The Happening

The Happening, 2008

Old mate Shyamalan backs out a turd of a movie with Marky Mark caught up in the putrid mess.

They say Entourage is loosely based on Wahlberg's experiences - well if that's the case - The Happening makes Medellin look like Ben Hur.

People start dropping like flies - watching one climb up the wall would be more fun.

Pooey.

P.S: It seem the good people at Empire Magazine agree with me on this one - they rank The Happening 8th on their list of the 'Worst Movies Ever'.

(500) Days of Summer

(500) Days of Summer, 2009

The dude from Third Rock gets it done in a smart, funny, romantically scented comedy. Playing his leading lady - Zooey Deschanel - who pulls off cute bitch with aplomb.

JGL is a seriously good actor (see Mysterious Skin rather than him getting hacked up in Halloween H20) and he carries the audience with him throughout this one.

The lanky guy from Criminal Minds bobs up - but this is a two-hander and both are terrific. Snazzy dance sequence, Temper Trap on the soundtrack and a narrator with a cool voice - how can you go wrong.

Lads - if the girlfriend grabs this one at the video store - use it as leverage to rent District 9 but watch it with her anyway.
