Adam’s review of M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening”

(My reviews tend to contain mild spoilers.  While I don’t really think I am capable of ruining this, proceed with caution.)

I refuse to believe that M. Night Shyamalan isn’t capable of making another great movie.  Unfortunately, his last two films have made that extremely difficult.

Some say that he stopped making good movies when he came out with Signs, but that’s my favsies (I’ll explain why if you’re interested), and The Village actually comes in close second.  But Lady in the Water was an abysmal failure (did anyone really get it?), and I’m sorry to say that The Happening is no better.

3 New Mexican Posters for “The Happening”

Considering a lot of the hatred people have with disappointing M. Night Shyamalan movies, this poster seems to be an outlet for all of that pent up anger.

Third Poster for “The Happening” Is Warped

So they’ve released yet another movie poster for M. Night Shyamalan’s summer film, The Happening starring Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo, Betty Buckley, Spencer Breslin, and Ashlyn Sanchez.

Here is a red band (Rated-R) Trailer for “The Happening” which shows an unknown epidemic that cannot be explained, not by theory or science. The human race has begun to destroy itself. Mark Wahlberg plays a man who is forced to go on the run with his family in town

Blockbuster disappointments?

I’m worried.

The outlook on the summer blockbuster season was so hot a few months ago. The titles of the films coming out blew your mind and you couldn’t wait to see them.

Then Iron Man came and fulfilled our most wild fantasies. It was awesome!

M. Night’s “Avatar” Franchise Gets New Name

We recently brought you news that M. Night Shyamalan is prepping a trilogy of films based on Nickelodeon’s animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender.  Well, with James Cameron also filming a movie called “Avatar” it was only a matter of time before someone would have to give.  Guess who caved?

Official ‘The Happening’ trailer hits the web

By official, I mean this site has a highly unlikely chance of getting its hand slapped by FOX for posting illegal versions of The Happening trailer. Mainly because at this point, the trailer resides on a site that doesn’t offer up any embedding code.
I saw this trailer on Thursday when I watched Jumper, but I [...]

M. Night Shyamalan: “The Happening”

The taglines on it read:
“We’ve sensed it, We’ve seen the signs, Now…it’s Happening.”
Obvious to any M. Night fan as references to his big two, The Sixth Sense and Signs. Check out the poster:

Ryan Gosling Drops Out Of Peter Jackson’s Adaptation Of “The Lovely Bones”

Not so long ago I picked up a copy of Alice Sebold’s, The Lovely Bones, in the bargain bin for $1.  I had already heard that Peter Jackson was planning to direct the movie version of “The Lovely Bones” and that Ryan Gosling was set to star so I bought the book without thinking.  I actually started reading it this past weekend.
