Cloverfield [BLU-RAY] (Paramount Home Entertainment, 6.3.2008)
Disguised under deliberately goofy, yet deliciously edible-sounding, aliases such as Cheese and Slusho, Matt Reeves'
Cloverfield was produced and rushed into theaters under an equally appetizing shroud of secrecy. From last year's incredibly elusive Super Bowl ad to the film's viral marketing campaign,
Cloverfield had everybody scratching their heads and drooling in anticipation. Aside from the as-yet untitled title and the
Blair Witch-ian visual style, the film's biggest appeal was the enigmatic creature who was last (un)seen hurling the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty onto the crowded streets of New York City. All we knew about the mysterious beast was that it was big and angry. Now that the highy-anticipated project has come and gone, one question has fortunately been answered:
Cloverfield was a major success.

If they cast some ugly French people in the Texas Eye-Rack movie "Stop Loss," and they spoke with a Southern dialect, I could believe they were GI's. But this is Hollywood, and I love Paris as much as Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum.

Well, I might watch it. But I will take great satisfaction in not enjoying it. I might even put on my hairshirt.

Burma, get with the program. Did you go see the plays at Sacred Fools tonight? If not, you missed out. HNY.

I know. I was one of the original Chinese workmen who laid the track on this stretch. But nonetheless, Maryland is a beautiful state. So is Ohio, for that matter.
