The Happening (2008) Movie

Hulk Smash Box Office! Well, Kinda.

Hulk 2.0 took first place at the box office over the weekend with a solid $54 million in its opening week. Not bad, right? Well, not really. Despite how Marvel will try to spin this (Marvel chairman David Maisel is already out there spinning his butt off as I type this), consider this: Ang Lee’s [...]

Trade Reviews for Shyamalan’s The Happening

Hey, how cool is this, that I can now type Shymalan without having to look it up? Yes, folks, I’m mighty proud of myself. Anyhoo. We’ve already heard from fanboys and anonymous movie reviewers take pop shots at M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening” (his first R-rated movie, as the film’s trailers like to trumpet, as [...]

Is Shyamalan’s The Happening “a Terrible, Terrible Movie”?

Yes, says not one, but two people who have managed to see a sneak peek at M. Night Shyamalan’s stab at climbing out of the pit known as “critically and commercially savaged”, aka post-”Lady in the Water” stinkiness. Unfortunately, while the trailers seem to strike that perfect balance of, “What the hell is going on [...]

The Happening Caused by Terrorists or the U.S. Government?

Wait, aliens aren’t causing the weird stuff that’s taking place in M. Night Shymalan’s latest, “The Happening”? It’s not even little grey men from the center of the Earth? I’m so disillusioned, especially since, according to an article in the L.A. Times, the environmental crisis that everyone in the movie (led by Mark Wahlberg) is [...]

First Images from M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening

Haven’t heard a whole lot from M. Night Shyamalan’s new supernatural thriller “The Happening” ever since the film’s second trailer was released mid-February. With the film due out in theaters this Summer, June 13, 2008 (less than two months away, by my count), you’d think the studio would be gearing up the promotional machine to [...]

Second Trailer for The Happening

Here’s my guess of the plot twist for M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening” — it turns out to be the work of God, ala The Rapture, and that all the sinners are the ones jumping off buildings and going ka-splat. Then again, it could be aliens, or mole men from the center of the Earth. [...]

M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening Poster

You know the curious thing about this first poster for M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie “The Happening”? Not the poster itself. It’s basic stuff where the PR people tries to sell the movie based on Shyamalan’s previous successful films (”We’ve sensed it”, “We’ve seen the signs” — get it?), but that I can now type [...]
