The Happening - I am in the minority it seems, when it comes to M. Night Shyamalan. I think his work has gotten better as his career has progressed. While I don't think "The Happening" was his best by far, it was still quite good. I understood it to be a commentary on humanity and humans in general when a crisis (happening) occurs, and the personal story of a couple during that crisis, and NOT necessarily a horror movie. There was some suspense, but it was more of the former, less of the latter. Mark Wahlberg wasn't necessarily the best actor for the main role, but it could have been worse. It could have starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kristin Kreuk. :)
Run, Fatboy, Run - A fun movie, enjoyed thoroughly. I really liked Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz, but Shaun of the Dead left me a little bored, so I was hoping to like this one, and I did. All of the little asides and random acts were especially fun.
