Weird lil’ moment for me this weekend. A guy named Lou Kije read my review on THE HAPPENING and actually posted a comment (still somewhat of a rarity for me). His comment was directed to his loathing of the movie and how I’d been too kind in my appraisal of it. Lou actually hated the…
Smile Like You Mean It
I’m getting a bit of deja vu. Seems like it was just last week that I was scratching my head why two studio pictures were opening against each other on an unlucky day. Oh, wait, that’s right – it was just last week. A mere seven days later, audiences will be witness to yet another…
