Mark Wahlberg: The Happening and Max Payne

Poor Mark Wahlberg: a little over a year ago, he was sitting in the front row at the Academy Awards ceremony listening to his name being read as one of the five Best Supporting Actor nominees for his role The Departed.  Well, awards time is rolling around again and there’s one group that will definitely be honoring the former Marky Mark’s work in 2008: the Razzies.  It’s not just that Wahlberg was unfortunate enough to headline two of year’s dumbest movies–M. Night Shyamalan’s laughably awful “horror” picture The Happening and the unwatchable video game-based action flick Max Payne–he also delivered career-worst performances in both.  In fact, the only thing of value he did in 2008 was inspiring that awesome SNL sketch, “Mark Wahlberg Talks to the Animals.”  In fact, let’s see that clip again.
