Doomsday Review And Spoiler
It's easy to say that "Doomsday" is simply a mish-mash of "The Road Warrior", "Escape from New York", "Aliens", and "28 Days Later" and leave it at that. But doing so leaves out the birth of a new hero that should grace the screen for hopefully a couple more installments.
In "Doomsday", Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) and a small group of British commandos must find the source of a possible cure to save an infected Britain from the Reaper virus. The virus is thought to have been contained 20 years ago, but is now resurfacing to wreak havoc once again. The contamination zone happens to be the entire country of Scotland, where the original outbreak occurred. Scotland is now a waste land and has been since it was locked down behind high tech walls for the past 20 years. Scotland is also thought to be devoid of life by the world population. However, the British government, for reasons of its own, kept secret the existence of some civilization within the ruins.
Our hero, Eden Sinclair is a survivor of the original holocaust when she was but a little girl. Her mother begged a group of fleeing soldiers to take her before Scotland was completely shutdown from the rest of the world. Over twenty years later, she's an elite, tough-as-nails soldier of the British military. Sinclair must track down a research doctor left inside Scotland who would have been capable of finding a cure all those times from within.
That set the stage for an unapologetic gritty sci-fi action movie not afraid to be grizzly when necessary. Although the scenes and segment plots are familiar, some even argue "lifted" from the aforementioned movies, "Doomsday" is a worthy throwback to 80's style action films we enjoy. The car chases are furious. The fights are bloody. And the bad guys, for lack of better words, are highly entertaining.
Sol (Craig Conway), the Mohawk-ed leader of the city savages, voraciously drives his hordes with hate and fear. At times, his antics are clownish and over-the-top, making me chuckle. However, for all the cruelty and raw brutality that Sol and his band exhibit, Sinclair is even crazier, not afraid to drive headlong into a bus risking harm to herself and her companions.
Malcolm McDowell portrays the bitter Kane, the leader of a small village adopting a medieval, low technology lifestyle to deliberately avoid satellite detection. Kane was a research doctor working with the military before the lockdown and the object of Sinclair's search. But since he lost his family and everything he cared for during the lockdown, Kane detests everything and anything outside the walls of Scotland and refuses to cooperate with Sinclair. Once again, the actions within Kane's village, specifically, the arena fight pits a modern-day tactical warrior (Sinclair) against a heavily-armored knight (Kane's champion and executioner) in close combat. The fight is enjoyable showcasing Sinclair's better training, skills and resourcefulness in beating the knight.
All in all, "Doomsday" is a great first movie that ought to have sequels and a cult following. The action-packed sequences usually with gruesome outcomes are not for children. And the movie ending certainly calls for more as it alluded that Sinclair is going to be the new leader of the savage hoard.

Top 10 Comedy Films
So what is it exactly that distinguishes the good comedy films from the great? Is it their ability to endure, the way their humor creeps up on you or takes you by surprise? Maybe it's a great script, perfect timing or one-liners that hit the mark every time? Whatever it is, great comedy films leave a lasting impression and have an ability to engage us. They allow us to lower our defenses and share in the joy and the pain of the characters, as we identify with their situations. Ultimately, truly great comedy allows us to laugh at ourselves.
10. There's Something About Mary
Arguably the best Farrelly brothers movie to date, they take a story about stalkers and turn it into a comedy. Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) still longs for his prom date Mary Jensen (Cameron Diaz) years after losing track of her following an unfortunate accident on prom night. He eventually decides to hire a private detective to track her down, the only problem being, that the private detective falls in love with her too. Seems like Mary is every man's dream girl. This movie produced many classic scenes, some you have to see to believe.
9. Airplane!
Considered by many to be the classic slapstick comedy. Airplane! tells the story of Ted Striker, who has never been able to fly a plane since an "incident" in the war. Striker is forced into action when a mysterious disease (don't order the fish) knocks out the crew. Airplane! is so jam-packed with jokes you'll need to see it a few times to catch them all.
8. Meet the Parents
This movie takes a potentially awkward situation that most people can relate to and takes it to the extreme. Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) tries to impress his girlfriends parents, but the father-in-law to be (played by Robert De Niro) is an ex CIA agent and is very mistrusting of Greg. Everything Greg tries to do ends up with disastrous consequences from losing the families cat, to giving his future sister-in-law a black eye. You can't help but cringe and laugh at the same time at Greg's misfortunes.
7. Blades of Glory
Following a fight at a medal awards ceremony, champion skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) are banned from competitive skating for life. Years pass and circumstances bring them together for another chance at the podium, but this time in the "men's doubles". The story follows their hilarious preparations for the event; all-the-while dogged by attempts from the brother/sister pairs team of the Van Waldenbergs to sabotage their efforts.
6. Coming to America
One of the last great Eddie Murphy movies before his return in the late 90s. Coming to America tells the story of Prince Akeem (Murphy) coming to America to find himself a wife who will love him for who he is after rejecting the idea of an arranged marriage. A fish out of water story, Akeem can't help but act with dignity even when working at the local fast food restaurant. He soon finds the women of his dreams but will she love him when she discovers he is a Prince from a far away land? A great story with very funny scenes and lots of cameos to look out for.
