Hollywood's latest disaster movie is a film with a twist. Abandoning crystal clear graphics for a camcorder-style yarn, it tells the story of a group of New York yuppies gathering to say goodbye to a friend who is going travelling. When the city comes under attack, and buildings start blowing up and falling down, its not clear right away the cause. Rob, Jason, Marlena and camera-man Hud trawl through the mass destruction in search of Rob's secret love Beth, adding a tiny bit of dimension to a tale that is almost envisioned entirely from one character's point of view. As they come face to face with the perpetrator, all hell breaks loose, and they have to ...  Read the complete review

Oh, there's always one isn't there? One person that isn't going to like what is the movie of the year, if not the decade. What is Cloverfield as a movie? - A movie you leave the screening talking about - A movie you check the internet for opinions on the minute you're home - A movie that, even when you're tucked up in bed shutting your eyes, you still question But what is Cloverfield, the movie, not? - Any good Didn't see that one coming.

I'm just hoping I spelt the ...  Read the complete review

Wow!!! There was so much hype behind this film and no one actually had any idea of what was going on or what it would be like! But I loved it. It is supposed to be filmed on a hand held video camera and although rather hard to get used to at first (would advise not sitting too close to the screen to avoid motion sickness!) - it soon feels like you are sitting at home watching any family holiday video. But this one is frightening! It seems so realistic and the worst bit is when by 'complete accident' the camera points towards an explosion and catches a glimse of the 'monster' that is destroying the city. That looks real and feels real and it is done ...  Read the complete review

When Cloverfield was released it received a lot of bad press, it is for this reason alone that I stayed clear from this movie. The main criticism I had gathered was that you never really know what the danger is and don't get a good look at it, I can tell you now that this is rubbish, you get a good few long looks at what it is. The second was that it was trying to be a bit Blair Witch, it is filmed by a hand held camera, however, you can tell the budget for this movie was huge, and the fact they have chosen to film it that way is more a reflection on what type of film it is more than what it is trying to copy. Plot The film is based around five ...  Read the complete review
