Movie Night: 01.18.08
A movie trailer I saw over the last few months intrigued me. At first it seemed kinda dopey, then all of a sudden, the party is broken up by a rather large incident.
I’m referring of course to Cloverfield. Tonight’s opening night, and although I've said that once I go Blu-Ray you can count me out of the movie scene, there’s one piece of the puzzle that’ll prevent me from staying indoors tonight: The movie is produced by Paramount, one of only two companies holding out on the HD-DVD side of the fight (losing fight, I might add). So, since it’ll probably be at least a year or more before this movie hits the Blu-Ray shelves – if not longer – I’m going to splurge tonight and partake in this “Movie Night Out” experience once more.
Review to follow, but of the few one-liners I’ve read, it appears that it’s basically “Godzilla-meets-blair-witch.” Which I hope isn’t literal or too Frankenstein, because quite frankly I could do without ever seeing either of those movies on their own.
But hey, maybe it’s one of those things where two wrongs make a right. You know, two ugly people getting together, bumping super-uglies, and producing Marisa Miller or Heidi Klum or something.
Or maybe two ugly people get together and produce Quasimodo. God I hope not. Especially after $20 in tickets.
Peace
