I won't deny that it has its problems, but for whatever reason I have always enjoyed it. Perhaps it's due to my almost fetishistic love of found footage horror.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643574297099103547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486278711315411608.post-58563671722375073902014-01-30T21:21:03.565-08:002014-01-30T21:21:03.565-08:00Re-reviewing this I have one more thing to add . ....Re-reviewing this I have one more thing to add . . . I really hated <i>Cloverfield</i>. Really, really hated it. If it's not the worst movie ever made, it's got to be close. FAIR WARNING: If you read the next paragraph, there might be one to five things that will completely ruin it for you, and I don't want to ruin something you enjoy.<br /><br />Firstly, I hated the characters and wanted them to die. Secondly, I didn't understand the motivation for going to find the girlfriend or whatever. Thirdly, why the hell was that guy still carrying around his camera and recording it, and why was he tagging along in the first place? Fourthly, I simply did not find the scene where they were effectively fighting the small monsters to be believable in the slightest. Fifthly, what was the deal with the exploding girl, and why did they think it was a good idea to throw that into the movie in one isolated instance without ever using it again? The only positive thing is how it ended . . . but it could have happened a lot sooner. Did I mention that I hated that movie? <br /><br />Otherwise, I've seen several of the honorable mentions and I like the rest of them.Full Metal Attorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818204892818121018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486278711315411608.post-10192093644771519742013-12-12T00:56:36.574-08:002013-12-12T00:56:36.574-08:00I probably have seen more movies than most people....I probably have seen more movies than most people. I've spent a lot of time around some really next-level film fanatics so just through incidental exposure I pick up a lot of stuff that's a little off the beaten path. Still, I don't think I have too many movies on the list that are terribly obscure. <br /><br />And I seem to recall you mentioning The Thing as a favorite once or twice. Not a bad choice at all.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643574297099103547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486278711315411608.post-66680263751611345002013-12-11T22:10:03.258-08:002013-12-11T22:10:03.258-08:00Oh, and Shawshank.
