Cloverfield (2008)
Something new and real
Cloverfield delivers a stressing array of mass destruction. The film quickly jumps into action during a going away party. Filmed by an 8mm camera the city quickly becomes helpless from a giant monster as the characters travel to the center of the city to save a friend. For the most part I thought the storyline was kind of weak but that's not why you're glued to the screen. I was very impressed from the amazing footage of destruction and chaos that has engulfed the city. If you're not a fan of the shaky camera, I do not recommend this movie. But I am, films like these put you in the front row and make it as real as possible. Still to this day I enjoy watching it, especially while smoking up. I give Abrams credit for going out on a limb for this project. I recommend seeing this film, don't listen the nay sayers. They're just upset about the camera work.
Lost: Jughead (2009)
jumping through time, jumping around the plot, whatever (spoiler)
As it would seem, Lost is finally coming to its ultimate demise with its lacking yet increasingly confusing story line in which our heroes who remain on the island jump through time while the rest of us are trying to keep track of the oceanic 6 who are trying to get back to the island with the help of the protagonist Ben. I know where the writers are trying to take us in this increasing plot building show, but they have yet to give away a lot of missing information that well... with past episodes have made us want to keep watching. Now the writers I believe have dug themselves a hole in which they are trying to write their way out as fast as possible. It almost seems like they're making it up as they go along. This is a big disappointment, especially for me who has followed along since the beginning, but I guess you can't write the perfect squeal all the time. Just look at The Matrix. I hope this season starts to pick up, or I'll just stop caring.
