Godzilla meets the Blair witch

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2009)

cloverfield is a weird disturbing shaky movie that is similar to the Blair witch project in terms of documentary,actually mockumentery.i had seen it at a run down movie theater with my ex girlfriend and two of her friends,and i was the only one that enjoyed it.even though the seat i was sitting in was literally falling apart.well you get that sometimes with the cheap movie houses.anyway cloverfield is very well made and the disaster scenes are done very realistic.the monster is not shown too much.i think the director took a cue from Roger Corman. don't confuse this to a Godzilla movie,the actors and actresses are all likable characters.the only actor i recognize from other films is Chris Mulkey(Hank Jennings on the twin peaks TV series from 1990-91)well Chris mulkey plays a military leader.cloverfield is a very original movie that i totally recommend.i think it was well worth the $2.00 admission price and sitting on the broken seat.by the way cloverfield takes place in new york city.and the twenty something characters in the movie all act like regular people.its like watching someones home movie from a camcorder,yes like Blair witch project only much better,much scarier,and more graphic.if you ever have the chance,watch cloverfield.its pretty good.8 out of 10.
