There is another movie opening this weekend…

It’s called YOUNG @ HEART, and by all accounts, it could be the best of the three.

 Here’s the trailer:

What’s happening, Hulk?

Two fairly big summer movies opening today — M. Night Shyamalan’s THE HAPPENING and Marvel Comics’ second attempt at their mean, green guy, THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

Trouble is, they’re both getting so-so reviews. THE HAPPENING is apparently a step back from Shyamalan’s last fiasco, THE LADY AND THE WATER, but nowhere nearly as good as his earlier films. Critics say THE INCREDIBLE HULK isn’t as smart or entertaining as IRON MAN, but a lot faster and more fun than the Ang Lee’s 2003 take on the character, HULK. (Strange to think that the same guy who directed BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN directed that movie, isn’t it?)

I’m actually going to see a movie this weekend (as a matter of fact, two — my daughter and I will be checking out KUNG FU PANDA), with a viewing of THE HAPPENING on Saturday. I’ve read the reviews (carefully, to avoid spoilers), but I’m still looking forward to it. I hated LADY IN THE WATER, but am one of the few people who enjoyed THE VILLAGE. Hopefully I’ll like this one too.

If you see either one — or both — swing by the comment section and tell us what you thought. And please, especially in the case of THE HAPPENING, use spoiler alerts, OK? Thanks!
