The Happening with Mark Wahlberg
If any of you have not seen this movie, DON"T GO! Mark Wahlberg starts in a very low budget movie that i can direct in my backyard. Very stupid plot and lots of people who can't act. It was a waste of money and 2 hours. If you don't trust me, then go see it for yourself.

RE: The Happening with Mark Wahlberg
thanks for the heads up! My wife and I go to a movie every Friday and this one was being discussed if we should see it or not. I have enjoyed Mark's movie in the past, I guess a bad one has to come every once in a while.
Anyone seen the Incredible Hulk?

Signs was very moronic to me but a popular movie nevertheless.

Saw the Hulk, definitely check this out. Just a shade under the quality of Ironman but it was damn good. This rendition is much better than the 2002 version.

the movie introduces a fear that you can't visibly see or identify with. i don't want to give the spoilers, but the director, m night shyamalan does this in a lot of the movies. it always brings questions to your mind. i actually enjoyed the movie ... if you want your mind to think of the possibilities, then watch this movie in theaters, probably can wait till it hits the dollar theaters ... if you want blood, gore, aliens, etc, then just wait till dvd to watch the movie.

yea, i know what you're talking about. i thought about it in the ending moments of the movie, but i still did this: about wasting 2 hours and $14 dollars. I think everybody has their own opinion about certain movies, and i don't speak for everybody here, but it was a let down for me.

Agreed - Terrible... I've given up on Shyamalan...
All of his movie sare just plain rediculous now, why do top actors keep doing his stuff?
I went to go see "The Happening" thinking that he was due for a good one, another Sixth Sense...but it just plain sucked.
Unbreakable was cool and that's the last good thing he's done, that was in 2000.
Signs was cool until they showed the Aliens and had that dumb flashback "swing away" scene...
The Village - Terrible
Lady in the Water - Terrible
The Happening - Terrible
Signs - Slightly terrible

I stopped at The Village. Diego is right, there is too much thinking involved in what he does now....I go to a movie to be entertained, not perplexed.

Those guys are tight. I should have known something like this would happen. Didn't we put someone in charge of security or something? Does Flounder have anything to do with this? I want answers.

Between you and I, I'm worried about Flounder. I think Sec. of State may have been a stretch. Did you advise me on this?

of course. He's really worked hard so far. He's bound to make mistakes. Perhaps he will prove his worth given the time to grow into the job.
Your decision will prove to be correct
