Musings of an Idiot

Cloverfield

WOW. Finally a movie which doesn't spoon feed the audience. I enjoyed the movie and it is a great watch. A good chunk of the audience thought that the ending was weird and crap and that it was a crap movie but I think that was the perfect ending. I hope they don't make a sequel for it either. The movie is by no means a landmark but it definitely reinvigorates monster movie genre. This is what Godzilla should have been like. Even though the technique used is not new - it does put it to good use and the movie feels epic even though it is not. And the monster - oh my!!!!!

I am now a member of Screen Directors Guild of New Zealand and I received my membership card today. Wohooooooo....... I don't know if having the membership will do anything or not but good to finally get around to doing what I had been planning for the past 2 years. :-)

I picked up the NTSC DVD masters from Lucas at Digitalus and I am now just waiting on the artwork before I mail it off to the US of A for further processing and then it will be available for DVD sale as well as for download. Yay!!!!

Till later,
Amit
