Indeed, the film’s script, the rookie effort of Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson, was not only praised by the critics for its similarities to Shalaman’s script—Variety called it “the best unmade script in Hollywood”—but it also has a similar structure. Dragonfly slowly builds a supernatural mystery, injects moments of suspense and finally provides a twist ending. But everything that Dragonfly does, The Sixth Sense did better, although the former film does have several genuinely suspenseful moments...
Granted, any dialogue in which Costner is trying to carry half the burden is going to be excruciating, but several exchanges in the film leave one wondering where to place the blame—on the stilted script or the poor acting. At one point, Darrow walks up to a table of friends at a bar, who toast his recently deceased wife (“Here’s to Emily!”) just like most people would toast a good night at the bowling alley or the purchase of a new car.

We'll probably shoot it in March, after I come back from my book tour in Europe...

I feel like the writers and editors of these journals are paranoid nymphos with rock-bottom self-esteem who are missing the piece of their brain that discriminates between “interesting” and “totally not important.” I mean, the top features are either...
