Better Late Than Never Vol. 6

Glass May Shatter but Shyamalan Keeps it Sharp

At this rate, you either know the name M. Night Shyamalan or not. The same man who made a name for himself with the haunting but heartfelt ghost-story The Sixth Sense, took a spin at the comic book genre before it became popular in Unbreakable, and was proclaimed the next Spielberg with the sci-fi thriller Signs. This is also the same man whose career took a downturn starting with The Village, the well-intended but maligned Lady in the Water, the horrific but unintentionally hilarious The Happening, and the final nail in the coffin known as The Last Airbender. 

Incredibles 2 is Incredible Enough

Brad Bird's super-powered family was another repertoire in Pixar's catalog in 2004. While superhero movies were common they weren't the blockbuster giants now seen today. That same year bestowed clunkers like The Punisher, Blade Trinity, and Catwoman. There was also Hellboy but was a mixed bag with viewers.  Next to The Incredibles, the only other superhero film that triumphed critically and financially that year was Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. Being a nerdy bookworm in junior high I wondered when the next adventure of this incredible family would arrive. Fourteen years later, is Incredibles 2 worth the wait?
