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)

Correction on Che pix

Sunday's post about Steven Soderbergh finishing Che at lower Manhattan's Post Works is "wrong," a trustworthy tech guy says. "Not sure who led you down that road. They should get their shorts yanked.

"Both films are being finished at Technicolor," he says. "Tim Stipan of Technicolor Creative Services New York did the DI, and the DCDM for Cannes is being done at Technicolor Creative Services in London. And Technicolor Madrid is doing the filmout and video mastering."

Post Works, he says, was merely "given some work by Technicolor" that involved "doing some Quick Time files." How demeaning! Technicolor, he says, has been working with Soderbergh since principal photography on the Che Guevara films. The two films, he adds, are being prepped for Cannes by Technicolor.

I was going to tell you nobody makes editorial changes at a post facility, any sooner than they rent long term editng rooms there either (probably), unless you count mastering and DI'ing as making changes.
