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)

Odd Shots


Strikingly attired anonymous blonde at this afternoon's party thrown by Toronto Film Board -- Friday, 5.16.08, 6:55 pm -- inside Palm Beach pavillion south of the Grand Palais.

Toronto Star critic Peter Howell, Toronto Film Festival director Piers Handling at CFB party -- 5.16.08, 6:05 pm.

Relatively uncrowded Orange Cafe wifi press room -- 5.16.08, 10:05 pm -- where I presently sit, trying to punch out fast reactions (the place closes in less than 50 minutes) to Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Momentarily bored by the TFB party, I stepped outside and....what a shot! So unique!

Can't tell whether she's pushing a remake of the Wizard of Oz or Supergirl. Wizard of Supergirl? "There's no place like Krypton."
