Doomsday Unrated Review

"Doomsday" is an apocalyptic gore fest, that for once I enjoyed, a lot.
"Doomsday" is set 27 years in the future. In the year of 2008 a deadly virus strikes the United Kingdom and threatens to spread and wipe out humanity. To prevent the spread of this disease,Scotland is quarantined and a wall is built, leaving all who live within to die. Millions are left to die and the whole world watches as a government turns its back. 27 years later in 2035, the once thought dead zone shows signs of life, just as the virus reappears inside the city of London. The government takes quick action to fence off the newly infected areas. They form an elite team led by Maj. Eden Sinclair (Rhonda Mitra) to go over the wall in search of survivors and a possible cure. Once over the wall the team soon discovers that this dead zone is not as abandoned as once thought, rather a dark and barbaric threat awaits. They must fight their way out and bring any hope of a cure back in order to save millions.

Ill start by saying the acting was a lot better then I thought it would have been. Usually a horror film like this doesn't fill its cast with a great group but I was very pleased. Not only did the lead Mitra play a great heroin that kicked some serious ***, but the rest if the cast didn't disappoint, especially Craig Conway who played Sol, the mo-hawked leader of the barbaric group living in the city. He played a very interesting and sick character, who was fun to watch but also truly disturbing at the same time. Id also like to mention Alexander Siddig, a rather unknown actor who played the Prime Minister in this film, he also appears in Syrian as Prince Nasir Al-Subaai , and I have just recently been noticing him and would like to see him in more films.

Action wise this film doesn't disappointed. Its got car chases,gun fights and gore galore. This was defiantly one of the bloodiest films Ive watched in a while, but it wasn't over done i think, which I liked.

Usually I don't like these types of films. Like Resident Evil and recent apocalyptic films usually don't go over well with me, and I usually hate them, but this one was different. It reminded me of Mad Max, Escape From New York and even Waterworld. It had a great lead who kicked *** and had very interesting and psychotic villains.

The film did have some flaws, and a few plot holes but not enough to really hurt the film is anyway. The plot was interesting in my opinion and I liked how they portrayed the people inside the wall, both groups, so different, living separate paths but each barbaric in their own way and era.

The film gets respect for actually being enjoyable, and its entertaining and essentially I believe it fulfilled what it planned to do. Critic wise this film wasnt well received, but its just one that can only appeal to a few. I will say now that many will not agree with me on this one, but I really enjoyed this one. Its got action and gore and stands side by side with Mad Max and Escape from New York, and I enjoyed it alot, 7/10.

Saint:The Love Guru Review
"The Love Guru" is a sign of Mike Myers fall from comedy gold to trash.
"The Love Guru" stars Mike Myers as Guru Pitka, a Guru whose careers revolves around his love advise. He is hired by Jane Bullard ( Jessica Alba) the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs whose star player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) has lost his touch, can no longer player because of a recent break up. Guru must help get him together ith his ex, while trying to resist his love for Jane.

To start, the acting is horrible. Mike Myers has never been worse, it is sad to see him min this. Alba is her dumb old self, and one must begin to wonder whether or not she even knows where she is, let alone the movies shes decides to be in. Apparently the girl doesn't care about her career, well I guess she doesn't have to with her looks. There were many actors in this film that I cant believe lent their voice and appearance, including Morgan Freeman and especially Bens Kingsley.

The comedy in this was....well nonexistent. I laughed maybe twice. The film is filled with either jokes from Myers's previous films, or from 20 minutes earlier in the film. Comedy wise, this film was one of the worst I have ever seen, because there was no comedy, Mike Myers has really lost his touch.

The story, like everything else, was bad. I mean the story moved at a high speed pace, everything came and went and problems were resolved in seconds, they build up the film for certain confrontations and when they occur they are one line of dialogue, a hug and everything is fine. Also the ending is crap, and by that point you arent surprised.

In the end, this movie isnt worth a viewing. It would be a waste of time and money to watch this, look at this, or even read this review. Im sad, sad to see that Mike Myers, the once funny guy from Waynes World and Saturday Night Live, has reverted to this type of movie. First Sandler, then Murphy and now Myers. I truly hated this film, one of the worst of the year 2/10.

New Laptop on The Way!
Okay , so my laptop broke at the beginning of the summer. I was watching a film and it began to freeze and make funny sounds, this after weeks of getting slower and slower. So I got a little too angry and hit it...opps. So yeah I apparently hit the hard drive causing an internal error. I reformatted multiple times but it never fixed, and it got to the point and still is at the point in which if I turn it off I cant turn it on, and have to reformat. So I decided to instead of fixing it, which would cost probably a lot of money, Id buy a new, better laptop. So I worked all summer until...
I finnally had enough for college books and a laptop, so I ordered a HP Pavilion dv6910us. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-dv6910us-15-4-Widescreen-Entertainment-Laptop-FE653UA-ABA/sem/rpsm/oid/214772/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
It is usually 780 bucks, but I got it on sale and in the end all I paid was $549, so what you all think? I wasnt out for a gaming computer because I plan to keep working and get a desktop, but this will be my life when I get back to school, for movies, games like Guild Wars and of course OT. I think it was a deal, I mean for 549 Im getting:
3 GB Ram
200 GB Hard Drive
AMD Turion X2 TL-60
A Built in Web Cam
Burns DVDs and CDs
has Light Scribe( sick little thing that eches pictures into the top of your dvd disks via your dvd drive)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M and 1071MB of shared video memory
15.4" high-definition widescreen display with 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution
...it should arrive tomorrow!
