Cloverfield
Ben and I saw Cloverfield last night. It's probably going to be the last movie we see in the theatre before Noodle gets here, unless I can get Ben to take me to see Juno this weekend.
I must say, I wanted to see Cloverfield but I wasn't super crazy excited about it. Now that I've seen it, I've changed my mind. Ben told me in the car on the way there that the director was wanting to make an American Godzilla movie, which I had no idea, so that got me really excited about it!
I think it also probably helped that due to us getting into the theatre late, we ended up sitting in the second row. If you know anything about this movie, you know it's supposed to look as if it's filmed on a video camera from the point of view of one of the characters. The fact that we were less than 20 feet from the screen made it really seem like we were "there". I thought it was going to make me queasy, but it ended up just making my head hurt.
Now if THAT isn't enough to make you go see it, one of the main character's name was Marlena! I thought I had misheard when she was introduced, but NOPE, one more Marlena in the mainstream. It was kind of weird hearing my name over and over, and of course some bad things happen to the characters during the mayhem, and hearing my name called out in terror was kind of spooky. They were even pronouncing it correctly, so I'm hoping if more people see this movie they won't say Mar-LEE-na anymore. They'll get it right and say Mar-LAY-na.
You know, like it's Ne-VAD-a, not Ne-VAH-da. I was born there, so yes, everyone that got in a tizzy about it are RIGHT.
Go see Cloverfield. It's only 84 minutes and if an 8 and a half month preggo lady can sit through it, anyone can. It's a fun ride and of course, there's MONSTERS!!!

Marlena Diamond and all the other characters have their own MySpaces: http://www.myspace.com/marlenadiamond
Which I guess is cool, but they are all commenting on each other's as if they are real people. WTF.
