Sunday Movie Experience

SMEx

The Happening

, ,


Well it was a huge weekend. First there was the Opera summer party, then followed up by Else and my own birthday party, so it wasn't suprising that we set another SMEx first. It was an alcohol free event.

This movie is another M. Night Shyamalan job, same director/writer as The Village and The Six Sense. I'm afraid to say that both of those movies were better. Something did happen but it was a little disappointing. It was no where near Marky Mark's best work, it felt like it didn't take anything to seriously and just collected his paycheck and went home, and Zooey Deschanel was just plain nutty.

Even though I think it was tricky to make a great movie with the subject matter choosen, this movie did look like it had so much potential and just let it all go. There was only one part towards the end of the movie where I think it lived up to what it could have been.

Anyway, that's 32 events down, and I've still been to all of them. This run will have to break soon but we'll see how long I can hang in there.

For anyone out there who wants to see Marky Mark at his best just skip this movie and watch this smile

Oh well, it didnt happen p
Agree with marky mark's comments, maybe the part of the in the model house was good for him.
As a M. Night Shyamalan's work, it fell short, but maybe is because I'm getting used to expect a twist at the end.
So-so movie.

I liked the scene when he was talking to the plastic plant, otherwise this film was shit- just plain crap.
