...Also in the way, on this meandering trip to another climactic shootout, are a few detectives (John Leguizamo, Donnie Wahlberg and the always smart, luscious, screen-saving Carla Gugino) and some perps: Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent, as a Harlem drug lord; Trilby Glover as a lawyer with a coke habit; Oleg Taktarov as a slab-torsoed Russian mobster. They're around mostly to provide alibis and victims, and for spaces between the dialogues of the stars...
...Philadelphia high school, science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) is yanked out of class to be told, along with the other teachers, about the events in New York City. No one's certain if it's a terrorist attack or a random quirk of nature, but "some kind of airborne chemical toxin" is spreading across the Northeast that's making people kill themselves. The pupils are sent home, and Elliot decides that he, his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) and his math-teacher buddy (John Leguizamo) will get out of town. The movie is the story of their flight...

Laced with bizarre histrionics and sluggish scare tactics, The Happening is an ill wind indeed...
...Scorsese’s love letter to Boston, “The Departed.” TAKE A SHOT… 1. Whenever Jack Nicholson scares the shit out of you. 2. Whenever Leonardo DiCaprio cries like a girl. 3. Whenever you remember that no matter how badass Mark Wahlberg is, he still sang “Good Vibrations” with the rest of the funky bunch. 4. Anytime anyone in the movie has a drink. 5. Whenever “Shipping up to Boston” makes you put on other Dropkick Murphys songs. 6. Whenever you realize...
