doomsday was fucking horrible. i mean, can we please make up our minds what fucking era we wanna be in?? are we post apocalyptic or are we in fucking camelot? absolutely ridiculous. i haven't been so pissed after seeing a film in theatres since 30 Days of Night. not even Malcolm McDowell could save this one.
now, after bashing Doomsday, i wanna say how much Brotherhood of the Wolf fucking rawked... i saw that one in 2001 when it was released, and i was totally impressed. i thought it was a very visually pleasing film and the story was good as well. very very cool.
and one last comment, i have to say that Falling Down is a really great movie also... i had never heard of it until it was recommended to me years ago back in indy, but after watching it i had to own it. the scene where he goes in the restaurant to try and buy breakfast... priceless. michael douglas at his best.
