So Serra and I went to see Cloverfield today....
AWESOME movie, if you can appreciate it. Think Blair Witch + Godzilla and you've got a start. It's all handheld camera, and there's no soundtrack until the credits. We agreed it rawked, but that we'd probably not go see it again (a bit too disturbing for us).
What we -didn't- enjoy was the packed theater because it was filled with mostly kids who hollered and laughed and hooted through the whole thing. The ending is fairly atypical, and many said patrons got all grouchy.
Anyways it was very good. Recommended, but it's not your typical popcorn flick.
