Comeback

M. Night made The Sixth Sense when he was 29, got 2 Oscar Nominations, and was heralded as on of the most promising young directors in America. He then made some pretty good movies, and then took a sharp downturn where he made some of the worst movies I've see come out of the 21st century with The Happening, The Last Airbender, and After Earth. And now he's made a movie that's supposed to be pretty good and it makes you think. Is that same Oscar nominated filmmaker still in there, and could he ever come back? There are plenty of directors who start out strong and then fall off like Coppola, Stone, and De Palma, but those guys were better in their prime than M. Night ever was, but still, M. Night is only 45, he's got a lot of years left in him and he's still the same man who made The Sixth Sense even if he's also still the same guy who made Lady in the Water. One pretty good movie doesn't a comeback make, but The Visit and Wayward Pines I think are a step in the right direction and I'll definitely be paying attention to his follow up.
