      If there's no songs or dancing than I don't see how it can be a bad movie.

              I liked "Signs". A lot. It wasn't "scary" per se. It was character-driven, and suspenseful... and you jumped in a few spots that you KNEW he was going to make you jump.

              As for "first" movies, Signs is in fact his THIRD big-budget movie. He also did "Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable".

                The guy is severely overrated as a film director. I've seen all 3 of his major films, and they were alright.. but that's about it. Unbreakable was actually the most interesting, because the concept was pretty original.. no ghosts or aliens there.

                Oh, and as for..

                Adrian Brody (Best Actor last year for "The Pianist")
                He won the award, which just means he was in this year's latest melodramatic holocaust drama, which made all the shallow lefty bleeding heart hollywood women (and feminized men) weep in an oh-so-politically-correct way. It doesn't make him best actor.

                  In fact I am, I justs didn't like signs. It was just... shallow, kinda. Left me unimpressed. Maybe because it was a little over-hyped, maybe I had a bad day, maybe I don't like his style, maybe he's just not as good a director as some people think

                  I haven't seen 6th sense and unbreakable, so I can't comment on them.

                    I think he's an EXCELLENT director.

                    Being a good director is more than most people think. I think PART of the problem is that they're letting lots of directors write screenplays nowadays.

                    Even the best director/producer in the entire world could use a little screenplay help. (DO YOU HEAR ME, LUCAS?)

                      Just like Lucas isn't a good director by any means (maybe he once was, I don't know)

                          Lucas is/was a good director.

                          The problem is that he gets SOOOO caught up in all the other aspects of Star Wars that you forget it.

                          He has directed lots of good films.

                            Oh, then it was probably just his acting that did that
