| By Furious, on February 11th, 2009  Regardless of the warnings I received, I was bound and determined to see The Happening. There’s no way, I said, that it can be as bad as everyone says. They’re all jaded because of M. Night Shyamalan’s undying love of the twist ending, that’s all. I’ll see it and enjoy it, just like his under-appreciated The Village.

Not only is this a great holiday movie, it’s also always near the top of worst movie ever made lists.
Nearly everything about the movie is bad. Odd story, bad acting, worse costumes, absent production values, and uncomfortable scenes between Santa and the kids.

The children of Mars are looking for something to relieve the boredom of Martian life, [...] Continue reading Public Domain Movie Of The Week: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians By Furious, on November 4th, 2008 Next up for the Farrelly Brothers will be perhaps the most ambitiously repugnant thing they’ve attempted yet, a Three Stooges movie.
