So, Cloverfield really is the name. I just can’t wait for Cloverfield. JJ is the new Spielberg. Already, the film thrillseekers in my family are making plans to descend upon our new theatre (Monaco Pictures) and soak up Cloverfield on January 18th. I will be there, even if I have to [...]

Yesterday, Kiddo and I got out to soak up Pirates 3. It was enjoyable, but it suffered from the same thing that plagued the second of the series. The writers allowed themselves to get bogged down by the apathetic nature of each individual player. By now, there are a lot of players [...]
