Hi.

Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.

M. Night Shyamalan is Back in the Worst Way in ‘Knock at the Cabin’

M. Night Shyamalan is Back in the Worst Way in ‘Knock at the Cabin’

Moviegoers beware! M. Night Shyamalan has made a new film about ‘The Times We Live In,' and it is about as sensitive and well thought out as we’ve come to expect from him.

Usually there’s something to be said for media that throws everyone under the bus (and a few co-writers in this case), but it’s usually an intentional attempt at some kind of equalizing. With Shyamalan’s latest, it’s merely an unfortunate byproduct of truly terrible story execution, even for him.
