Maybe I’m just easily entertained (and frightened) but I thought Cloverfield was a seriously bad ass movie! I went in a bit skeptical but left wanting more and a bit fearful to plan a trip to NYC. I thought Cloverfield was clever in a few ways:

1) No mainstream actors - means you have NO clue who’s going to get killed off first leaving you curious and concerned for each character

2) First person storyline - the movie made me feel like I was a part of it, all scenes were at ground zero, and emotionally I became attached to the tight-knit group of friends because the movie was focused solely on their experiences/humor/friendships

3) The movie was short and didn’t bore us with a scientific explanation of how, when, why - means I want MORE!!

For those of you who haven’t seen Cloverfield I would definitely recommend it. I know there are mixed reviews of the flick but I was left gripping my chair arms and sweating throughout its entirety. The theater was completely silent as the credits rolled and I had to sit and take a breather before I left…seriously! Maybe I am a bit easily entertained but why don’t you go see it yourself and prove me wrong?
