Save Your Money and Time!

So, yesterday I went with a friend to see "The Happening". It's by the same guy who did "Sixth Sense." I was pumped, ready to go, and excited because I hadn't been to a movie all Summer (Which is a shocker!) and it looked interesting from the previews. It was also cool because my friend had given me a gift certificate to the movies as my Birthday Gift, so it only cost me treat money. (Which, I'm proud to say I can eat popcorn again!) Now I'm REALLY glad it only cost me treat money.

I knew it was rated R but figured I could handle it. Afterall, I'm 35, I figured it would be something like "I see Dead People."

Um, NO!

It was, quite possibly, the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. It was a waste of a gift certificate now that I think about it.

If you enjoy seeing people kill themselves, go see it.

Otherwise, save your money and your time.

It's not even worth a rental.

So, while this is usually a blog that lists movies to see (this is my first real "NO" recommendation), this time it's a recommendation NOT to see it.

By the way, in the theatre there were 2 adults with a baby and a toddler in the theatre. Idiots. It's Rated R for a reason!

As for me, Wall-E comes out Friday.

I can't wait to see it!

No human killings in it.

Sounds REALLY good to me.

Later!

I dunno if it is really your style of movie...but Alyssa and I really enjoyed "Get Smart" last week. We disagreed with about half of the critics and thought there was quite a lot of humor mixed in with all of the action. You might check it out when it makes it to the dollar theater - or give it a rent here in a few months.

I should say that I'm also REALLY looking forward to Wall-E!! I've heard nothing but good things!!

p.s. On the DVD front - I can't remember if I ever suggested "Once" to you. Check it out if you haven't already!!
