There was one about two lesbian teens in New Zealand who kill one of the teen's mom.
'Heavenly Creatures'. Based on a true story too. Kate Winslett was in it and directed by some dude who I think did some weird flicks about hobbits or sumithin' that I heard were decent. heh
'Goodfellas' is one of the best films of all time IMO. Outstanding epic story, outstanding acting talent, direction, cinemetography. Really EVERY aspect a film can be judged which makes it a 10 in my book.
The best film Scorsese made too... and he's made a few other decent ones. heh
To call it the worst goes beyond 'everyone gets their own opinion'. Or at least that's my opinion.
As for the thread subject...
I'm of the opinion that M.Night is a total hack who had one idea -that he keeps reusing.
The idea of adding a 'twist' which he stole from Hitchcock as was kinda mentioned already here.
A. Hitchcock Presents was one of my Fav. shows as a kid! Man, I with they'd show it on cable again!
Typically ending with a twist, then another twist, and then usually another twist after that! Something M. Night's never even attempted to pull off.
Shocking too that the astoundingly dumb 'Signs' was his biggest hit??
What's wrong with people's brains? Are they actually able to shut them off when looking at 2D moving pictures -like hypnosis or sumthin'??
After seeing the preview for the Village on tv ONE time I instantly guessed what happened in it and emailed a good friend who saw it and he told me I was exactly right and not to bother seeing it.
That's f'in' SAD.
Too bad too 'cuz his films 'look' good at least.
He's got two more films in the works as of now so we're not rid of him yet I guess.
