Cloverfield

[bassie]

Soooooo, do you think Christian Bale is hot?

Amercian Psycho
So good!

Don't ever watch Laurel Canyon, he will turn into a simpering pile of vanilla shake in less than two hours before your eyes without the help of any special effects.

I hope it's even half as good as he's making it out to be.

This guy invokes "300" as a point of comparison and non-ironically. I'm not trusting the opinion.

"There are numerous suspenseful action scenes that ramp up the intensity in Cloverfield."

gee whiz!

I can't believe someone pays this guy to construct sentences such as that one.

Yeah. But to be totally honest. There wasn't really much for great action movies last year.

Oh, no doubt. But I'm just suggesting, "it's as exciting as "300"!!!" is not a big selling point. I'd see "Cloverfield" on the strength of J.J. Abrams alone though.

If you're in it for the big creature action (like a good deal of our audience last night) you'll get some really nice stuff, but know going in that you only get about 3 ?? minutes of the big creature and another 2 or 3 minutes of the smaller ones.

LOL.. 75 minutes of boring shaky camera and 6 minutes of CG. I'll pass.

Oof - that's the kind of spoiler no one wants to hear.

Gimme giant, ugly bugs, all the time!

I hope you're not clowning this movie.

Never that son.

This movie can be both:

One of the (unintentionally) funniest, over the top flicks this side of "Con-Air"

AND

A subtly masterful critique of fascism cloaked inside a giant bug invasion film (the same, alas, cannot really be said of "Con-Air")

This movie would be golden enough if only to see Neil Patrick Harris - SS-ed out no less - mind-melding with a giant, genius slug.

seeing the chick from 90210 get nekkid in the co-ed showers at the beginning was also a nice touch.

seriously though that scene when the troopers all first encounter the aliens upon landing is second only to the Private Ryan opener.

Oye god....I grew up in Laurel Canyon and was more than a wee bit bummed when that came out as the first movie to showcase the "scene." Garbage.

Anyone else feel an eerie similarity to..

Oh, I don't know...

maybe the mother Frickin' Blair Witch Project?
Then again, it is in color.
