Just saw Cloverfield and hated it!

I just saw Cloverfield and it lasted like 30 min before I turned that crap off couldnt stand the dam camera. Now I know what people were talking about when they said they were getting dizzy and headaches.

It was a great film. I loved it. I just absolutely hated how they filmed it.

They could have used a standard steady-cam and still sold the audience on the feeling of a handheld camcorder.

I think I'm getting cynical in my old age (36). Every film seems to be missing something. Or quitting when it is getting good. Or not tying up loose ends.

I watched I Am Legend. It was awesome-scary. Then it ended. Just like that.

I watched The Waterhorse with my kids. It was good, but they never went in depth into most of the characters. Odd for sure.

Juno was fantastic. This is what a movie is supposed to be.

Cloverfield could have a lot of spin-offs of this one event. Other camera's they find in the future and whatnot. Unfortunately, if they keep USING actual camcorders to film it, it'll still be unwatchable.

Just get the Bourne trilogy, and be done with it until the next Batman or Raiders of the Lost Ark this summer.

The best horror film I've seen in the last few years has been:

"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"

I agree, I can't remember the last "great" movie that I saw. I think the best movie I have seen in the last year or so was "The Mist", it was a movie based on a Stephen King short story and was awesome.

Its starting to seem to me, that at age 29 and a HUGE movie lover, that every movie is the same. All action movies go about as expected, all dramas the same deal....its getting....boring...

No Country for Old Men was the best film I have seen in years.

For horror The Descent is excellent

For action you cannot, and will not beat Bourne. The best trilogy ever imo.

The Descent was spectacular! I dont usually like 'horror' films, but this one impressed me. girlfriend watched the inside of her eyelids for most of the movie...lol

I usually stick with comedy's. Most of them have zero plot but as long as i am laughing i could care less what the plot of the movie is.


Have never seen cloverfield and from waht i have heard i dont really want to.

No Country for Old Men was quite suspenseful, but seemed rather pointless in the end to me.

The best movie I've seen recently is "Vanilla Sky". Haven't seen a movie that dense in a long time. Mind-blowing, almost. To summarize it without giving anything away (and there's a LOT to give away), the movie is about choices and their consequences.

"The Descent" bored me to tears. Alien is the definitive "boogyman in claustrophobic spaces" movie, and The Descent didn't even come close. The characters were poorly conceived and even more abysmally cast. The movie was nothing but dark scenes meant (I'm sure) to convey a sense of foreboding, but to me conveyed a sense of "this cinematographer SUCKS." And will someone please tell me how that large population of blind, ghoulish creatures managed to populate a cave? With no food supply? I can suspend disbelief - "Alien" had plenty of logical holes in it - but "Descent was just mindless.

Crtic Stephen Whitty said it best: "Every theatre should come with a sign: Your expectations must be this low to ride."

Sorry guys, Joe Bob gives "The Descent" 2 out of 5 stars.

I was very dissapointed by the ending of No Country for old men. Like others have said, movies just haven't been cutting it lately.

The Bourne series is a must have.

Amen to that. You want a movie about choices, stick with an Oscar winner like Sophie's Choice, or even Crash.

The ending was the Cohen brothers way of saying that evil never dies. Tommy lee jones story at the end about his father and the light show a man who was always chasing the dream of a better place, a better world, but then he woke up, signifying that that dream died and is not a reality. In fact all his stories of the old timers have this same theme. All the while Anton keeps surviving and killing.
I study film a lot and a obsessive compulsive movie buff and always look for meaning that isnt obvious but there none the less. A lot of the movie forums I frequent have lengthy discussions about certain films, some as many as 200 pages long. I even built a theater in my basement. I have a 120 inch screen, and own over 500 DVDs, 100 blu-rays and about 50 HD-DVD's. To say I am nuts is putting it mildly.

You do realize the descent was a play on words. There never was a cave, or any caving expedition. The movie was about her descent into madness and the cave plot was simply used metaphorically. Again a forum I belong to was lucky enough to have a chat with people involved in the making of this film. Watch it again and pay close attention to the clues, its all there, you just have to look for it.

I have low expectations from movies, all n all.

However, Crash was an awesome movie. I'd say I'm a little disappointed in the Bourne trilogy, just not quite as good as I thought it could have been.
