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)

Here are two bona fide

Here are two bona fide Terrence Malick quotes -- reported only today and uttered only last Monday -- about his direction of The New World and thoughts about his future filmmaking plans. Quote #1: ’ÄúI knew [The New World] would have a slow, rolling pace. Just get into it; let it roll over you. It's more of an experience film. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.’Äù Quote #2: "There's a good many pictures I'd like to make...we'll see how many I'll be allowed to make." The quotes are significant because Malick never talks to the press. They come from reporter Susan Albert in a story in the Bartlesville, Oklahoma Examiner Enterprise, and were taken from an appearance that Malick made following a screening last Monday of The New World at the Theater Bartlesville. Malick was allegedly raised in or near Bartlesville, which is the headquarters of ConocoPhillips. Malick's dad reportedly used to work for ConocoPhillips, hence the location.
