Cloverfieldzilla
I recently went to see Cloverfield and must say it is an interesting take on the monster genre. First of all, take note that this movie is basically, Blair Witch meets Godzilla. Basically, just watch the trailer and you’ll kinda know what i mean. Its also not for those with a weak stomach as its meant to have an amateurish feel. (hence the Blair Witch) Apparently some people ran out the cinema puking. (Didn’t happen when I was there though) But you gotta really feel for the New Yorkers though. It seems now ever since 9/11, (actually, even BEFORE that) Hollywood can’t help but make NY the city they love to destroy. Take for example Independance Day, King Kong, Godzilla, I am Legend and now, Cloverfield. I guess there must be something about the place…
BUT! My advice to anyone who goes watch it, is to stay till the very END, after the credits roll and all that. Just so you can hear some fuzzy and freaky weird radio transmission which kinda tells you whatever happens AFTER the end of the movie. Well, if you can’t wait though and wanna ruin the movie, you might as well click on this SPOILER LINK.
(note: this link is to Jason A Clark, who has a brilliant blog about movies and stuff. It’s really really cool so make sure you check it out. He really did do alot of work for the SPOILER bit in Cloverfield which is why I linked to him. So check out his blog for more interesting stuff!!)
Honestly, I think the movie was pretty decent. Pretty nice roller coaster ride and worth the trip to the cinema. I just hope they don’t plan to make a big budget trilogy and bring in all these famous big name stars. But knowing the US of A, it’s probably very likely….
I have to agree with you. I thought the movie was pretty good. I’d be interested in a sequel if they did a smart one…not sure about bringing in stars.
Thanks for the link too!
gotcha! nice stuff! blog more doh.
