Yeah, looked at Cloverfield.
It is...well it reminded me of the Blair Witch project, which I didn't

Focusing on a small group of individuals was a nice touch.
The camera style just didn't work for me. It may have been meant to be
'realistic'...
but in reality it took away
You know..in a way I think it was a good idea.
And there certainly were tense moments. Just glimpsing the monster
etc. was a good trick that worked to build tension and suspense in the
movie.
The fact that you followed a small group who didn't really know what
was happening, rather than a hero
every
now and then just so you don't vomit.

Good point. That alone would bring the movie back to me original rating of

Eight, huh?
Well, I can see that.
But still, blowing eight goats...
Reminds me of the time I interviewed Martin Brest, writer and director of

The shaky camera, only able to glimpse the action, nauseous feeling, etc.
were all the things that I feared the most when I started reading about the

Oh yeah, one more thing...
At the very end, when the video tape goes back to the earlier segment and
you see the water in the background of the Ferris wheel, you naturally are
looking intensely for something -- ANYTHING -- that makes it relevant to the
