He's Done It Again!!!

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2008)

M. Night has done it again. He's taken us on a journey to nowhere. How does this happen? It happens because he probably starts writing his story before he has his ending. The acting is terrible, and it's easy to understand why. These actors can't possibly have an idea how they're supposed to be feeling, based on this script. It should have been re-written as a spoof on eco-horror films. Bad...simply bad. Sure there's some creepiness here and there, but any first year film school student can produce a creepy moment. It's only relevant when done within a definable context and theme. The context and theme of The Happening is..."huh?" I'm going out on a limb here, willing to put my money where my mouth is, because I don't think Hollywood has any talent. It's a town of smoke and mirrors.
I am so certain that I can write a better script than any that M. Night has written, including The Sixth Sense, that I will bet any major studio executive or major producer $5,000 to be paid to their favorite charity, that I can write a scarier script with as good or better twist than any that M. Night has written. The judges can be any 3 script analysts of that executive's choosing. My email address is dhall58@gmail.com. I don't expect anyone in this town to pick up the gauntlet.
