"SEATTLE SUPERSTORM"
"Seattle Superstorm was one of the better SyFy Originals with its overload on action, a minimum of people sitting in closed rooms looking at computers and Grrl Power."
Film Critics United
This is pretty solid... the space needle coming down was brilliant!
Saturday B Movie ReelIt's ambitious within the eco disaster SyFy Original genre. Seattle Superstorm is as good as this limited genre can be... totally catch it if it's on TV.

"DOOMSDAY PROPHECY"
"At the end of the day, this is a fun Syfy Channel “End of the World” film."
Sciencefiction.com
"Overall this one moved pretty darn good. For a TV movie level, things have come a long way."
Saturday B Movie Reel
"As most know the majority of the SyFy offerings in films have been quite full of coprolite but they haven’t yet turned to stone. They are still warm and smelly yet people keep watching them. The reason they keep watching them is that every now and then you get a gem or in this case a Jewel like "Doomsday Prophecy".
Musings From Us
"One of the livelier SyFy Original movies I've seen, "Doomsday Prophecy" is a step or two above their usual fare. Fans of this kind of low-budget, high-concept stuff should have little trouble getting into it as it tries its darndest to entertain us. "
Doomsday Prophecy is a competent and perfectly capable science fiction thriller about Earth’s apparently numbered days. A fun ride full of “carnage candy”. Justpressplay.net
HK and Cult Film News
"Doomsday Prophecy will delight disaster/end-of-the-world movie fans."
"Takes a thorough and balanced look at the use of private security forces in Iraq and raises serious policy questions."
U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA)
”In addition to being extremely well-executed, I thought its even-handed tone was particularly sophisticated - encouraging an audience to consider the complexity of the issue, rather than the more exploitative depictions with which the subject is usually treated.”
Edward Zwick - Director of "Blood Diamond", Glory, Legends of the Fall
“Illuminating. Shows a different view of conflict than you'll get from the evening news.”
New York Times
“Powerful and Fair”
Amnesty International
“Fantastic - educational and entertaining”
Morgan Spurlock, Director of “Super Size Me”
“Sit up and pay attention. Explosive and energetic look at the controversial subject of modern-day 'mercenaries.'”
Variety
"THE 2 COREYS"
"I do think this series has the potential to be dreadfully addicting."
Television Blend
"Upon hearing the news, Haim breaks down in tears, and seeing Feldman compassionately tend to his rejected friend kind of got to me. As Feldman embraced Haim and whispered, “Dude, we were kids raised in this industry before we knew what the fuck we were doing,” I nodded my head in agreement and thought, “Right on, Corey.”
