravel this enigma together!We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com. Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads
(Original Airdate: February 19th, 2018) The Village (marketed as M. Night Shyamalan's The Village) is a 2004 American period thriller film[4] written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, and Brendan Gleeson. The film is about a village whose population lives in fear of creatures inhabiting the woods beyond it, referred to as "Those We Don't Speak Of". The Village received mixed reviews, with many critics expressing disappointment with the twist ending.[5][6] James Newton Howard was nominated for Best Original Score at the 77th Academy Awards. The film was a financial success as it grossed $257 million worldwide against a $60 million production budget.[7] HAIKU-- "They live in the woods. Terrible creatures surround. Refrigerator." - MC
More than ten years after its release, Steve and Andre decided to tackle After Earth, taking us back to the time Will Smith and Jaden Smith tried to make a summer blockerbuster helmed by M. Night Shyamalan. Was it unfairly malinged at the time? As it turns out, no, it wasn't! Our disbelief is palpable in this episode, so we hope you enjoy the carnage.

Banno's favorite director, M. Night Shyamalan, has returned; this time, he brought Drax. Starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, and Ben Aldridge, Knock at the Cabin is about a family that must make an unthinkable choice. That choice is still better than having to watch his precious movie Old again. Listen and find out what we think of M. Night's latest.
We discuss what many consider to be M. Night Shyamalan's worst horror film - The Happening.
We're nearly at the end of #Shyamalamarama, our journey through the catalogue of M. Night Shyamalan. This week's stop is where most people encountered him for the first time: the landmark thriller with the mega-twist, THE SIXTH SENSE. We're joined by Quarterly Queen Jess Fischli to dive into all that's "So" and "Ain't" right about what remains his most successful and noteworthy film. Together, we take a look at all the frights, all the feels, and all the filmmaking staples that would come to define his material. We even spend some time reflecting on what the film makes us feel about death, ghosts, parenting, and growing older in a hearty and heartfelt discussion you won't want to miss.Also featuring a Patron-only discussion of SERVANT, Season 4, Episodes 4-6, this is one we really hope you'll enjoy.3:32 - Business TimePatron Only Segment: SERVANT, Season 4, Episodes 4 - 66:39 - THE SIXTH SENSE ReduxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A family's cabin vacation is interrupted when 4 strangers arrive, telling them they can prevent the apocalypse by making a decision to kill one of their own. Knock at the Cabin is M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie and we believe there's no better way to kick off M. Night Shyamalan month than to discuss this film. We really enjoyed this movie as it was a deviation from Shyamalan's normal work which would feature a crazy twist ending. Bautista crushed it as the lead in the movie and really helped set the tone from the beginning for what was such a wild ride.

The Village was voted on by our patrons who have very good taste, because this M. Night movie still works. @dgoebel00 on Instagram provided this amazing artwork. Follow him and check out his website. https://youtu.be/sTGyhwvdY6k Synopsis The Village is the story of a community that sequestered themselves in the woods to avoid the evils and pain caused by the world at large. Set in the late 1800's the community is full of interesting and varied people. But not all is well in the village - there is an evil that lurks in the forest, kept at bay by certain colors and a tenuous truce that has been struck with the creatures. Ivy Walker (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Lucius Hunt (Joaquin Phoenix) fall in love and are set to be married when a violence occurs, leaving Lucius close to death.The blind Ivy must face the terrors in the woods and the evils of society in order to save her new love. Everyone gets more irony than they bargained for. Review The Village is a fun thriller with a stellar cast and some interesting concepts. The acting is interesting and well performed, the script is slow and intentional, and it provides lots of fall atmosphere. A lot of people bag on movies by M. Night Shyamalan that aren't The Sixth Sense, but honestly they aren't giving him his due. The Village explores interesting emotional territory in allegory. It poses the questions of building emotional walls by putting up real walls. Watch The Village (2004)Buy or Rent on AmazonClick Here to Watch It's also a really fun period piece to boot. Where else can you find Sigourney Weaver, Joaquin Phoenix, Bryce Dallas Howard, Adrien Brody, Brendan Gleeson, Judy Greer, and Jesse Eisenberg all in one place? The thing that I cherish most about this movie is the devotion to atmosphere. It's spooky and stark, set in the woods of New England and it just feels like Halloween. The creature design is effective and the scares are appropriate for young and old alike. Score 9/10

