Cloverfield - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Thought maybe I should review this film now as many MIGHT think the film I reviewed yesterday,"Super 8"would be like this.As I said yesterday ,WRONG. Cloverfield is what "Blair Witch project"wasn't .Here we finally see the monster that a film only hints at.I took 1 star off because there is a unresolved ending leading to hope for a Cloverfield 2.
The movie is a film recording of some NYC yuppie types as a monster attacks. Pretty good stuff.Good music and some cool aliens when we finally see them.Released in 2008 it runs only 85 minutes.The cast is good if unknown.Trailer follows the pix and a summary from IMDB below.Do check it out.


Cloverfield follows five New Yorkers from the perspective of a hand-held video camera. The movie is exactly the length of a DV Tape and a sub-plot is established by showing bits and pieces of video previously recorded on the tape that is being recorded over. The movie starts as a monster of unknown origin destroys a building. As they go to investigate, parts of the building and the head of the Statue of Liberty come raining down. The movie follows their adventure trying to escape and save a friend, a love interest of the main character. Written by Pip Carlson
