Its here, the most talked about movie of 2008, Cloverfield. Eric and J.D.from Scene-Stealers.com tackle one of the most anticipated releases in a long time with a fast-paced movie review shot entirely with one hand-held camera, while trying to escape with their lives. So how does it stack up? Do you think you know what the monster looks like? Is the Cloverfield monster Godzilla or a Godzilla rip-off? You actually get to see footage of the Cloverfield monster. The Cloverfield monster revealed! In that respect, it won't disappoint. Check out this on-camera instant video movie review with clips from the movie to figure it out for yourself. But with all of the media surrounding this movie's release, is it even possible for any movie to ever live up to this kind of expectation? You might want to do yourself a favor before you go see Cloverfield and take a cue from "Public Enemy": "Don't Believe the Hype". Or at least try to not let the hype get to you. Did the Cloverfield monster find Eric and J.D.?

30 Days of Night Movie Review

this movie must have been greenlit on idea alone, because the screenwriters (all three of them) left everybody else out in the cold on this one. Director David Slade, who showed such promise with the twisted psychological thriller “Hard Candy” two years ago, shoots the movie with style to spare, but cannot muster an ounce of suspense. What’s more, “30 Days” feels every bit as long as its title.
