cloverfield

talk about a dizzying experience, cloverfield took the blair witch project route in telling a story of new york city being under a monster attack. nothing much was said about what was the monster all about, the movie just showed the destruction of manhattan and the critters that were literally coming out of the "monstah"... all of which were the background for a love story. yes... another love story, that of a young couple on the brink of break-up and that so-called moving on after a vague journey between friendship and love. since all blair witch project characters died, all cloverfield main characters also died, leaving just the recorded video of what happened that almost 24-hour ordeal.

Rob Hawkins: Still filming?
Hud: Yeah, people are gonna want to know... how it all went down.
Rob Hawkins: Well, you can just tell them how it all went down, Hud.
Hud: No, that wouldn't work. People need to see this, you know? It's gonna be important. People are going to watch this.
Hud: Okay, just to be clear here, our options are: die here, die in the tunnels, or die in the streets. That pretty much it?
Lily Ford: Do you guys know what it is, out there? Do you know what that thing is?
Lead Soldier: There ain't nobody telling me. Whatever it is, it's winning.

just another one of those movies you want to see... if you don't have anything to do at all.
