finally watched 'Cloverfield'

I went to watch the largely hyped new movie, 'Cloverfield' this weekend and I'm mixed about how I felt about it, one thing I can say is it's quite original not in the sense of the plot but in the way that the movie was directed and shot. This concept of bringing the homemade video phenomenon that's exploded onto the internet and turning that idea into a mainstream movie was well done. I have to give Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard credit in changing the way movies are shot. But the whole movie had the elements of The Blair Witch Project, Godzilla, and the plethora of films that followed 9/11. I guess in one way showing this films in theaters shows that the events of 9/11, were what they were, tragic events of the past and just like the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan following WW2 and the subsequent release of Godzilla several years later, Cloverfield ironically seems quite reflective. Anyway overall I say it's a good film and a nice modern day vision of Godzilla instead of another "Gozdilla vs. ".
