This weekend on the big screen
There are actually 2 movies for you to see this weekend, though most likely you’ll only be able to find one of them
Cloverfield is the obvious choice, and JC gave it a strong 4 star rating. He did have a few warnings for potiential viewers though, so be sure to read his review.
The less obvious choice is Teeth, and you might not have ever heard of it. Teeth is about a sexually budding teenage girl who discovers she has teeth in her vagina. Think on that for one moment. This has dark-horror-comedy written all over it and I really wish it were playing anywhere in the Atlanta area so I could go check it out. Expect a DVD release this spring.
Cloverfield gets 4 stars
Yep, as expected Cloverfield received a 4 star review from JC. His review is online, so go check it out.
Normally I’m the one from the mothership who waits for a movie to hit DVD before seeing it, but I might just have to hit this one in theaters. Why? It’s that plot device.. what is it that made half they audience get pissed off? Sure, someone could tell me.. but what fun would that be. Nope, I think I’ll have to head to the gigaplex to see this one.
Cloverfield is getting a good review
JC attended a screening of Cloverfield last night and I was able to pry a little bit of information from him. First and foremost, he liked it… he liked it a lot. Odds are it’s getting a 4 star rating.
Why not a full 5? I’m not sure, but it has to do with a plot device that was a bit too convenient and/or contrived.
I can also confirm that the monster gets lots of screen time, but not what the monster looks like. JC is keeping mum on that subject.
Cloverfield pictures
Cloverfield has gotten a level of hype that few movies get, a constant barrage of “it looks so cool!” coming from bloggers and forums everywhere. Frankly, I’ll be glad when Saturday morning gets here so the roar will calm down and everyone will know what the monster looks like and if the hype was worth it.
Actually, I’ll know before that since JC will be attending a screening tomorrow evening, and I’m sure I’ll get at least a bit of info out of him before his full review is posted later this week.
Until then, here’s a bunch of photos from the movie (after the break, for those reading the news feed.)
