We went to see Cloverfield. Fandango warned me that the camera work might make one a little woozy. I took motion sickness medicine before we went. It helped, but not entirely.Here's my review: A very manly kind of movie. No corsets or Jayne Eyre-esque bonnets to be found anywhere. It was like Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla meets Alien meets 9/11 home movie footage. Good-- but only because it was very unique. There was no musical accompaniment. There was no singing. On the upside there were no children or animals shown being harmed--just young, fit, pretty people. But, you will not leave feeling fulfilled or happy.....just a little sick to your stomach. And yet I still find it worthy of blogging about. Go figure.

You are brave. It looks a little too scary for me.
I saw 'I am Legend' recently and was quite scared during that!
Jenny,
my husband saw I am Legend too and told me all about it. I don't think this was nearly as bad. There was a lot of suspense, but nothing that made you jump out of your seat or scream out loud or anything. I think that's why it was unique. You really felt like you were living the movie with the main characters.
We are hoping to see it when it's out on DVD (we have a huge mortgage!!) and this review is probably how I'll feel about it too. We love LOST and Alias so JJ Abrams is tops in our book.
Sounds interesting! Your granola bars look good too (on the post below!) I just found a granola bar recipe I ripped out of a Rachel Ray magazine a year or two ago that I am dying to try!
Good to know that I need my Dramamine to watch this show. You know me and my weak stomach. We were going to see it last weekend, but couldn't find a babysitter. Yur speling luks grate btw.
I would love to see that movie! I actually am a fan of all Hollywood. I am a star-gazer for sure and am lamenting over Heath still. I used to get to the movies a lot more than I do now...wonder why.
My girlfriends and I saw 27 Dresses on Thursday eve. Darling. I think you would love it! ;)
