Okay, so, M. Night Shyamalan... The Happening.. I had been looking forward to this movie for almost a whole year..

What a letdown.

Just the sheer lack of plot details makes this movie so inferior to the rest of M. Night's movies. Movies, such as Signs, are so detail-rich, and that's what made his films so incredible. Aside from the lack of detail, the use of graphic imagery takes the cake. M. Night once clarified that he didn't believe in using gore, and rather leave such instances that would require gore to the imagination. It looks like M. Night sold out. Oh well, hopefully he'll redeem himself with the upcoming Avatar movie.

Enough of that, when I review something I don't typically like, I like to keep it short and to the point. So, if you wanna see it, be my guest, maybe you'll like it. I just don't think that The Happening is near the same league as the rest of his movies.

The Happening : :star::star::star-empty::star-empty::star-empty:

Okay moving on, I got my first paycheck at the kennel (actual kennel work, not the graphics work). I worked 16 hours and got $118 on Friday. I love this job, I really love animals and all I do is take care of them all day. It's a pretty sweet deal. We're pretty shorthanded right now, but they are currently interviewing and hopefully we'll get more help hired soon.

In Lit news, I have gotten my quilliup story line worked out and I have been writing. :aww: Finally.

I was thinking yesterday about what a waste Leaden Legacy was.. so I decided I would rework my original characters from it to create a completely new original story. I'll write a brief synopsis soon, but right now I can give the working title.. Mercury. :P

If you want to. :) It's just, to me, this movie was no where near as good as the rest of his movies to me. Plus it wasn't scary, whenever someone died you knew it was going to happen. :/ And what was causing everyone to kill themselves was surprising, but not interesting.

But anyway, use your discretion, I'm a pretty tough critic. :XD: You don't have to listen to me, after all, you might like it. :) All reviews I've seen have been half that people hated it, and half that people loved it. So I'm in the first half, you might be in the second half, who knows? This might be more fun of a movie for a group, so you'll probably go with friends, right?
