Signs

Pros: Excellent storytelling, character development, and mood.
Cons: Not long enough. I mean that as a compliment.

M. Night Shyamalan has perfected his craft in the making of "Signs". He has improved upon what were ...

Pros: Skilled use of foreshadowing, good acting, touches of humor.
Cons: One of the lamest "enemies" in cinema history.

For those of you who have yet to see the latest from M. Night Shyamalan and are eagerly waiting to see how he will surprise us with "Signs," I can assure you that he is still in fine form. He is a master at creating an atmosphere that totally reels the...

Pros: Classic science fiction
Cons: Classic science fiction

What can I say..I went into this movie not knowing exactly what to expect because the previews I saw didn't reveal much. After seeing the movie, I saw the previews again-and basically it gives you the whole movie right then and there. With that...

Pros: THIS WILL GIVE YOU CAUSE TO 'THINK'.
Cons: TOO SLOW FOR MANY

I enjoyed 'Signs', the movie, very much. My husband, on the other hand, did not. What was the major difference? My husband expects a science fiction movie that was advertised as 'Don't see this alone!' to be full of blood and gore. He expected to see...

Pros: Wonderfully woven web of excitment
Cons: You have to enjoy good movies to enjoy this

This movie contains all of the dramatic effects you can possibly achieve. It is making you laugh one minute then making you jump out of your seat the next.

The reactions of the people in the theater were the best I have ever seen....

Pros: Mel Gibson's performance
Cons: M.Night Shyamalan's script

Dare I say, M. Night Shyamalan is becoming a tad bit
stale in his attempts to scare us.

We know what all those weird sounds mean. We can see all of Shyamalan's monsters before they appear on the screen.

In his third...

Pros: Scary movie, people in the theater were literally screaming
Cons: it moved too fast

I think one of the signs of a good movie is to hear the reaction from the crowd, and this movie did just that. The woman behind me was quite annoying because she screamed so much, but I think that shows how scary this movie is. When I say scary, I mean...

Pros: truly a frightening movie- a very rare thing, excellent performances
Cons: can't discuss the minor- very minor- cons w/out giving away too much

Man, this M. Night Shyamalan can make a scary movie. This review is hard to write, because, while I want to go on and point out this and that- I don't want to spoil it for you. Believe me, as with Shyamalan's "The 6th Sense," the less you know going in,...

Pros: SCARY, exciting, heart pounding, suspense-filled, ect.
Cons: May experience too much time with hands covering eyes

Ok, so I may be a bit biased toward this movie on account of my extreme liking to having the pants scared off me, but if you are reading this review, then you most certainly share that quality with me, so we have nothing to worry about.
Today,...

Pros: Night Shyamalan's excellent direction
Cons: None

For the third consecutive time, the ending of an M Night Shyamalan film will spur great discussion around the watercooler the next morning.

But unlike his previous films, The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, Shyamalan's latest effort Signs does...

Pros: Great Filming, suspensful, thought provoking
Cons: Did become a bit preachy

I don’t consider myself a movie aficionado, although I’ve seen over 400 movies in my early twenty years. However I must say that I truly enjoy Night’s style with the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and with that said Signs continues in that line of slow...

Pros: One of the scariest movies ever, suspense, visual effects, sound/music, cherry jones, plot
Cons: no character development of minor characters

If M. Night Shyalaman wanted to emulate Hitchcock, he succeeded in the best of ways. Shyalaman doesn't blatantly copy Hitchcock, but creates a movie that feels and looks Hitchcock, but still feels like an M. Night Shyalaman movie. Taking pieces from...

Pros: makes you think
Cons: some parts a little too funny

I went into the theatre having heard a lot of good things about this movie months before it even came out. The first time that I heard about it was last September when one of my friends told me that Mel Gibson had been in his hometown shooting a new...

Pros: It's a lot more than what previews say
Cons: Small cast, not sci-fi...if that's what you're looking for.

"I'm insane with anger!" yells Mel Gibson as he runs out screaming from his house trying to scare off a potential intruder. He was told by his brother to yell and act mad. It was a funny moment in the film.

This is a well written story, and I...

Pros: "jump out of your seat" scary, wonderful cast
Cons: a few parts didn't add up

Mel Gibson plays Graham Hess, an ex-reverend and father of two, who is awakened one morning by sounds of screaming in the corn fields. His kids say they were awakened by the dogs only to find strange crop circles in the center of the field. Joaquin...
