The Happening
Do not go and see this film. It's rubbish.
Thankfully, I had a free ticket - I was seeing my parents for Father's Day stuff, and they'd won tickets to a film of their choice at their local pub quiz. But still, it's rubbish.
I quite liked Mark Wahlberg in it, but there's this whole maths/science thing running through the film that goes nowhere, and he's part of it. And there are so many plot holes you want to punch people. And things that could have been interesting just went unexplained and unused. Why do people start walking backwards?
It really wanted an M Night Shyamalan 'clever plotline with a twist at the end that explains everything' ending, but just got an 'ooh, isn't the world weird?' ending instead.
Bleurgh.
