And if you love Cloverfield so much, the writer's first Buffy-issue is in the comic book shops now! Run out and buy! Amras, anyway, I suppose Terje might have to scuffle and drag his feet zombie-style. Homonyms, yes.

I seldom write all-out misspellings any longer, but these homonyms (?) tend to crop up when I'm tearing through an entry without letting them mature a while before I post them. The high grade is a result of me watching "Jumper" just before I skipped onwards to "Cloverfield" (pure genius and trite crap makes for a stark comparison...) and the ingenuity and originality of its concept .Though, sadly, I highly doubt that this film will perform well on the small screen, so a rewatch might set it back a mince. (Btw, an "8/8.5" is a higher grade than 9/10 :P ) I’ll keep that in mind (doubly so since I do believe that Loki said much of the same in a comment not long ago).

Intense, just about the right length (it seemed a lot longer than its mere 82 minutes or whatever), fairly well acted, great effects, tragic realism, and a monster that... well, to be honest, I'm bereft of words. I mean, you said it might be the best Godzilla emulation ever, right? An underestimation: It's a fucking Aliens-dandruffing Cthulu, for Chris's sake! :D Still, I don't think I'd go so far as to a 9, though. An 8/8.5 was enough for me.

I certainly hope I'll like "I Am Legend" as much as you did. You and me both, then :)

I'm quite critical of movies and rarely do more than 3 movies a year get 8 out of 10 for me, but after the excellent I am Legend here is another disaster film that is truly astounding. Riverting from start to finish, I rated it 9 out of 10. Saw this film a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it.

TV-wise, anyway, and I'd assume that transfers reasonably well to the big screen. And in a few weeks, we'll start knowing how it translates to comic book pages, too, when his run on Buffy Season 8 starts up. ^^ I *am* of the faint of heart - which is too bad, as Drew Goddard wrote this movie, and, well, he really knows his stuff.
