movies.yahoo.com/premieres/5956065/standardformat/In an era where the mediocrity/lameness of RESIDENT EVIL pictures and Robert Rodriguez are celebrated, its nice to see Neil Marshall, probably the closest we'll ever get to a true John Carpenter, still making movies.... and well, DOOMSDAY practically does look like ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK meets 28 DAYS LATER.... Except I'm sure its better than LATER, if at least Marshall continued his surprisingly good work as he showed in DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT*. *=With the real ending, not that stupid American ending.

I've seen Dog Soldiers and have heard nothing but good things about the descent.
(Might get it out this weekend).
Doomsday will hopefully find an audience.

If you check out THE DESCENT, do see it with its UK ending, and not that stupid new ending that the distributor thought Americans would prefer. To put another way, without spoiling, how great that UK ending and better it is... Imagine THE SHINING's ending, but replace that great dolly track shot to Jack Nicholson's mug, and instead its an idiotic "jump scare"* shot that audiences don't fall for anymore. *=Only time it worked was CARRIE. |

That looks great.
Dog Soldiers was excellent.

Both Dog Soldiers & Descent were awesome

Not when Paul W.S Anderson is involved Exactly my point. He's a poison pill. With DOOMSDAY, there is hope because its Marshall. |
