We went and seen "The Happening" holy sh*t what piece of crap!!!!!

I was ready to take a nap in the middle of it. I went with my girlfriend and my brother. We all thought it sucked bad. We were not alone. As we were walking out EVERYONE was commenting on how bad it sucked and was a total waste of money.

I have no idea why it has a R rating. It does not show any of the actual death sthat would have any blood flying. Just some of the after shots.Thumbs Down

Not even worth a rental when it comes out on DVD.

Ever since the horrendous Planet of the Apes remake, I've found it really difficult to take anything Marky Mark does seriously.

I thought Wahlberg was good in The Departed. Really good in fact.

I liked The Shooter, acting not so great but the story had a nice twist.

I didn't see this movie, but family members did and they hated it. Not going to place spoilers in here but its was preachy.

Oh, please. ANY movie with the title pattern:

"The XXXXening"

will suck. The only way that can not be true is if -

a) It falls into the 'so-bad-it's-good' category
b) The title is a humorous reference (eg, a documentary about B movies)

This is a hard and fast rule.

The other PeriSoft Title Rule is that any movie with the title pattern:

"XXXXing XXXX"

will try too hard. The one and only known exception to this is if -

a) It is a porn flick.

I'm sure there are other rules like these, but these are the only two PeriSoft Title Rules I am aware of at this time.

Mike if you liked Shooter you should find the book, it was FAR better than the movie.

I actually think Dirk Diggler has done some pretty good movies,not bad for a former teenage cokehead stickup artist. my favorite scene was the extra clip at the end of rock star when he climbs up on the stage during a sound check and starts busting some Marky Mark CRAP...it was so bad I was rolling on the floor.
Loved the Departed, thought he was WAY better than Dicaprio.

I checked out the happening trailer because I have a secret crush on Zooey Deschanel. (shhhhh) Wink

Even so... I think I'll be able to avoid that one unless I run out of stuff to put in my Netflix que which does "happen" sometimes.

Hey,

You may be right on some level.




but ... it's not so much just the body.. in her case she has a very feminine nature (at least in the acting I've seen) then you add her voice and those eyes... What can I say,.. Looks like heaven on Earth to me.

She adds a lot of replay value to my Surf's Up Blu Ray even though her "build" isn't a factor.
