A change in modern cinama

After watching as many movies as I have you see flaws in several movies or story lines done 101 times over. Well I found this movie to be refreshing. We open with a recording from a handy cam that makes me dread watching this being reminded of what a P.O.S. "Blairwitch" was. But I gotta say having this whole movie taped from the point of view of the people involved adds to the thrill. Add a surround sound system and this movie puts the viewer right in the middle of Manhattan being destroyed. There is no Hollywood music to distract you from the idea behind this new age American monster movie.

THIS AINT NO PARADE

When an unkown creature suddenly attacks Manhatten,a few average people grab a camcorder and set out to rescue their friend and document history.Cloverfield was filmed using a handheld camera,so those who don't have an iron stomach beware,however,this style was restricted only to camera movement not picture quality.With the film revolving mainly around its human characters and not the monster,the cast of mostly unknown actors have done an excellent job of carrying this movie by bringing their own unique personalities to the story.While watching the movie there are several instances that evoke a 9/11 feel as buildings fall in the distance and bridges are torn apart.Also,Cloverfield does a good job of portraying how the military would handle an attack like this,and how ordinary citizens would react to something like a big ol' monster barreling down 34th street like a Macy's parade float on steriods.All in all,Cloverfield is a thrilling and spooky adventure not to be missed and it has brought America back into the monster movie spotlight.There is love and loss,believable acting,a unique and powerful monster,and one huge mystery.What is it? Where did it come from? Can we stop it? Let us hope we find out soon.
