I don't know how I forgot to blog about seeing The Happening last weekend. Oh, wait, yes I do. The movie was pretty stupid. Shyamalan movies are known for "the twist" right? Well this one doesn't have one at all, so I guess perhaps he shouldn't have set that expectation by formula writing. Furthermore, the premise is ridiculous. The R rating is completely forced by silly gore that seems completely out of context. The only saving thing about the movie is Zooey Deschanel and her big blue eyes. She's just adorable. Marky-Mark is annoying. (Come on! Come on! Feel it! Feel it!)
Today we saw Get Smart, and yes, Anne Hathaway is off of my annoying list and on to the hottie list. Finally she gets a movie where she's not a whiny bitch or a princess or some such shit. Steve Carell is of course comedy gold as usual, and delivers. While a little predictable, the twist was fun too. There was a lot more action than I expected. Hathaway in that dress and the little bob wig... yikes. Smoking hot. Put that in your princess Prada diary.
And sorry to Jeff and Kristin... we ended up going to see an earlier, closer showing because we had some other things on our agenda for the rest of the day. :)
