Went and saw Cloverfield last night. You might want to take some Dramamine or something before you go, but I highly encourage anyone who likes good movies - whether they like monster movies or not - to hightail it to the local cinema and watch Cloverfield. My favorite three movies of last year - Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, and No Country for Old Men - all were incredible movies with flawed endings. Cloverfield accomplishes what these movies could not - deliver an ending worthy of the rest of the movie. (Although I'm coming back around with the ending of There Will Be Blood, it just takes awhile to accept it).
The ending of Cloverfield is perfect in every way. The special effects are definitely believable (the monster is amazing!), the scary parts are scary. You feel like you're there with the four protagonists as they make their way through Manhattan. I heard that the shaky videocamera was distracting, but it felt like I was running through Manhattan holding a video camera trying to get the heck out of Dodge.
The craziest part took place in this scene, let's just say that it kind of one-ups the movie Alien:
Go see this movie. Believe me, you will not be disappointed. I love J.J. Abrams - everything he does is amazing. (Alias, Mission Impossible 3, Lost, and now Cloverfield)

everything? even "Felicity"?
Well, Felicity was hot. I used to have dreams about her.
