Doomsday (I) (2008)
10/10
Fantastic Surprise
14 March 2008
I went into this movie with low expectations but high hopes. This movie fulfilled all of my expectations and more. The acting is good, as are all of the features of movie-making, such as editing, casting, etc. I don't mean this will win any Oscars or even be nominated for them, but there is little to complain about in that department.

The plot itself was a bit spotty, but I found that the setting more than made up for any shortcomings there. Rhona Mitra plays a great lead role, and some of my fears about the Underworld prequel have already been proved groundless. The setting is fantastic; there is the futuristic society, the mad max scenario, and a sort of medieval system in another part of the movie. The wide variety this movie offers in term of setting, events, and even genre fulfill my every wish for this film.

If you are thinking about going to this movie, and seems in the least bit interested, I advise you to not hesitate and go see it ASAP.

McHale's Navy (1997)
8/10
Underrated comedy gold
4 February 2008
OK for starters, this movie deserves far better than the 3.8 it currently holds, hence my 8/10. In truth, this film is a great piece of entertainment, and I can think of few films that are as mindless as they are funny. This is not meant to be Oscar material, but succeeds in entertaining from beginning to end.

Bruce Campbell of course makes this worth seeing by himself, but the rest of the cast hold their own. Tom Arnold usually is seen as a bad indicator of quality, but his cheesy dialog has its moments. Rent it, buy it, just watch it, and judge for yourself. It will not be a waste of time.
