imo his style is now remarkably overrated.
i get the feeling that Stephen Hawking would appreciate this mans filmography...
he started out with one big bang... but after that the univserse has been speeding away from itself at such a rapid rate that each subsequent hit has been a fainter murmur of the last.
i though that the Sixth Sense was a great film... but each film afterwards has gotten worse and worse. Unbreakable was ok, but its twist was terrible, as was that bore Bruce Willis (unlike his Sixth Sense work). Signs was just a farce and so on.
he needs to change his bag and move away from the twists and suspense that he relies so heavily upon, since the audience now expects them. it may come to a point where we, the audience, reject him and his efforts for treating us with such contempt.
maybe he should try a simple character development piece with a talented ensemble cast that doesn't try to put the audience into a bored trance of expectation. he has the name to pull together the resources.

SD, he wrote the screenplay, not Stuart Little.
big difference since the book Stuart Little is a childrens classic and the film is not.
