The Happening
You see this poster? It never happens in the movie.
“The Happening” has just been added to my list of the worst movies ever. Horrible script, horrible acting, horrible cinematography, and a horrible plot combine to form the worst movie I’ve seen since “The DaVinci Code.”
Part of what made the movie so bad was all the potential it had. Mark Wahlberg is a great actor, Zooey Deschanel is pretty good, and John Leguizamo is decent as well, but Shyamalan seems to have brought out the worst in all of them. I seriously wonder if any of the actors argued with Shyamalan about how unrealistic the script was. Or at least thought about it in their heads.
And what disappoints me is that Roger Ebert gave it a fairly positive review. I’ve lost a lot of respect for that man.

I had wanted to see that movie, but now I definitely won’t. Like you, I thought there was much potential for it to be really interesting.
Last night, I watched Vantage Point. Have you seen it? I thought it was pretty good.
