Okay, I finally saw 'Cloverfield'.
Concept? - Interesting. Special F/X? - Great! The Creatures? - Spooky! The story? - Completely pointless! A small spoiler below, if you haven't seen it yet. I was so glad when the Monster finally got a hold of 'Mr. Yuppie Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God with the video camera' - grabbed him up, chewed him up and spit him out. That dude was so annoying. I had a lot of trouble wondering what the story was supposed to be about and was totally left hanging in the end. Not for kids, no way. I'll never trust this' team again.

i saw the new Bond flick Quantum of Solace... it was pretty good but not mindblowing... the story was very disjointed tho, too much going on at once... i have to watch it again to figure out exactly what happened, but the action was good.

Posted by TMS: the action was too fast for me... or at least the editing was. I was blown away with the opening scene of the previous movie and the car chase of this one was flat. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

Posted by 4949: My biggest problem was with the camera work, you have to work at it with digital camera's these days to shake that much with all the image stabilizers. They could have given the camera to Michael J Fox and it would have shaked less. Anyway I absolutely adore Kung Fu Hustle so will give CJ7 a try. |

I was in the mood for a silly movie while I worked out and started watching GET SMART but shut it off when he was fumbling in the Airline bathroom. Just did not hold me.
Ok, its a polite was of saying it sucked. |

Posted by Nalod: It really didn't get going until about close to the halfway mark. Then I thought it turned out to be a good film. I'll never trust this' team again.

I'm waiting for Beverly Hills Cop 4 to come out. Eddie Murphy needs another good movie and not that family comedy crap.

Posted by Knicksfan:Posted by GKFv2: Yeah, me too. BTW, they really ARE making BHC4. It's coming out in 2010. Right now though I read that the leaked script is kinda not that funny and all action. And Rosewood(Judge Reinhold) dies in the beginning of the film. Hopefully they change it. "If I see these refs in front of me I will F* kill them. F** them!

saw some more movies:
step brothers- HILARIOUS! i love the apatow humor so this is up my alley. i like farrell in r-rated comedies more so he can let lose and he does here. very vulgar and a lot of profanity. not for everyone but the b-day party video was the funniest scene in the film. funny games- this is similar to strangers except a lot worse. very sadistic and the ending unsatisfying. moved at a snails pace and the ciematography was annoying for me. wanted to see punisher warzone this weekend since i am a true marvelhead but i did not hear good things about it. it is a shame since the character has potential. this is the 3rd try so i guess three strikes and you are out. i will wait for it on video and knowing lionsgate, it will not take long before it is on video. |

Posted by martin:Posted by TMS: Thought the movie was a solid 3* movie. Not quite as good as the last but still solid. I thought the action was great and the opening car scene was great. Briggs-- Frank is 2 yrs away from being 2 years away
