In 'Happening,' a sense of doom at the end of the world Jun 13, 2008
We're in Apocalypse Right Now territory then, a genre whose surges of mass panic are familiar from "The Day After Tomorrow," "Cloverfield," "The Mist," and Spielberg's "War of the Worlds," among many others. These movies exist to reflect and package (and resolve) our nagging fears of extinction; they take the powerlessness we feel from reading the headlines and sell it back to us with popcorn.

An inconvenient truth in Alexis Rockman's work Jun 13, 2008
His paintings, all of them here on heavily gessoed paper rather than canvas, harness imagery we associate with Hollywood disaster movies like "Twister" and "The Day After Tomorrow," but convey it in roiling paintwork that conjures the high romance of painterly self-expression. Sometimes, it has to be said, he really pulls it off. (Boston Globe)

Time stands still| Mar 20, 2008
It certainly doesn't bother director Roland Emmerich ('Independence Day', 'Godzilla', 'Day After Tomorrow') who apparently didn't feel the need to learn a thing about the year 10000 BC before he made a movie with that very name. He also decided it wasnt necessary to know anything about natural history, evolution, pre-historic man, the pyramids, the Nile or basic ecology. (iAfrica.com)

'10000 BC' quest for early flair is just too Neanderthal Mar 8, 2008
Anyone who thinks they don't make 'em like they used to will be glad to discover "10,000 B.C." The movie, from director Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day," "Godzilla," "The Day After Tomorrow"), isn't trying for the realism of "Quest for Fire," the 1981 drama that's still the Cro-Magnon opus to beat. Emmerich just wants to make a simple, old-style adventure about the power of myth and pelt-wearing homo sapiens in love. (New York Daily News)

Director Has His Day With '10,000 BC' Mar 7, 2008
While he wowed audiences with the visual effects in the modern day settings in the blockbusters "Independence Day," "Godzilla" and "The Day After Tomorrow," director Roland Emmerich faced a stark irony in getting his latest epic, "10,000 BC" to come to life on the big screen. Essentially, the writer-director-producer was stuck in the middle of a back to the future catch-22: To bring to life a film set in pre-historic times, Emmerich had to wait for technology to catch up.
