in NY on vermont hill, it was heading torward the gray house on the corner. The rapist monster had like a green big baggy jacket thing on, his hair was long and black and he was wearing a tan baseball cap. His pants were bagyy and black. He was banging on the windows and chucking rocks at them. He said that he just wanted to see my sister who was 10. He called out I have a present for her.
She went out and i tried to stop her but she refused. His face was covered so i never got to see him. My sister is still missing and he is still out there lokking for his prey which is small girls. i know this because he yelled it out to me and also asked me where other houses with girls are because he has to give them more presents, but just to warn you they are not presents. P.S. this is a true story. The date this story happenend on was 3-30 at 8:00 p.m. and it is still going on evertime this date comes up because i look it up every time this date comes up and i always see it on the news at this date. so be aware

[...] since I saw the trailer last fall, I’ve been ready and waiting for this one. Just like Newscoma, I love me a good monster movie, and that’s exactly what this was – a really rockin’ [...]

Just found this site. Changing the subject again, sorry, I just watched ”
Valley fof the Gwangi ” for the first time in 30 yrs. Its split up on You tube and I wonder if you Monster people have watched it recently, or if you could and then give some feed back on this site about the really blunt trauma metaphors in the film which I can’t understand (Regrettably). When I first saw this Harryhausen wonderwall I was 6yrs old in the 70’s I almost ruptured from pleasure, but upon rewatching it there is significant symbolism here that I can’t decrypt… yet. I had the same trouble with 2001 space odyssey but reviewing enough related literature and thinking about it I now have a better idea.

I’m glad I didn’t see that.
You see, this is the one time I didn’t spoil myself. I’m a terrible spoiler person. Next movie for me to see:
The Orphanage, and if I’d had more time in Memphis yesterday I would have seen that one as well. I love me the scary.

I just want to say that, though I appreciate Newscoma spoilering the giant flea stuff, it was ruined for me yesterday morning on YAHOO when the Cloverfield ad featured a giant flea running across my desktop. Thanks Yahoo.

Josh, I actually was with a pretty good, rather packed crowd in Memphis at the opening matinee. They really seemed to be into it.
Holly, I think that there are going to be some folks that just don’t like it. I’m glad you did though. I thought it was a smashingly good time. And Beaches just pisses me off. It’s one of those movies that instead of making me cry, induces a violent reaction within me. I have no idea why.
John Norris Brown: I wear trifocals (and am far-sighted in one eye, near-sighted in the other. I’m serious.) The jumpy camera work was a bit disconcerting in a couple of scenes for me, I admit. I think the acting was supposed to be like what you would see on reality television. I enjoyed the characters. Ironically, I thought the death of one of them caught me off guard because I thought the blonde dude was supposed to be the star.
JP: Aliens was just plum groovy. The claustophobia of those movies still wigs me out. And the drooling aliens. AAAArrrrggghhh.
Manic: I’m glad he enjoyed it. I loved it.
CeeElCee: You’re on.
Missybw: douse that family down with the dramamine and enjoy the show. It’s honestly not very long.

RUABelle’s not big on monster movies and she gets carsick, so I imagine the handheld camerwork will only be acceptable in dvd format.

That being said, if you wanted to see it a second time, I’d be willing to play hooky for a matinee the next time you come to Gnashville.

You can reach me by eeeemaaaaiill. (Yeah that’s some sappy-ass song from a commercial. Whaddya want? It’s late on a Friday night.)

I didn’t particularly care for it. The acting was subpar and I never really felt any kind of attachment to the characters. However, I also get migraines and am prone to motion sickness, and the camera work certainly was effective at bringing out these traits, so that might skewer my opinion.
