makes 'Bolero' look like 'Casablanca'

as i said in my comment on "The Sixth Sense", i don't like M. Night Shyamalan's movies, and this one started out decent, and then got seriously dull and boring just like his other movies. that scene where the alien just walks by for a second at the birthday party was the stupidest scene in a horror film ever. how that scene managed to be #77 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments, I'll never know. Speaking of which, Rory Culkin, who acted in the film, was on that Bravo Special talking about the film, and it seemed that this movie stupefied him. he was talking like he was possessed, saying stuff like "the family gets crop circles...in their crops...and it's aliens..." i think the dumbest part in the movie was it's "climax" . it was a HUGE disappointment. i figured that Mel Gibson or Joaquin Phoenix would get a gun or something and blow the heads off those aliens, but no. the aliens are so weak and defenseless that they can be trapped behind a weak wooden door and get burned by A GLASS OF WATER. so this space creature can operate a spaceship, make circles about a mile wide in someone's backyard, but gets killed by a glass of water. Wow. I didn't know Shymalan's movies would sink THIS low. if you want to see a good alien movie, see "Day the earth Stood Still" or "Independence day", or MAYBE EVEN "Mars attacks!". But avoid this movie like the plague. 2/10
