CLOVERFIELD (MICHAEL STAHL-DAVID, ODETTE YUSTMAN, GODZILLA;2008)


WAITING FOR HIS STAR TREK REMAKE TO THRILL THE WORLD, J.J. ABRAMS DECIDED TO REMAKE GODZILLA WITH A CAMCORDER. THE CAMERA IN THIS MONSTER MOVIE SHAKES MORE THAN AN EPILEPTIC. THE BUDGET FOR THIS FILM MUST'VE BEEN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 28 AND 29 DOLLARS. YET SOMEHOW J.J. MANAGED TO PULL IT OFF. AS FAR AS MONSTER MOVIES GO, THIS ONE IS WELL DONE, UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL...THAT IS IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF, OR SAW, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. SOME VIEWERS MIGHT NOT ENJOY HOW THIS FILM INDIRECTLY PREYS ON OUR FEARS OF TERRORISM AND INFECTION, OR DISEASE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO WATCH THIS WITHOUT WANTING TO BEHEAD SOME EXTREMISTS, EVEN THOUGH A GIANT "SOMETHING" IS THE ACTUAL ENEMY. I RECOMMEND VIEWING THIS DISTURBINGLY FUN HOME VIDEO, BUT BE SURE TO SIT IN THE BACK OF THE THEATRE, UNLESS YOU ENJOY VOMITING. -THE MOVIE JERK
