The Unbreakable


M. Night Shyamalan does it once again.

'The Plot' Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson star in the mind-shattering, suspense-filled thriller that stays with you long after the end of this riveting supernatural Film. After David (Bruce Willis) emerges from a horrific train crash as the sole survivor - and without a single scratch on him - he meets a mysterious stranger (Samuel L. Jackson). An unsettling stranger who believes comic book hero's walk the earth. A haunting stranger whose obsession with David will change David's life forever.

This film is a great suspenseful thriller that will have you keep think about this movie even after its over. M. Night Shyamalan the Director of what in my mind is the best Thriller of All-Time The "Sixth Sense." He brings this great story about a man who walks this earth with a strange power but doesn't know it. I really like comic book movies and in my opinion this is one of the best ones out right now. This contains a great sense of realisation, meaning that Bruce Willis character, David Dunn, is just like a regular human being just like any of us. The Same thing as in the Sixth Sense, which is that some scenes in this film will have you in shock and awe.
The DVD its really the same thing. The Content on this DVD is incredible. the Behind-The Scenes section is a good one as of the one in the Sixth Sense. The Deleted Scenes is above all my favorite section on the DVD, there is this one scenes where it will make you laugh, pretty much if you already seen the movie.
Overall this is a Must Buy.

Signs

M. Night Shyamalan's first Alien film.

'The Plot' From M. Night Shyamalan, the writer/director of the Sixth Sense an Unbreakable, comes the story of the Hess family in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. One morning they wake up to find a 500-foot crop circle in their backyard.
Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his family are told extraterrestrials are responsible for the sign in their field. They watch the news as crop circles are soon found all over the world.
Signs is the emotional story of one family on one farm as they encounter the possibility the world is being invaded.

I like most of M. Night Shyamalan's movies I think he does a great job at directing and writing his movies, with no exception with this one. Signs is something that I really enjoyed. I thought that the story-line was greatly put together really nicely. Mel Gibson does a great job, there's really no big surprise there he always does a nice job. The Visuals are great too. There's this one scene this really got my hairs standing on my neck with is this one time we see a home video of a birthday party. This film is just simply amazing.
The DVD is great in the Making-Of part of the DVD simply because it shows all the sets that M. Night Shyamalan took in creating Signs, which is very nice too watch. The Deleted Scenes are nice too. Overall this DVD is well worth its price.
This is a Buy.

The Village

M. Night Shyamalan always can make a great movie with a great twist.

'The Plot' M. Night Shyamalan (Signs, Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense), the director who brought you the world's greatest thrillers on DVD, now creates his most thought-provoking triumph yet... breaking international records and dazzling audiences around the globe! The Village is a smart, edge-of-your-seat chiller crawling with terrifying surprises and frightening twist and turns. An isolated, tight-kint community lives in mortal fear of an oppressive evil inhabiting the forbidden forest just beyond their tiny village. So Frightening that no one ventures into the woods... until one village dares to face the unknown. With unforgettable performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Adrien Brody and newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard, this powerful motion picture is one of Hollywood's best psychological thrillers and ranks with the best of Hitchcock!

The beginning of this film it very, very slow and to watch this film will most likely make you want to turn this film off. The talking in this film can really start you off on a bad foot because the talking is from the 18th century, which is were this takes place... The actors and actresses in this film are amazing they brought some of the best, Sigourney Weaver and Adrien Brody being a couple of them. One person I'm really surprised in was Bryce Dallas Howard who was in her first major film that she was the lead character. The Direction was great, done in my opinion was done by one of the best Directors of our time, M. Night Shyamalan, who has made the greatest thrillers of all time.
In the DVD, it's pretty much the same as all of the other M. Night Shyamalan's DVDs it mostly contains, A thoroughly in-depth making of the film, Deleted Scenes. It also contains the Dairy of Bryce Dallas Howard. The DVD also includes like also in all of M. Night's films is a small scene from his childhood movies. Which all these features make a great DVD so this is a great one to get.
This is a Buy.
