Though it's nominally by another author, <i>The Man Who Heard Voices</i>, an account of the making of <i>The Lady in the Water</i>, is unmistakably his manifesto as well. It's not that I think he can't be an effective director - I did vote for one of his films on my own list - but I would suspect, given his history, that he was more directly creatively involved with <i>Devil</i> than a producer would be usually.Synonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-73006416504682029532010-10-04T17:45:22.273-04:002010-10-04T17:45:22.273-04:00Hey Stacie,

I look forward to hearing if Stacie finds the humor still working or not.<br /><br /><br />Only one vote for Versus, CHUD and Waxwork? Gee.<br /><br />Satan's Blade was one of my first slashers. It made an impression with all of its craziness.<br /><br />I like Pandorum better than Decent.<br /><br />Have people been staying away from "Devil" because of M. Night Shyamalan's name? His involvement is minimal. Just the idea.<br />Someone else wrote the script. Someone else directed.<br />Surprisingly, good B movie. I like the cop a lot.<br /><br />Oh, who voted for Demon City Shinijuku? * hug *<br /><br />I do not know this Outer Space movie, have to track that down.David Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023197040274233598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-27050549747276677372010-10-04T17:34:07.073-04:002010-10-04T17:34:07.073-04:00'places to go, people to kill!'
