and other goodness that is J.J. Abrams
I know it has been a few weeks since it came out, but I really enjoyed Cloverfield. The camera was shaky, but that was the point! My husband did end up getting a headache, though. Anyway, what a fun movie. The party scene at the beginning was fairly engaging, enough so that I almost forgot what was about to happen. It was great how we got to see a lot of stuff, but there were still moments when I was screaming in my head, "turn the camera!" I hope they do a sequel or a spin-off show. There's so much viral marketing for the movie that they have many elements of a narrative already in place.
J.J. Abrams has a knack for giving you just enough to capture your interest and answering your questions with even more questions. A lot of people have given up on Lost, but now that I know there will only be 3 more seasons (starting this week), I'm confident that they have an endgame in mind. I'm just going to enjoy the ride to the finish.
I'm also looking forward to his take on Star Trek. I'm enough of a Star Trek fan to consider myself a Trekkie, but not too crazy. I've recently gotten into watching the remastered episodes of the original series, and they are just so fun. I love the push and pull and give and take between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. The corniness is fantastic and seeing Bill Shatner so young and in his prime is wonderful, especially since I'm a fan of Boston Legal. Even Boston Legal gives a shout out to Trek fans on occasion by casting actors who have been in Trek in the past. I have faith that J.J. is going to re-energize the series with his movie. And some of the casting has been very interesting.
OK, enough of my rambling, until next time! Peace!
