Cloverfield, a review by addicted2dvd

Cloverfield
From visionary producer J.J. Abrams '(Lost)' and director Matt Reeves comes the worldwide sensation of nonstop terror and suspense everyone is talking about.

My Thoughts:
Hmmmmm.... what did I think of this movie? Well... even though I did let the hype get to me a little... I did still enjoy the movie. I know a lot of people didn't like the way this was filmed through a character's video camera (think Blair Witch Project)... and even though I think I would of preferred a more standard filming on it.. it isn't something that really bothered me too much. Over-all I did enjoy it... and glad I have it in my collection... especially since it didn't cost me anything. I do think I may have been a little aggravated if I spent a good $20 on this thing.

Watched: 27th. Jan 2011
My Thoughts: I watched the extended version and thought that it was the usual park-your-brain mindless fun. There were aspects to link back to the original TV series but in general this film took the team into a slightly different direction.

My Rating: A mindlessly enjoyable 3

Supernatural Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 2: WENDIGO
Deep in the Colorado woods, deep in horror. Sam and Dean's search for their father, and for the evil power that killed Jessica, leads to the blood-soaked path of a Wendigo, a cannibal spirit of Native American lore.

Guest Stars:
Callum Keith Rennie as Roy
Gina Holden as Haley Collins
Donnelly Rhodes as Mr. Shaw
Timothy Webber as Ranger Wilkinson

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed. By this time (actually the end of the first episode) Sam has a reason to continue hunting. I like the whole having to find their father starts the trek all over the country. I found the story of the Windigo to be an interesting one. It is something that while I have heard of before... it is not a legend that I am very familiar with. So that is a plus as I wasn't sure of the direction the episode would take too far in advance. Dean really did seem out of place trekking through the woods. For someone that used to hike the woods all the time like me... I got a few chuckles out of that one.

My Rating:
