If the title of my post doesn’t give you an idea where this is going, let me be clear… I just saw the new M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Happening. IT SUCKED! My five year old, Noah, could come up with a better, scarier, more interesting movie. The scary parts stunk. The attempts at humor were dumb. The bad guy, the plants, are the least scary “bad guy” ever!
Oh dear how I feel ripped-off. M. Night Shyamalan, YOU OWE ME $8.75!!!
I went and saw the new Indiana Jones movie last night, and I hate to say it, but the best thing I can say about the movie was it was ok. I can’t even get myself to type it was good; I’m sticking with it was, ok.
I think the problem with these legendary trilogies (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc) is they wait *way* too long between movies. I don’t know if the problem is it’s hard to pick up after so long away. Or, if there has just been too much technological advancement in movies and the old movies don’t seem right with all the new “stuff”.
Anyhow, go see Indy, don’t let my opinion keep you away. It’s still cool to see Harrison Ford on the screen playing Indy, and there are some familiar faces in the movie that make it fun. I’ll wait a few days, and then update this post with my favorite parts of the movie. That way I don’t spoil it for anyone.
