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)

A moderately enjoyable time-waster, if that's what you're looking to do.

More like moderately impossible. After 12-3, I don't think I know any more.

That test was STUPID! Sure, there are a FEW cool ones like "Spiderman" and so forth, but a bunch of them were from lame-o old-time movies. You know, the kind with like, no CGI and have old actors that are dead by now and where everyone acts all stupid and shit.

Bo-ring!

Did this last week and got 32 - and yes, I missed Heat too. Which was especially galling considering I had that poster framed in my bedroom through most of college.

Moderately enjoyable time-wasters are pretty much all that my life is about. Thanks for the link.

I got stuck at 24 and gave up. Perhaps I could have gotten a few more if I had stuck with it. I too was frustrated with my missing HEAT. I also should have gotten ALIENS.
