It Wasn't Happening

David and I have always been Shyamalan fans, so when we got a copy of "The Happening", we eagerly prepped ourselves for a chilling good time. We even made sure Charly wasn't around to see anything visually gruesome.

Sadly, the only thing that was happening about the movie was its title (yeah, pun).

The message, though grounded on shaky premises, was interesting enough, but the acting was painful. I almost wanted Mark Wahlberg to die.

Maybe that's why John Leguizamo slashed his wrists in the first half of the movie because he saw how bad things were going and no longer wanted any part of it.

This is one script that should have been left alone.