It's part two of our naturally horrifying film fiasco as we pit The Birds vs The Happening. So it's time to ask ourselves what is happening in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening! A science teacher (who happens to be Mark Wahlberg) and his family are trying to escape a plague that causes people to commit suicide once infected.It's dark... and possibly meant to be funny but we're not really sure. The real question is which of nature's forces will come out on top?***Please rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Welcome back! We're doing the twist again on #Shyamalamarama where we're making our way through the catalog of M. Night Shyamalan! This week, we discuss two of his most highly regarded films: Unbreakable (for the first official time in FoG canon) and Split (redux from our episode on it in 2017). We're joined by Holding Court's Dave Courtney for a robust conversation about the place these films hold in the canon of Shyamalan, the surprising ways they ignited audiences with their unexpected connections, and the way they explore our best worst versions of ourselves.Also featuring a Patron-only segment about SERVANT Season 3, episodes 1 through 3, this is a hearty discussion that we really hope you enjoy.3:05 - Business TimePatron Only Segment: SERVANT, Season 3, Episodes 1 - 34:56 - The Unbreakable and Split Connection16:05 - UNBREAKABLE43:19 - SPLITSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Over the years we have discussed the selective and predictive programming in music, movies, television, etc., in regard to everything from UFOs to human trafficking and child abuse. The movie Independence Day, released July 3, 1996, seemed to predict the appearance of a city-sized UFO, which manifested in Phoenix as the infamous ‘Phoenix Lights' on March 13, 1997. The movie Nope seemed to predict the shooting down of objects over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron, one of which had “strings hanging off” of it like in the movie UFO. Movies like Spotlight and the Sound of Freedom show us the underbelly of sexual abuse and trafficking. During the pandemic the top movies were Contagion, 28 Days Later, and 12 Monkeys. A 2022 Netflix film called White Noise, about a train carrying toxic chemicals derailing in a small Ohio town, was brought to life when on February 3, 2023, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the same town, East Palestine, Ohio, which was used for filming the movie crash. M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin did something similar with plane crashes and earthquakes. In fact, the movie was released on the day of the Ohio train wreck, February 3rd. The next day a FedEx cargo plane almost landed on a commercial Southwest flight. A week later an American Airlines flight ran into a bus on the taxiway. A few days later a report came out about a United Airlines flight that fell 1,400ft out of the sky after take off from Hawaii. Long after the movie was shot, but before release, two other planes almost collided at JFK and before that the NOTAM system went down grounding flights nationwide. In the middle of all this, three days after the movie release, a massive 7.8 earthquake rocked Turkey and opened up an enormous chasm in the earth. The movie ends with fire beginning to engulf the earth, a prelude to the upcoming movie Oppenheimer. These are themes also in the upcoming Dune 2 and Fallout tv adaption. The new Wes Anderson movie Asteroid City is now setting the stage, literally, for an excepted flop and expected hit, i.e. the Barbie movie and Oppenheimer, both set to be released on July 21, 2023. Asteroid City is really a movie about a play, wherein the actors and audience move in-between sets, between what is real and what is staged. In Asteroid City there are quarantines, aliens, doorways between worlds, and in the background atomic bombs, disassociate from reality. In the Barbie movie promos the character stands within a mirror. The backdrops and sets are also similar, even in the pastel-like colors, to the Barbie movie, which is obviously about Barbie Land and how dolls with no human essence journey into the world of humans. In one scene there are two X's stacked on top of each other, perhaps signifying the XX chromosomes of women, of which Barbie does not have. She is plastic, a doll, and not real. The point is that in a fake world the only thing that matters is the mask and outward appearance, and thus one can be a man or woman by choice. Also, in the Barbie movie there is supposedly a map showing China's claimed territory of Vietnam which prompted that country to ban the movie. How interesting is it then that Barbie is provoking fears of atomic war and its release date is on the same day as Oppenheimer, which is about the atomic bomb. A similar thing happened in Christopher Nolan's movie Dark Knight Rises, released July 20, 2012, when one of the strike zones in the city was listed on a map as Sandy Hook - like the shooting on December 14, 