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)

Where's The Beef?

Politico's Jeffrey Ressner is hearing talk about guys wanting to make a docudrama based on Scott McClellan's "What Happened"...whatever. It seems too fragmentary at this stage Even joking about Jonah Hill playing McClellan feels like a stretch.

Jesus how many Bush movies are we going to get? Any reaction to the news that Liman wants Russell Crowe to play Joe Wilson?

Can't remember the actor's name, but there was someone in RECOUNT that seemed to be physically perfect to play McClellan.
