Cloverfield

The Blair Witch Project goes to Manhattan.

Pretty much, that's it.

Of course, there is the requisite rip-off of 9/11 imagery to thrill, scare or revolt us, as the case may be.

Nice monster, though.

All the reviews I've read say the monster is kept hidden, but fear not. We get a nice, close look at it towards the end in a scene so sweet, I heard someone in the back say, Dude.

But, this is only a one DUDE movie.

The audience seemed abnormally agitated and VOCAL when the movie ended. One woman asked everyone in her aisle, should I recommend this to friends?

Well, Dearie, depends on your friends.

Did they like Blair Witch? Are they teenagers? Do they care if spoiled Yuppies get squished by gigantic, spider-like monsters?

If so, then this is the movie for them.

    i think i said dude a couple times, but only 2 of six of us liked it and two of them were so motion sick they couldn't watch it. i was pretty enthralled through the whole thing though-like totally sucked in, dude. esp. the subway night vision part-->that was scary.
