The Almost!

"Can I have a ticket to The Happening thats happening right now?"

The title and trailer of this film always lead me to believe this was a 'movie within a tv show' from the Simpsons. Its ambiguousness and vague outset gave that extra point that you have to see this film to actually find out whats going on! However, it did give me a sense of curiousity and it was instantly put on my t... read more

"There appears to be an event happening..."

As of 2008, it has been nine years since M. Night Shyamalan made his mark on the thriller genre with his 1999 hit The Sixth Sense. Director/writer Shyamalan proved that he is able to create some intriguing concepts and bring them successfully to the big screen. Unfortunately, from there it has been nothing but downhill for the director. In... read more

I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say this may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I've seen low budget slasher flicks and student films that were better than this.

my 2020 movie diary ♥ (39 movies items)

" I'm not sure why, but my boyfriend thought it would be funny to force me to watch M. Night Shyamalan movies (I can only write his name correctly bc I myself am Indian). So we got blunted and settled in to watch this garbage and omg M. Night's reputation exceeds him, but this was too much. I could hardly bear looking at Mark Wahlberg's short porcile face and watching him struggle to act. I'm sure he was just contemplating his fat paycheque the whole time.

"Earth,...Mother Nature,...Gaia,...as an ECO-TERRORIST?? Who knew? (Hey, this place is actually The "G" Lodge. It's a little breakfast and lunch diner on Route 23, just west of Valley Forge National Park. Decent food, good prices and lots of local color. I stop there when I teach at Montgomery County's Fire Academy) "
