Cloverfield--the nonsensical

Cloverfield has been released on DVD, and it is no longer a new release for the library, if you are curious after you read what I have to say.  The reviews had commented on humorous moments in the movie—there were two, just two.  I checked with my fellow viewers, and they counted two, the same two.

Movie Review - Eastern Promises

This movie is for Adults only - Rated R for violence, sex and language.  That said - it was an amazing movie. 

I  finally watched this movie and was blown away by Viggo Mortenson's performance. I had heard him on Fresh Aire, talking about how he prepared for the role. He was astounding - his character is a Russion ex-con working for the Russian mob in London. The difference between Viggo in the role and Viggo in the DVD extras was amazing - and it was all nuances of facial expression, bearing, posture.
