Got out and saw Cloverfield yesterday. It was a very entertaining movie, with a good story, characters, and one heck of a monster. But my enjoyment of the film was hindered by the overly abundant use of shaky cam. See, the whole movie is shot from one person's handheld camera...similar to the amatuer style of Blair Witch. So while the chaos unfolds on screen, I (as well as other moviegoers) were holding back their lunch. I had originally planned to get something to eat prior to going, and I sincerely believe had I don so I would've lost it right there in the theater. So take that warning seriously...it's not easy on the stomach.

The movie itself, story and whatnot, is a blast. From the moment the attack starts to the end of the movie, you're left on the edge of your seat wondering just what's going on and what caused it all. There are answers hidden amongst the movie, and yes you do see the monster several times in more than just flashes.

I highly recommend it, but make sure to bring some Dramamine.
