The Happening

Mark Wahlberg is always a pleasure to watch. He picks good scripts, or rather he acts in the kinds of movies tht i like watching. i put him in the league of actors i'd blindly watch a movie for... the likes of him are Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp, John Travolta, and Steve Carrell. Each of these actors are good with different genres of films of course.

I recommend the Happening. it's not Shyamalan's best, but it's creepy enough.

Spoiler alert!

Weird things started happening in NYC. People spoke funny, they lost their sense of direction, and then they started committing suicide. They fell off buildings like a bricks, shot themselves in the head, lie underneath a tractor, banged their heads against walls... it was all gruesome.

Turns out that it was caused by the plants, they released some sort of toxins which screws up the brain. THey were taking revenge on humankind for all the harm we've done to the environment...

After watching the show... i saw this in the morning, just outside my house, right smack in the middle of CBD, is this even allowed? i'm gonna say goodbye to blue skies pretty soon.

Uh-huh. Whenever I see smoke billowing out of that chimney, it reminds me of the movie poster/dvd cover of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth!
