Bullshit!
I can't say there's a single movie he made that I hated. There were a couple that I was a little disappointed with, like "Lady in the Water."
But if I had to rank them, it would go something like:
1. The Village
2. Signs
3. The Sixth Sense
4. Unbreakable
5. The Happening
6. Lady in the Water
Not sure where the The Last Airbender falls in but I consider it separate since it wasn't based upon his own concept. And I actually liked The Happening, which a lot of people didn't.
This dude gets WAY too much hate. Personally I make sure to go see every movie he makes. I don't think there's been a single movie of his since Unbreakable that I didn't see in the theater.I heart cockComment

Signs... terrible, better as an unintentional comedy. I challenge anyone to not laugh at that alien.
The Happening... possibly the second worst movie to ever make it to a theater.
In conclusion:
The Sixth Sense
The Village
Unbreakable
[insert huge gap]
Signs
The Happening
Lady in the Water

Well I'm glad to hear that you liked The Village, since it's an awesome movie, but sense and sensibility goes out the door after your first sentence.
The Sixth Sense is good, though I didn't see it in the theater. It was one of those movies where I ended up catching it long after the hype had come and gone, kind of like with DiCaprio's "Romeo and Juliet" (which I ended up liking a lot).
Signs is an awesome film. A solid #2.I heart cockComment

If you Google search the phrase “alpha male back door,” the results include things about a jealous monkey attacking a man as well as something about a she-male’s back door. You can thank me later for not linking the Potato Nation to the latter, but former #1 contender Chad Mendes, a member of Team Alpha Male, is being sought by Hanford, California authorities after he “allegedly sucker punched a patron in the face and took off running out the back door” according to the Hanford Sentinel.
As many as 40 people were involved in an inebriated fracas (or as I like to call it – a SHITSTORM) at the Lacy Inn Bar. By all accounts, a police officer was on patrol and drove past the business where he/she witnessed two men fighting. When the cop stopped to break up the scuffle, one of the combatants turned their aggression towards the officer. When Johnny Law called for back-up, a multitude of presumably drunken patrons came spilling out of the bar like they were entering a big box electronics store on Black Friday. I thought this shit only happened in old Clint Eastwood movies starring an orangutan.
A Pier 6 brawl ensued until more police (as well as the Gang Task Force Unit) arrived to break up the awesomeness. According to the authorities, Mendes was recognized and was said to be visibly intoxicated as he “began cursing at the deputies and officers” before he was asked to vacate the premises. Instead of leaving, though, he went back into the watering hole. Then (this is when it gets real good), reportedly, Mendes decked a guy that “never saw it coming” and ran out the back door of the presumably high-class establishment. Cops chased him behind the bar along a set of railroad tracks but could not keep up with the highly conditioned professional athlete because running hills with Urijah Faber is better for your cardio than a jelly. Mendes has not been seen since.
The Sheriff’s Office has been trying to reach Mendes for questioning but their attempts have been unproductive. Mendes is sought for questioning and if he does not materialize by Monday, the District Attorney’s Office will be requested to file formal charges against the UFC fighter and an arrest warrant could be issued. Because of his MMA instruction and professional fighting skill-set, Mendes could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Though Mendes is still M.I.A. – four people were arrested at the scene of the brawl for public intoxication, no police officers were reportedly injured and the case remains open as investigation continues. We’ll keep you updated as the story unfolds.
***UPDATE***
According to Yahoo Sports, Chad Mendes has released a response to the allegations through his management team MMA Inc.
“On Friday afternoon, Chad Mendes was shocked and surprised by the allegations contained in an article published on an Internet news site. While Chad acknowledges that an incident occurred last Saturday in Hanford, he contends that the majority of the facts pertaining to him in the story are absolutely false. Attempts were immediately made by Chad’s representatives to contact personnel at the Sheriff’s Department on Friday afternoon. Despite these repeated attempts, Chad’s representatives have not received any response from the Sheriff’s Department as of the time of this release. Chad denies any wrongdoing and is very upset by the allegations contained in the story. He will fully cooperate with the Sheriff’s Department and looks forward to clearing his name.”
Because Mendes is currently in Ohio serving as a corner man for Team Alpha Male colleague, Lance Palmer at UVC 20, he will return home after the event to contact the Sherrif’s Department in Kings County and attempt to straighten-out the allegations.2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)

HANFORD — Local authorities say they are looking for professional mixed martial artist Chad “Money” Mendes in connection with a 40-person drunken brawl that broke out at the Lacey Inn
Hanford native UFC fighter wanted for questioning in local bar fight
HANFORD — Local authorities say they are looking for professional mixed martial artist Chad “Money” Mendes in connection with a 40-person drunken brawl that broke out at the Lacey Inn Bar on Saturday.
Mendes, 27, allegedly sucker punched a patron in the face and took off running out the back door. Officials say they have not been able to locate him.
The incident started around 1:18 a.m. A deputy on patrol in east Hanford drove past the business and witnessed two people fighting in the parking lot. He got out and intervened, causing one man to turn on him, according to the Kings County Sheriff’s Office.
As the deputy called for backup, more people spilled out of the bar and began fighting. Officials said the melee grew to about 40 people before Hanford police and the county Gang Task Force arrived on the scene to break it up.
That’s when authorities recognized Mendes. He appeared to be intoxicated and began cursing at the deputies and officers, authorities said. They asked him to leave. Instead, he went back inside and struck one man who “never even saw him coming,” Assistant Sheriff Dave Putnam said.
Deputies chased Mendes along the railroad tracks behind the Lacey Inn Bar, but soon lost him in south Hanford. The area native has not been seen since.
“The victim felt lucky to walk out with just a contusion after being punched by Mendes,” Putnam said.
In the days since the brawl, the Sheriff’s Office has made repeated attempts to get a statement from Mendes. They have not been able to reach the Ultimate Fighting Championship contender.
“If we don’t speak with him by Monday, then we’ll request that the District Attorney’s Office file charges against him,” Putnam said. “Then we can pick him up on an arrest warrant.”
It is not clear at this point what, if any, involvement Mendes had in the initial feud or the subsequent 40-person battle.
“With his training as a professional fighter, he could be looking at a charge of assault with a deadly weapon,” Putnam said. “That’s something the District Attorney’s Office will have to weigh out when they make their filing decision.”
Authorities arrested four people at the scene for public intoxication. The case remains under investigation.
Mendes recently made headlines when he defeated Cody McKenzie by technical knockout at UFC 148 in the Las Vegas MGM Grand. He currently stands 12-1 overall.2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)
