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've walked by it. very sleek. But why is it called that ugly name? How do you pronounce it (and i hope its not a phonetic version of Le Louvre)...?

My sentiments exactly Aris, but then it is L.A. It really detracts from the initial impression.

LA Louver is a good gallery. It used to be even better. Now the best gallery in LA is Regan Projects. Right across the street from Louver is a very good restaurant....
