First Reviews of Cloverfield!

There are lucky bastards, and then there are Harry Knowles and Jeff Wells, Both are movie bloggers with devoted readerships (Knowles for the fans, Wells for the industry know-it-alls), and both are influential enough to get a sneak peek at Cloverfield and become the first guys anywhere to write about it. If you thought the excitement for this movie was already at a frenzy, just wait: both these guys went nuts for it.

"Cloverfield is worth the obsession," writes the always-hyperbolic Knowles. "This is a towering movie. A complete reinvention of the disaster movie, the giant monster movie and even the love story."

Wells, known to hate anything and everything, is more reserved but heavy on the metaphors. "Cloverfield is a monster film unlike any other -- a complete original, but no less of a rock' em-sock 'em for that. It's amazing in that it's so short (by my watch about 74 minutes without credits), and yet so fierce. [...] This movie is REM madness. It is Guillermo del Toro on a tab of brown acid with a little crack thrown in."

I know what you're thinking-- what about the monster?? Weirdly, neither guy is willing to take the bait. The best Knowles gives us is a description of what it is not: "It?s not a ****ing upright walking whale. It doesn?t look like any iteration of Godzilla that we?ve ever seen. It is enormous. And even though I?ve seen it? I am hard-pressed to come up with a comparative creation."" Wells, again, leans back on questionable metaphors for his des"He's a nightmare that "means" nothing but says everything. He's a vision out of a Grimm Brothers fable, but one written by a deranged Matt Damon or Heath Ledger while locked in a 19th Century mental ward. He's a fiend that a heroin addict might see in his sleep during his first night in rehab."" I have no idea what that means, but it sure sounds terrifying.

Check out each of their reviews for yourself, and feel the anticipation within you grow. Is someone inevitably going to come along and burst our bubble and say Cloverfield is like The Blair Witch Project but less scary? Probably. But right now we're in that great phase where the excitement seems unstoppable, and even the first professional guys to see it can't get enough. Now we know this whole thing wasn't a colossal tease, that we haven't been unwrapping box after box to reveal something utterly disappointing. Cloverfield is going to be the real deal, whatever that turns out to mean.

I had posted the AICN review but it seems so many are coming now wouldn't be surprised if theres a cell phone shot of the monster soon, tho I was told by someone who has seen it the phones and cameras were taken away at screenings and you were frisked.

I've heard of them doing this before for such hyped films. I think I read they did this for 300 last year.

Only 4 more days.

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
