Like an idiot, I decided to go see the first showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at 12:01AM this morning.

Big mistake!

Last time I saw a 12:01AM showing was the opening of Cloverfield, and it was great. The theater was packed, people were hyped…I even bought $6 popcorn. So I expected great things for the release of Indiana Jones, but come show-time I was only one of nine other people in the massive amphitheater.

Overall fan excitement aside, the movie felt like a generic and tired version of the past three Indy flicks, but more lame. The blatant overuse of CGI makes the movie look airbrushed. Shia Leboeuf plays a unconvincing and fruity 50’s greaser. And it hurts me to say, but 65-year-old Harrison Ford can’t make action movies work anymore.

*Spoiler Alert!*

In the (merciful) finale, the crystal alien skull is placed inside an ancient Inca temple. The temple turns into an alien spacecraft and Kate Blanchett spontaneously combusted. The end!

Steven Spielberg, I want a refund!

Honestly, I had trouble staying awake during this one, so I’d suggest you go out and rent Raiders of the Lost Ark, and pretend this franchise didn’t just go down in flames.

The Cloverfield sequel has been confirmed but no significant details have been leaked so as of right now we are left to speculate as to what J.J. Abrams has up his sleeve. For you Cloverfield addicts be sure to monitor the Untitled J.J. Abrams Cloverfield Sequel IMDb page for updates.

After a metric-ton of viral videos and red herrings involving the plot, Cloverfield is finally in theaters today…but wait! As always in the world of J.J. Abrams, the plot thickens…

The guys over at Bloody Disgusting (SpookyDan to be more precise) talked with Cloverfield director Matt Reeves and writer Drew Goodard during the red-carpet premiere of the film last night. After a few tidbits about the movie’s creation – Goodard states that it was shot as an R-rated film then edited for a wider market (read: PG-13) – an interesting idea was candidly tossed out by Reeves regarding a Cloverfield sequel – or at least an alternate version of sorts.

The monster turned out scarier than expected:

I knew J.J. Abrams wouldn’t let me down.

With all the hullabaloo surrounding J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield – yes, it’s titled Cloverfield; check the credits – don’t expect this particular trailer to stay up on some random YouTube account for long.

Warning: this trailer is loud, with the volume distorting when turned up.

Meet Rachel Nichols: no, not the ginger ESPN sideline reporter, but the Rachel Nichols that will be starring in JJ Abrams’ remake of Star Trek.
