Slog - Comments on This Weekend at the Movies http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/this_weekend_at_the_movies_41 Copyright 2008 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:38:00 -0800 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 01:07:10 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by Big Sven Saw Cloverfield at the Cinerama early, early, early this morning. Moments of body-spasming surpise over a thick base of relentless, inexorable dread. Also, the sound is the best since Star Wars. Well worth seeing in a theater with a good sound system.

Plus, my son is totally into watching an animated movie that is different (based on a graphic novel).

I haven't seen it but most reviews of it have heaped lots of praise on it. Are those 9 listed films super great?

That Hillary -- playing the race card again. Yuck! First she says LBJ signed the civil rights laws; now this.

It just didn't make it through.

You mean this ad?

I bet Clinton actually paid that union both to support Obama and to then badmouth her. Just to make Obama look bad. That's how diabolical she is.

That film was the worst piece of indulgent crap ever made. Quebec film board, I want my 2.5 hours back!
