Well well well… it’s been a while.
Yes, I apologize. I’ve been extremely busy, but hark! IS THIS AN UPDATE?! I do believe it is.
Ok, I have some valentines things on the way, if overdue. Give them to your loved ones as overdue tokens of love! They’ll swoon to your feet. Honest. Girls love it when you’re late on these things </sarcasm>. ANYWAYS! Some credible words:
I watched Cloverfield last week (yes, it was released on Feb 1st in the uk because THE WORLD HATES US) and I have to say it’s one of the best cinema experiences I’ve had in a long time. Judging by reviews and what other people have said, it seems to be a ‘love it/hate it’ movie. There are some real memorable moments though and for me, its one of those films you’ll be thinking about a few days after you’ve seen it and just reveling in how subversive it is. If a monster was to descend on new york, you can’t help but think that this is exactly how it would look. Though it’s a movie that A. HAS to be seen in the cinema to get the full effect and B. Isn’t really a movie you can watch again. But when you do watch it, it’s one hell of a roller coaster. Oh, and if you suffer from motion sickness and have ANY common sense, beware when watching this movie. Lots of shake camera work. Sit near the back is my advice. At least if you sit in front of some chavs/annoying people you can barf all over them.
Oh, and of course, lots of homages to Godzilla, which I loved. And in the last scene, at the seaside? Watch to the right of the screen. Trust me.
Gets two thumbs up from me.
OK, Now to play some burnout paradise and get these valentines things wrapped up. Adios.
