M Night did some terrific directing jobs. Sixth Sense worked because he was able to hold the whole mystery of the film in a subtle way, and got a brilliant acting out of Haley Joel Osment, who is a great actor but can't go beyond "cute" unless the project he is doing is good (see Pass it Foward, AI to see what I mean). Unbreakable was well directed because he had this awful, awful script, almost nonsensical, and turned into an enjoyable film. Signs is absolutely brilliant, the way he makes the existence of aliens ambiguous through the film - the scene in the basement is brilliantly directed. And then he just loses himself in a forced conclusion envolving bad CGI and "coincidences". The Village is his worse film, VERY predictable, but still, quite enjoyable. It's not boring. It has good dialogue, and good acting (except when he's on camera). I tend to enjoy his films, and I do intend to see his next one.
