Pros: Cool monster, tons of suspense. Cons: The female lead kind of sucks.
After what seems like an eternity filled with rumored name changes (I’ve lost count of how many names this film has “reportedly” had during its production), insane viral marketing, countless television ads, and a hype level just a notch below Snakes on a ...
Pros: Short, interesting monsters. Cons: Distracting film technique, poor character development, non-existent plot line.
I had to stop at the store after picking my daughter up from her dad's today and noticed this movie at the checkout. I had looked at it a week or so ago, thought it looked interesting, but opted out due to the $20 price tag. I was more willing to spend ...
Pros: A trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on it. Cons: That the DVD was actually able to play in my player.
If you've paid attention around here at all, you'll know that I'm a huge Godzilla fan, going back to the seventies when I was a small kid watching dubbed pan and scan versions on a fuzzy UHF black and white television on Sci-Fi theater. I've seen ...
Pros: Heart racing scenes, plenty of thrills...Good cast and interesting concept Cons: The effects of that hand held camera work might have been worse in the theater
I've always been a fan of horror movies and, if they featured a monster of some kind, better yet. So, when I first heard of Cloverfield my interest peaked, not enough to see it in a theater, though I did think of doing so when the movie first ...
Pros: Suspenseful, scary and fun Cons: Why did it seem like this monster was only after these main characters?
the story This is the story about a video camera. The movie begins with a nice video document of Jason and his gorgeous date Beth going to and enjoying Coney Island Amusement Park on a beautiful day. The date gets ...
Pros: Nice touch with the handheld camera, cool monster. Nice and different. Cons: People still breaking all the cardinal rules of monster arrivals.
Poor Rob. He was about to become Vice President at a company in Japan. This was supposed to be his going away party. He was supposed to leave New York tomorrow. But something—no one knows what—has arrived in the city. It’s big, ...
Pros: Nice looking women, monster concept was cool. Cons: 15 words don't even scratch the surface.
First of all let me start out by apologizing to anyone who actually liked the Blair Witch Product. I thought it was a brilliantly promoted movie that turned out to be nothing more than a home made looking movie that frankly a bunch of kids with an ...
Pros: Exciting, engrossing. Cons: The monster is silly.
For those unfamiliar with this term--- Macguffin refers to something: an identity revelation, a seeing of something heretofore unseen by a viewer.. etc etc.. upon which a movie's plot hinges. Macguffins might be called the already pulled-pin grenades ...
Pros: Great acting & screenplay. Unique perspective. Hi-quality HD A/V. Great subplot. Actually scary. Cons: Unique perspective may not work for some.
What's MY Inspiration? This Review Reveals few, if Any, Plot Details not Apparent from the Trailer "Say--I've got a GREAT idea! Let's make a potentially GREAT Godzilla-type movie, but based in America, spend GOBS on ...
Pros: Good acting and excellent special effects Cons: Some scenes are too far fetched, even for sci-fi!
I've never seen Godzilla. That must make me a newbee to the world of sci-fi monster movies, but I liked Cloverfield, for the most part. The FBI is investigating a case filed under CLOVERFIELD, name of the area formerly known as Central Park. ...
Pros: A tense, well-done monster mash with dazzling CG and a likable cast. Cons: I still can't afford a camcorder
Son of a - ! Pal, you have got to see this one! This is a bonafide summer extravaganza masquerading as a wintertime release. And, yes, it's eardrum-shattering loud and special effects heavy, but, amazingly, CLOVERFIELD also has heart. At a frenetic hour ...
Pros: Impressive visual effects. Realistic acting & dialogue. Good portrayal of utter panic and helplessness. Cons: Too much shakiness with the camera. No real concern for the characters.
Probably like 95% of the people who saw the first snippets of footage of the new J.J. Abrams flick Cloverfield, I was grabbed with interest from the start. Come on, who wouldn't be interested in finding out more about the huge explosion seen in ...
Pros: Good concept for a monster movie.
Good story.
Good acting.
Graphics were pretty good. Cons: NOT original at all.
Constant movement in the camera made it annoying.
Hud is ANNOYING!
This one will probably be pretty quick, but I just had to write and say that Sarita and I saw Cloverfield a little while ago and I must admit that while I don’t think it lived up fully to the hype it created, I still found it to be a pretty good ...
Pros: Intricately crafted; awesome special effects, an overwhelming ride into terror. Cons: The medium that serves it also makes it nerve wracking.
Cloverfield has been called a modern day Godzilla. I disagree vehemently; Godzilla was a metaphor for the fears of a world wrestling with the implications of nuclear war. Cloverfield is not a metaphor for anything. The Premise is simple; a boy is ...
Here is a film that was so eagerly awaited by me that as soon as the DVD hit the shelves, I was there, buying one for myself. My hubby was not so enthusiastic and greeted my purchase with the words "it looks like a load of rubbish". Well not exactly ...
