My coworker saw it and she actually puked after she left the theater. Ick.

Oh yeah, I just saw the preview for 27 Dresses today and I so want to see it! I mainly just want to know how she met 27 people who all wanted her to be a bridesmaid. I mean 27? That’s a lot of really good friends to have.

I’ve got no interest, honestly.
Just looks like they combined bad natural disaster movies with bad monster movies, with a touch of War of the Worlds. Boo to that.

I saw it this weekend with my fiance and although I actually rather liked the movie, I had to get up in the middle of the movie due to motion sickness.

Oh and the running in heels? Even more unbelievable than some reptilian creature attacking NYC. I mean, I can barely stand for half-an-hour in my heels, let alone tear up and down stairs.

Love the blog, by the by! :)

Thank you. My hubby and I saw Cloverfield last night and as we were walking out, I said “That was seriously, one of the top five worst movies I have ever paid to see.” He disagreed of course. But seriously? That was horrible! I too was motion sick and that made it hard to eat dinner. Ugh. Horrible.

Tiff - I think that all the promotion and little stuff they are doing for Cloverfield is really cool! I’ve been sort of keeping up. Today I guess they left video from another camera on the site or something!

I think it was more about almost puking than anything though. The idea of the movie was cool.

Michelle - This is definitely not the movie for you then!

Oh, but by contrast, there was nothing to hate about 27 Dresses. It was totally cute.

Okay, Jamie don’t hate me - I kinda liked Cloverfield.

It’s probably just my JJ Abrams bias, but I guess all over the Internet there are clues you are supposed to see about what was really happening, so my dorky_Internet friend told me, so we could figure out (like the Coney Island scenes, you could see the monster falling in the water…other wierd stuff). I liked how it was from one persons perspective and basically no one knew what was going on or what they were running from.

However, having said all that. THE CAMERA STUFF SUCKED. Basically if it was “real life” the people would’ve just dropped the camera and ran for their life.

But the shaky camera was so bad we had to get up and move to the back row. And not look at the screen a lot.
