Have you ever been hypnotized? That phrase ranks among the all-time cheesiest pick-up lines, yet the answer can be quite revealing about a person's beliefs and personality.

Confusing story line and bad directing plagues Doomsday

When I walked into my local cinema, my hopes for Doomsday dwindled. By the end of the film I was pretty satisfied, but terribly confused. I'll start at the beginning. First things first, Doomsday is not a zombie movie. Maybe I'm the only one who thought that, and maybe I'm the only one who really wanted to see a zombie movie, but that's really why I went to see the film.…
