DOOM= teh awesome.
I'm sure some people are going to find a way to mac on the doom movie, but their uppance will come; I found few faults with it. True, it didn't stay consistent with the plotline of its namesake, and It was disheartening to watch it turn into another zombie movie, but when I think back on it, Doom didn't really have a plot anyways. So in that aspect it acheived its goal, i guess.
The other complaint I got was that it starts out slow. Big Deal. You want instant action? Go rent transporter 2. Regardless of what the cynics want to say, the first person sequences more than made up for any shortcomings of the piece.
Sage ranking: 4.5/5

SERENITY
Now, I don't like a lot of the movies I see. Actually, most of the movies Is ee I don't like. But I have a slight edge as I only see the movies I think I am going to like or make fun of without mercy/reserve. Serenity took on some issues for me as a critic. One was that I was not focused on the movie, as I should have been, but rather on the fine piece of tongue arranged inside my mouth.
From what I caught of it as a background movie, it was good. lots of explosions, and a genuine meld of wit and action, which is rare in cinema, it really is. I loved the Firefly series, and its a pity it was cancelled/shown out of order/raped by Rupert Murdoch. Serenity did justice in the form of plot, even though it was somewhat cliche (although as I try to stress everytime I review something, come on, originality is difficult after so many movies made). Now that I think about it, the plot is nearly identical to that of doom.
Back to the part about the tongue: this led to one of the more disconcerting moments in my life. After the movie I asked for her number (of course she gave it to me; I'm gotten damn smooth, and see no shame in admitting that). Then the following exchange took place.
Me: So what school do you go to, anyway?
Her: Wendler.
Me: *chokes* did you fail?
I don't think I'll call her.
4.5/5

So I got drunk last week. pretty drunk, considering the conditions soon after. I think the exact amount was .21. and Ima do it again tomorrow. Why? Because being drunk is fun. It really is. Especially the part where you go home to your mom and explain that you're not in fact drunk. Your two friends that you're with aren't either. In fact, nobody's drunk, because as far as your "virgin son" knows, alcohol is the devil. Goodnight Mom.
