Theatrical report

I couldn't watch all of Cloverfield because the camera work is all hand-held and that made me nauseous but the part I did see was entertaining. It's a bunch of dumb New Yorkers panicking when disaster strikes and doing entirely the wrong thing.

Duck and cover, people!

There was lots of violence, special effects and shooting (yay for soldiers!) so that was good. Also, apparently, everyone dies, so that's good, too.

If you can watch Blair of the worlds you'll like Cloverfield.

The action, horror movie Cloverfield is directed by Matt Reeves and stars Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel, Lizzy Caplan.
