We went to see Cloverfield on Sunday. I didn’t know much about it in advance, just that it’s got good reviews. In fact on IMDB it gets a whopping 7.9 out of 10.

I however, did not enjoy the film. The main problem was the use of hand held cameras all the way through. I thought that this worked well in ‘The Blair Witch Project’ but in this film it made me really nauseous. And it wasn’t just down to the bumper bag of Skittle I consumed during the trailers.

That was enough to ruin it for me. But that aside, I couldn’t work out what the monster was doing in New York. I mean for something as big a sky scraper you’d think the Americans would’ve seen it coming. What with their early warning defense systems and all. But maybe I missed something as I looked away to avoid the rainbow of fruit flavours making an encore.
