OK, I'm sticking to my anti-spoiler guns on this, but having a hard time NOT READING Harry Knowles' review of CLOVERFIELD (via Cinematical).  The review is probably immensely spoilery, so read at your own risk.  But he definitely loved it, as have two others "in the biz" that I've spoken to this past week.

ETA: one other cyberspace reviewer was allowed to see and post, Jeffrey Wells.  Again I only read up to the end of this paragraph and stopped. BUT WHAT A PARAGRAPH:
If Allen Ginsberg didn't already own the title I would suggest that they call it Howl. This is not your father's Ray Harryhausen rampaging- monster flick. Those movies, comparatively, were parlor dramas for the tame of heart. This movie is REM madness. It is Guillermo del Toro on a tab of brown acid with a little crack thrown in.

Can. Not. Wait. To. See.  *glee*

Meanwhile, also via AICN comes news of the possibility of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale co-starring in Michael Mann's new film?  *flail*  That's the best casting rumor I've heard since Cinematical mentioned Viggo Mortensen and Philip Seymour Hoffman might be co-starring in something.  Super yays.

If it's any consolation, the Ain't It Cool review says absolutely nothing, and says it poorly.

I want to see that movie, but Handicam makes me seasick, so I might be out of luck. :\ May just have to Netflix it so I can pause it if I start to get queasy.