2012. Interestingly, July 20 was also the Aurora, Colorado, shooting which took place during a screening of Nolan's new Batman movie. The release of these two movies on the same day contrasts the fake world of PINK with the real world of BLACK, themes that can be found all throughout pop-culture, from the Powerpuff Girls in the 1990s, which features black goo and three homunculi, one of which is pink, to recent hit songs like Pink Venom, from the band BLACKPINK, which features black apples, black goo, broken mirrors signifying split personalities, along religious and mythic imagery. One line is “the fire that'll slowly put you to sleep.” A year prior to Pink Venom an article from Reuters out of Japan stated the following of Moderna shots: “Black substances were spotted in syringes and a vial, with pink substances found in another syringe, the health ministry said.”The innocence and purity of pink mixed with mysterious chemicals, massive explosions, etc., create mutations that turn us into something not human – something barbaric or mutated by radiation. That's what media and movies do, be it through coincidence, predictive programming, movie magic, or retro causality. The question is do you prefer the womblike matrix of Barbie or the real world of Oppenheimer that is about to be engulfed in flames? Will you take the high heel or Birkenstock, the blue pill or the red? Will you be human or turn over the codes to Zion for a steak and glass of wine?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
We all know and love M. Night Shyamalan as a world renowned director, producer and actor who was labeled “the next Spielberg” by Newsweek in 2002. His films have grossed over $3 billion globally with cult classics like The Sixth Sense which received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, Signs, The Last Airbender, and The Unbreakable Series. We may also be fans of Saleka, his daughter who is a singer songwriter and wrote an original song for his recent release, Old, with a voice smooth as silk reminiscent of old school R&B. But today, I'm honored to interview M. Night's wife, Bhavna Vaswani Shyamalan, who is the silent strength of the family and is the glue who is keeping it all together. For more than 15 years, Bhavna Shyamalan, PhD, has served in her role as co-founder and vice-president of the M. Night Shyamalan Foundation. The foundation focuses on discovering and supporting grassroots leaders around the world who are moving depressed communities out of poverty and oppression. These global leaders are empowering their communities by supporting social justice, equality, and access to basic needs such as food, water, and education. A deep belief in human-dignity and freedom as a birthright, as well as in our joint responsibility to become participants in the fight for social equity and justice, have been Dr. Shyamalan's driving force in creating and steering the efforts of the foundation. With an international upbringing and global perspective, Dr. Shyamalan has developed a keen awareness of the power of poverty to determine the life course of individuals, families, and communities by severely limiting opportunity and choice. The foundation leaders work to eliminate those barriers. More recently, Dr. Shyamalan has focused her foundation on helping the most disenfranchised communities; the forgotten and “disposable' people entrapped and exploited by modern day slavery and human trafficking. Although born in India, Bhavna was raised in Hong Kong before her family moved to the U.S. An immigrant herself, Dr. Shyamalan is keenly aware of the challenges posed to immigrants in any new country. Having travelled widely, however, her exposure to different people and cultures has not only reinforced her belief in the gift diversity brings, but also deepened her commitment to valuing each individual life. Dr. Shyamalan oversees the foundation's international grants, the implementation of its vision and mission, strategic growth, fundraising, and overall operations. Additionally, DR. B (as she is known in the fitness world) is co-owner at Vibe Vault Fit, a boutique fitness & wellness studio in PA, and has been teaching Dance Fitness classes since 2011. Dr.B's believes working out can be inspired, and should address health and fitness in all aspects, including body, mind, spirit. In addition to teaching dance fitness classes, Dr. B also manages the “mind” and “spirit” side of Vibe Vault Fit, running workshops, and talking about how to uplift our lives through the Vibe Vault Fit podcasts and blogs. Her vision for Vibe Vault Fit is to promote a warm community, that will walk together toward a healthier, more fulfilling, and extraordinary life. Dr. B sees wellness, like happiness, as a mindset. Her goal is to help you make your own wellness a priority and claim the life that is waiting for you. Earlier in her career, Dr. Shyamalan worked as a therapist in the counseling centers of Swarthmore College and St. Joseph's University. She earned her doctorate in Clinical Developmental Psychology from Bryn Mawr College and her B.A. in psychology from New York University.
