Cloverfield [BLU-RAY] (Paramount Home Entertainment, 6.3.2008) Disguised under deliberately goofy, yet deliciously edible-sounding, aliases such as Cheese and Slusho, Matt Reeves' Cloverfield was produced and rushed into theaters under an equally appetizing shroud of secrecy. From last year's incredibly elusive Super Bowl ad to the film's viral marketing campaign, Cloverfield had everybody scratching their heads and drooling in anticipation. Aside from the as-yet untitled title and the Blair Witch-ian visual style, the film's biggest appeal was the enigmatic creature who was last (un)seen hurling the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty onto the crowded streets of New York City. All we knew about the mysterious beast was that it was big and angry. Now that the highy-anticipated project has come and gone, one question has fortunately been answered: Cloverfield was a major success. (continued)

I was in West L.A.'s

I was in West L.A.'s Laser Blazer last night (Friday, 11.19) and I heard one of the clerks mention Natalie Portman. What about her? I asked. "My friend's in love with her," the guy answered. "Tell him to see Closer then," I said. "So they didn't cut her nude scene?" he asked. "No, they did cut it but it doesn't matter," I replied, "because what they left in is fine, trust me. She's got a beautiful ass." The guy and three behind-the-counter colleagues who were listening crowed in unison, "Whoaaa-hoohhh!" The guy said to me, "I think you just sold four tickets!"
