First 15 minutes.

So far this movie is funny as heck. I am actually hoping that a monster never shows up. This movie could have been good just as a character driven drama/comedy. I don't want the stupid monster to interfere with the story.

Okay... monster just hit... back soon.

p.s. I've only thrown up twice. I don't think it's as bad as everyone said.

My first negative impression... I have been to parties like that in NYC. I don't recall there ever being that many drop dead gorgeous people in one place. I don't think it would be possible would it? All those pretty people at one party. They all know each other? What are the odds? I also don't think some pretty boy that young would be the VP of some Japanese corporation.

Okay back to the movie... they are crossing the bridge...

... oh crap.. that's going to sting.

No freaking way! A light on a camera like that would suck up the batteries like crazy. You've got to be kidding me. There is NO WAY I would walk down a subway tunnel.

Oh cool! RATS!

Reminds me. I caught a mouse in a trap yesterday morning. Those things freak me out. It took me 20 minutes to figure out how to put the trap and the mouse into a garbage bag without touching or looking at it. It required heavy gloves, dark sunglasses and a shovel.

Back to the movie.... big product placement scene. Aquafina... Mountain Dew... I'm thirsty... Ooooh... I found a beer and some microwave popcorn! I forgot about those.

p.s. I like those looters. An alien attacks the city, rips the head off of the Statue of Liberty... LET'S STEAL A COMPUTER!

53:00

Exploding heads! WooHoo!

Yeah right. This has to be some other administration. Do you really think some military guy is going to tell a couple of yuppies military secretes and let them run around with a running video camera?

I hope they find Beth.

p.s. Nausea has passed. Little dizzy though. I moved the movie from the huge monitor to the smaller CRT to cut down on the disorientation.
p.s.s. I would have looted the Apple store.

Thank goodness. I was expecting another "rebar death scene" like the one from the last Matrix sequel. God that scene was so annoying. When I saw it in the theater I finally shouted "DIE ALREADY!" and people applauded.

Drinking a beer and watching this movie is NOT a good combination.

This must be set in the future. There is no way our military would have that kind of fire power available so quickly.

1:06:59

Black hawk down! I never saw that coming. What a surprise! Caught me completely off guard.

Beth is amazing. A rusty dirty rebar through the shoulder and she's just fine.

well... that sucks... I liked him. Camera still works. I want that camera.

1:13:00

Are you kidding me? It's over? Oh man. That was too short. I can't believe it. What a rip off.

In conclusion.... I LIKED THIS MOVIE. I liked the acting. It was funny and scary. A head exploded. You can't complain with a good head explosion.... I may have to watch that scene again. It could be the military shot her in the head because she got bitten by the... thingies. I was disappointed that so many people... died. Maybe a sequel could be done as a "regular" movie. Show it from a different perspective. That would be fun. Good grief. Movie's over and I didn't even finish my popcorn or my beer.

What CAMERA did they use? Man! That camera... they should make airplanes out of that camera.

Well Vern you did it again, fully enjoyable , "as it plays" review. I had already seen the movie, have it on DVD, I was very surprised that I actually liked it. And I think the hand held camera stuff has less of an effect on the large screen TV I view it on, actually no effect to me , and that comes from a fella who gets nauseated just from walking. Still I say you should collect all these Vern writings and put them in a book...I smell a best seller, might even top ObamaNation on the NYT best seller list, we will all get together and buy bulk copies to rig the stats. Can't say I haven't learned anything from those Wrong winged repube nut jobs, Hey! I went from your movie review to a political attack, Wow! thats Cool! (yea, right)

Speaking of these so called "books"... doesn't libel apply? That latest Obama book is full of lies... out right bold faced made it up sitting on the john lies. Can't that be considered slanderous or libelous? I'm confused. Does that sort of thing not apply in politics? Can't there be some sort of restraining order or injunction? Celebrities sue tabloids all the time and win.

Does this mean I could start a blog or write a book and say... for example... the other candidate running for US president was... grown from genetically modified DNA, raised in an underground facility run by a coven of albino witches. I could swear it was true. Show documentation and photos of the cloning procedure. I would put in foot notes and everything. It's all made up but apparently you don't need to verify it and if you do and you are wrong you don't have to apologize or explain it? Don't reporters lose their jobs when they make stuff up?

Sounds like what I believe about John McBush, Im afraid that would be closer to the truth than the lies the Repubs spew....about whomever they wish. But in total honesty, McCain is from a warmonger family, I expect a world wide depression and at least two new wars when he becomes prez. Along with making abortion a criminal offense regardless if the child was conceived through rape (which Teflon John thinks is humorous) or incest (which JM. has practiced)
