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.

Get ready for "Elsewhere Live,"

Get ready for "Elsewhere Live," a twice-weekly live-internet-radio talk show with telephone call-ins and all kinds of blah-dee-blah from yours truly. It'll start on Sunday, 11.20, and run also on Thursday evening (let's say at 10 pm EST, 7 pm Pacific). We're not talking about some Podcast bullshit (although the radio broadcasts will be archived and downloadable). We're talking about something new here...real throbbing internet radio that you can listen to "live" and call in to, just like any regular-ass radio talk show. And I won't have screeners!