5. Borat
The story centers on Borat, the Kazakhstani reporter sent to the US to prepare a report for the benefit of his countrymen back home. Things don't quite go according to plan as Borat falls madly in love with Pamela Anderson after seeing her in Baywatch. Borat decides to go to California to meet and marry her and encountering all sorts of people and situations along the way. Told in classic road trip style, the many adventures of Borat are sometimes crude, but often hilarious at the same time. The most amazing thing is that Borat is taken at face value by virtually everyone he meets with hilarious and sometimes jaw-dropping results.
4. This is Spinal Tap
This is the classic "rockumentary" - a spoof of so many other on-the-road, rock 'n roll documentaries. It tells the story of Spinal Tap, a washed up British rock band returning to the US for another tour. What we end up with is a hilarious send-up and sometimes a biting commentary on the rock 'n roll world. The band goes through inevitable ups and downs through their tour after their latest album cover is deemed too racy and is completely blacked out. The band breaks up only to reform (in typical rock and roll fashion) and to make more money on yet another tour.
3. Groundhog Day
Phil Conners (Bill Murray) somehow gets stuck replaying the same day over and over again... Groundhog Day. Like most people, at first it seems like fun, but after reliving the same day 100s of times, Phil becomes suicidal and tries to take his own life. After finding out he can't die, he tries every conceivable way to kill himself. He eventually realizes this is pointless and starts to learn about the people and the town he's stuck in and falls in love with his producer, Rita (Andie McDowell).
2. Sleeper
During a routine operation Miles Monroe (Woody Allen) is cryogenically frozen and then brought back to life 200 years later. The future looks bleak and is controlled by a big brother like government headed by "the Leader". Monroe ends up joining the underground resistance with hilarious consequences. Perhaps the most memorable scene in the movie is when Miles "disguises" himself as an android. This film is noted for its more visual and slapstick gags than many of Woody Allens's later movies.
1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Considered by many to be Monty Python's finest work, the Holy Grail retells the classic story of King Arthur, but does away with most of the classic story. Instead, the king searches for knights to come to Camelot with him; along the way God appears to tell them to search for the Holy Grail. Their noble quest sees the majority of the knights killed off in funny ways until only two make it to the end. What happens there is one of the funniest and most absurd scenes ever filmed.

The Healing Presence of Pets
As a young boy, I would sit in anticipation for the prime time television show series Lassie. For those of you that aren't familiar with Lassie, he was a fictional Collie dog character that initially appeared in a novel, which was made into a feature film Lassie Come Home (starring Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor). Lassie's trusted owner was a little boy named Timmie. Lassie would always be there for him or anyone else in need of help. Lassie was truly a trusted canine companion.
One morning while in my hospital bed staring at a wall, really feeling down and depressed, I noticed a large dog walking pass my door! At first I thought I was hallucinating. But after a few minutes passed there he was again with a woman holding his leash. Immediately I felt that same warm feeling I used to get while watching Lassie on television or even the many times I had spent with my own dogs over the years. The short silver grey hair dog stood very tall in the doorway of my room. He looked like a Great Dane. His owner, a kind lady holding the leash, asked me if they could come into my room and visit me. I replied; "absolutely!"
As this very tall dog approached my bedside, I anticipated meeting a new friend as he placed his big furry head on my bed. I was unable to move my arms but my hands were at my side and I was able to pivot my hand at the wrist and glide it over his head. As I did this, he had a very casual look on his face as our eyes connected. It was a look of expectancy, so simple as if he wanted to say to me that I have nothing to worry about, this health condition will pass.
I sensed he could feel my frustration, worry and all the other emotions that go along with severe illness. I have no idea why I had this interpretation but I am grateful for that visit and the fact that Mother Nature made arrangements for this "therapy dog" to visit and, as a bonus, would be tall enough to reach me as I lay in my bed.
That experience touched my spirit with an unconditional love that pets share with many of us on a regular basis. I felt an inner peace and calm while petting him. My purpose for this story is to remind you that your pet will share with you that spiritual boost you need to continue your healing path. If you don't own a pet, then ask friends to bring theirs for a visit or stop by a local pet store and hold a puppy. Feel the puppy's youthful spirit and embrace it. Pets are sensitive and have feelings. When this is combined with a craving to please it translates into an inner desire to heal too.
This is an excerpt from Dr. Aristotle's book Change The Way You Heal.
Aristotle Economou, "Dr. Aristotle," D.C., L.Ac.,(Az)Dipl.Ac. (IAMA), F.I.A.M.A., is sought after by patients for his extensive clinical experience, including his role in a historical medical research exchange throughout hospitals in the People's Republic of China. Dr. Aristotle's work has been featured in Natural Health, Health, CBS Healthwatch, Advance for Directors in Rehabilitation, Beverly hills 213 Magazine, The Los Angeles Technology News and other national media. As a speaker, he shares his remarkable story of healing and perseverance when he recovered from complete muscle paralysis in 2006 using techniques in holistic medicine. He inspires hope for those suffering from illness and is also a resource for other health practitioners.
He is in private practice and lives in Carmel, California.
