My Valentine

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2009)

My boyfriend and I saw Cloverfield in a movie theater while we were living in Georgia, on Valentine's Day to be exact. It was a cold night and we had been debating about which movie to see, but due to my initial interest when seeing the trailers on TV, we decided on this, and in my opinion, we made a great decision. I have only seen this movie once, but will eventually add it to our DVD collection. I personally enjoyed the entire movie-- I found it scary, thrilling, funny at times, and thought-provoking. The sound quality was amazing, and leaving the theater, the night seemed eerily quiet, and I was still so tense- half expecting to hear some freaky roar, gun shots, screams or see some gigantic creature plow through the area. I admit that I did have to close my eyes during some parts, and I squeezed/clawed my bf's left arm a little too much in fear. The most memorable, and meaningful, thing about this Valentine's night thrill-fest was the intertwining story of love and sacrifice throughout the movie, and the ending. Beth and Rob shouting their love for each other as they prepare to die was extremely moving. Thanks to this film, I can honestly say about February 14, 2008: ...I had a good day.
