I forgot The Happening. Shyamalan actually has a knack for making movies but a) the role he's chosen forces him to come up with such overelaborate premises that large swathes of stupid, esp. near the climax, are probably inevitable and b) totally sabotaged whatever he was going for here by casting Marky Mark as a science teacher. Most unintentionally hilarious acting I've seen since Keanu Reeves in The Lake House--people have apparently been mocking him for his Earth Stood Still job, but I thought he was great for the part. It's when he plays someone who is supposed to be at home in a human body that he's ridiculous.
