M. Night's movies get a bad rep. They gotta cool shape, they got protein.

And deservedly so.

I'm not questioning it. He's wrecked the totally cool and awesome premise of plants conspiring to seed pollen that makes people who breath it kill themselves. That should have been a George Romero movie, or even a John Carpenter movie. NOT a M. Night movie.

Yeah, that's sorta what  I meant with it's not a bad concept but ruined with poor script, direction and acting. In his hands it became sort of a cross between King Kong and Wuthering Heights  :D

If that is the Brendan Gleason As Irish Cop & Don Cheadle as FBI guy, then yes it was a fun flick.

My ultimate dream movie cast is any film that would include Brendan Gleeson, Daniel Day Lewis, and Morgan Freeman.  Of course, it would end up being some horrible shitfest of a film, like The Bucket List.

Quote(Reuters) - Actor Al Freeman Jr., perhaps best known for his portrayal of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad in Spike Lee's 1992 film "Malcolm X," has died, Howard University said on Friday.

"It is with tremendous sadness that the passing of our beloved Professor Al Freeman, Jr. is confirmed," Kim James Bey, chair of the university's theater department said in a statement. Freeman was a faculty member at the university.

She gave no details about the death of Freeman, who was 78 and taught acting at the Washington-based university, but said a statement would be issued later.

Freeman's long career in film, television and theater included an enduring role playing police Captain Ed Hall on the TV soap opera "One Life to Live" from 1972 through 1987.

He was credited with being the first African American to win a Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding lead actor for his work on the soap opera, a prize he was awarded in 1979.

Freeman's theater credits included a starring role on Broadway in James Baldwin's "Blues for Mister Charlie" in 1964.
