We went to see Cloverfield last night in the Omniplex. What a great movie! It is not your typical Hollywood blockbuster ‘monster-attack-hero-shootem-usa-win’ movie.
The one thing I didn’t like about the movie was the couple seated behind us. They talked for the entire movie! Shelly was not impressed and has vowed never to go to the Omniplex again. I think her rage was heightened with the fact she is ‘off’ popcorn for Lent 
I still rate No Country for Old Men as the best movie this year and as the Oscars showed a lot of other people thought so too.
*so much better I was feeling motion sickness half way through!!
Skitz, nice to see you’ve expanded the blog to movie reviews. I was going to give Cloverfield a miss, but with your recommendation I’ll give it a go. “No Country” was excellent, Javier Bardem’s performance has got to be up there with Hopkins as Lecter. Looking forward to your review of “There will be blood”. You just need some gimmicky rating system, like Cloverfield goes to 11 on the amp…
I have just watched Cloverfield in DVD. Great film. I like this realistic way of doing films.
But the interesting thing I got from the extras is that they use Gnu/Linux in all computers where they do the CG. I guess it is Redhat because of a red hat icon in one corner of the screen and the overall look of the theme. In this same screen, there was surely the Firefox and Thunderbird icons on the panel. Most of them looked like Gnome and maybe one was KDE.
I have heard before that Hollywood loves Gnu/Linux since Titanic or so, but it is good to really see that.
@aldo – wow never knew that.. cool!
