Cloverfield

This isn't bad - in fact it's considerably better than most of the reviewers seem to give it credit for. Cloverfield is pretty much what it says on the tin - 85 minutes of hand-held camera-work 'documenting' a monster attack on NYC from the viewpoint of some twenty-somethings. It's remarkably good at this. Even the monster, at 500ft always going to be the weak link, is convincing. The main characters are neither irritatingly stupid nor preternaturally insightful, and the military's response is plausibly revealed as it intertwines with their own. The view of the B-2 is quite beautiful.

Apparently it's given some people motion sickness - twenty years of FPS's and an already dodgy sense of balance (closely linked to my sporting ineptitude) seem to have rendered me immune.
