The Happening opened in cinemas on 13th June, 2008. I guess because of its apocalyptic theme, 13th of June, which was also Friday the 13th, was picked.

My friends told me not to bother watching this because it’s utter crap. Well, here are people who thought that The Sixth Sense was awesome, though it did nothing to me. Remember, I am Asian; I see dead people, I talk to dead people and I offer food to dead people. Dead people are part of our culture and tradition. Maybe that’s why I do not think The Sixth Sense was an exceptional movie. And I guess, for M. Night Shyamalan, being of Indian origin, it had amused him tremendously that the West thought his Sixth Sense was an extraordinary movie.

The Happening is a movie about bio-chemical destruction where trees mutated and secrete a type of virus that infected people and cause them to self-destruct in whatever way they could find.

The plot may sound stupid but it would be scary if something like that actually happened. Anyway, this is not the kind of movie that I would want to watch. I know guys have a different perception of what constitutes a good movie. Let’s hope that the next movie by M. Night Shyamalan, maybe two years from now, will actually improve. It has been going downhill for him since The Sixth Sense, even though I am utterly unimpressed with that either!

I was checking the cinema listings to see if there’s anything nice to watch apart from superhero movies, which I have been overdosed with lately, when I spotted this movie, Made of Honor. Well, I have seen its poster a little while back but I guess it slipped my mind. if you like Grey’s Anatomy, you’d probably enjoy Patrick Dempsey in Made of Honor. Me, I love romantic comedies!

I dot know about you but before getting my tickets to a movie, I do not mind checking it out on the internet and even catching its trailer on YouTube. Some people do not want spoilers but not me.

Made of Honor makes a great watch for couples but even though I am unattached, I know that this is the kind of movie that will give me an enjoyable time. However, what I look for in a movie is something that will make me remember it a long time down the road. Will Made of Honor be able to provide me that? We shall see.
