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.

I guess that's my goal for next year, to be included on this list.

Strikes me as a self-satisfied prick. What is so great about trashing people just for the sake of it. You should aim higher, Ed. Much, much higher.

Er, I guess I should say, you should aim lower.

Devin Faraci has it dead right sticking "The Fountain" and "Children of Men" as a dual #1 of the year.

He may be self-satisfied, but he also has a point.
