Confession : I have never seen an M. Night Shyamalan film. Mixed reviews tell me I likely am not missing much. But if there’s any day to see a scary movie (or a movie that promises to be scary) it’s today, Friday the 13th.
The Happening, opening today, is about some event, that could be anything from a terrorist attack, to aliens, to a monster, that is affecting parts of the United States, trapping them and leaving them unable to escape. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel as a couple facing their own internal relationship problems when the happening happens around them.
VivirLatino Meets the Talento Artistico of John Leguizamo and Kind of Didn’t Like Him!

The second TimesTalks event last night was a conversation with Colombian born, Queens bred actor, writer, director and producer John Leguizamo. This event packed the Times Center theatre with a diverse crowd. This TimesTalks was also moderated by Robin Pogrebin, whom Leguizamo called “baby” on one occasion as she asked tough questions from a stack of papers on her lap. He swaggered onstage to thunderous applause.
From the beginning of the conversation, it was clear how passionate Leguizamo is about his work and the reasons he started writing and acting. His writing, according to him, came from a place of anger, and was a response to seeing the same roles for Latino males: super, gangster, gardener, or janitor. He even brought up that the World War II documentary by Ken Burns excluded Latinos until Latinos organized against him.
