Cloverturd

When I set out to watch a movie the thought of stopping it, because it will be so bad, never crosses my mind. Well, it used not to cross my mind (the movie 'Hoodwinked' being the exception), then I began to watch "Cloverfield." I think I made it about 30 minutes in before I had to shut it off.  It was one of the most stupid, poorly filmed, poorly lighted, poorly directed and poorly edited movies I've ever deliberately watched. The special effects, however, were beyond compare, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I could actually feel my brain starting to get smaller.  I had wanted so much more from J.J. Abrams. An interesting concept, but I was starting to hope the monster would find these pathetic 'twenty-somethings' and have a light snack.
