Time for us to enter the world of M. Night Shyamalan once again, but unlike last time where he was just a director for hire in a film where the ego of Will Smith reigns supreme, this time we get to go into a film that shows why M. Night Shyamalan fell to that degree with his first R-Rated film The Happening. So get out your weed killers and pray to the grass as we watch one of the most ridiculous films ever released. www.monster-crap.blogspot.com/2014/12/monster-crap-inductee-happening-2008.html

Meh, it was hokey, but I got the feeling it was supposed to be.
I still liked it.

This film needed 100 X more Michael Bay and 1,000,000 X more explosions. Seriously though, I'm curious how a dialogue driven Quinten Tarrentino Happening would have gone down.

Do you get anything for being the 1,000,000th review of this film? Way to shoot for the high fruit.

I saw this movie on opening day.
I had buyers remorse.

It may have been a film almost everyone has done, but I don't care about other reviews. If I haven't done it yet, it is open for induction.

True story: I met Alan Ruck in 2008, not long before the movie came out. I talked to him about Spin City and other things, and then remembered he was going to be in The Happening.
Jokingly, I said, "So based on the trailers, what's the twist? Global warming goes insane? Nature attacks man?"
He kinda froze, then composed himself and we kept talking.
But I knew.
I knew.
.......I didn't bother seeing it.

One of my favorite movies ever. It's so bad it's so good. Mark Wahlberg's second best comedic performance in my opinion.
