The Happening

By

Slightly expanded review, mostly a repost from my old Flixster set Never let it be said that I only blog about movies I like. I do enjoy movies immensely, and so I do go into every one prepared to love it. Why wouldn’t you? Plus, I’ll admit, I’m pretty much a sucker for M. Night Shyamalan […]
