Doom

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

Better than I expected, but there definitely things that were not in this movie that I would’ve like to have seen (original Doom helmet, more on the “portal to Hell” storyline). Monsters were very well done. Story… like I said, could’ve used more from the actual game storyline, but it wasn’t horrible. Acting; not terrible… [...]

Transporter 2

Worse than the first Transporter. Fast forward to the fight scenes and just watch those.

Surprisingly good. I wasn’t familiar with the Firefly series prior to watching this (other than knowing that it’d existed at some point). Very competent acting, despite a few cheeseball moments. The story is what really works for this one. Incredibly tooled together. See this if you have a chance.
