It's pretty hard to be consistently creative. Very few people can come up with something remotely new, much less something entirely and completely unforseen. Of those people, the rarest of the few can repeat that feet. Finding a consistently creative person is always a joy, whether or not every project that he or she does succeeds.

Enter Mr. M. Night Shyamalan.

Here's a guy who came out of nowhere a decade ago to scare the snot out of us in his debut. Since then, his movies have been critically hammered with every effort. Now, that's no big deal because very few critics are worth listening to anyway. But, in his case, people generally have a hard time dealing with or appreciating the things that he puts out. They're a little weird, sometimes a little corny, and the endings, alhtough almost always unpredictable, are not always satisfying to the public.

Nevertheless, he has done what few can, and that is to be consistently creative. Granted, he works within genres, but he always redefines and twists them. Also granted, he soemtimes seems to try to hard. Plus, he is kind of a weird dude.

But he knows how to see something as new, to create it and to make it his. His movies and stories are always a ten on the originality scale, and are difficult to compare to any other movie. Remember when Cloverfield came out, and the first thing out of every critics mouth was that it was like Godzilla and the Blair Witch Project? Was there anyone who compared anything to Lady in the Water (maybe the Little Mermaid, but that's it.) He's often compared to Hitchcock in his methods, and that isn't such a bad thing.

Let's keep this guy around. Originality is good for Hollywood, and Shymalan is a motherload.
