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)

Jolie's mom passes

Heard this happened yesterday, couldn't find the story, gave up: Marcheline Bertrand, 56 year-old former actress, producer (Trudell) and mother of Angelina Jolie, died Saturday of cancer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Sad, too soon, sorry.

Oops, so much for those (including myself) who attacked Jolie's lack of professionalism at the Golden Globes a couple of weeks ago. She clearly had more important issues on her mind.

Angelina always called her mother her hero. Obviously she will be sadly missed. RIP

I wish all those red carpets shows that bashed her for her coldness, could apologize. People truly believe that celebrities have this perfect life and should be smiling all the time, they forget that sometimes they may have a headache, or a really bad week or even a ill family member.

I agree those shows should apologize esp. the hosts who continue to ask the dumbest questions on the red carpet.

Anyway, she was very close to her mom (and looks just like her). Sad.

For Angelina, by way of Van Morrison:

"Professional jealousy, can bring down a nation
And personal invasion, can ruin a man
Not even his family, will understand what's happening
The price that he's paying, or even the pain...

They say the truth is, stranger than fiction
But a lie is more, deadly than sin
It can make a man very, bitter and angry
When he thinks that there's someone, is going to win

Professional jealousy makes other people crazy
When they think you've got something that, they don't have
What they don't understand is it's, just not easy
To cover it all, and, stand where you stand..."

Peace, sister, peace.
