The Day After Tomorrow Review |

Roland Emmerich is a "cheap gasp" director. He'll resort to any shock tactic
to make the audience gasp. This is the hack who blew up the White House,
dinobliterated Madison Square Garden, and now tornadoes the Hollywood sign.

While it may seem crazy (and credibility-shaking) for me to admit
that I had much more fun watching this movie than I did watching

of a film probably depends on
timing-timing-timing. If this movie wasn't one
of the headline summer offerings, I'm not sure if
people would be flocking to...more |

I kept thinking of two particular people while watching The Day After
Tomorrow, the latest disaster pic from the mildly talented (and possibly
mildly retarded) writer-director Roland Emmerich. I know Maynard James

disaster flick, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW has more in common with writer/director
