Doom:

To be fair, I have played the game. It involves a guy killing demons and the undead on Mars, occaisonally with a weapon known as the BFG9000. BFG stands for “Big Gun”.

This movie does not take place on Mars, nor does it involve demons or the undead. It also stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. There is, indeed, a BFG; only this time it stands for “Bio Force Gun”.

This movie is the cinematic equivalent of a donkey punch: it leaves you feeling hurt, violated, and it can drop your IQ by a good ten points.

I’ve never seen **Gone With The Wind** , but since **The Wizard Of Oz** (which I’ve seen) was also a 1939 movie, I think they were both part of a series that just never, uhm, took off.

**The Fast and The Furious** is an unflinching documentary look at the seamy world of “rough trade” and male prostitution. Vin Diesel, an actor previously known for relatively small roles in such films as **Saving Ryan’s Privates** , here volunteers to go undercover as an investigative journalist. Though the footage of the johns cruising in their often customized automobiles sometimes threatens to dominate the movie, it is Diesel’s interaction with these sad denizens of the night that finally makes the movie a spiritually uplifiting experience.
