Shyamalan fever has come roaring back, as audiences and critics alike are enthralled and delighted by his latest… Oh wait, it’s not 1999. In 2010, The Last Airbender is also looking like the last go-round for America’s master of the disappointing twist. He’s getting his cultural ass kicked by a bunch of sparkly vampires!
