I have to apologize to everyone.  When I was writing my worst films of 2008 list, I forgot the film that in my opinion sucked harder than any other flick this year, Cloverfield. I know most of the moviegoing public loves this movie, but I can’t stand it.  

I hate the fact that they spent millions of dollars to make a movie look like crap.  I hate the fact that the poor actors’ feet get more screen-time than their faces.  I hate the fact that the guy holding the camera is the worst camera man on the planet.  The guy runs around with the camera on because he wants to capture the events unfolding in front of his eyes, but instead decides that various shots of the road would be much more interesting than actually filming the unfolding events.  

So I’ve decided that in my humble opinion Cloverfield is 100% crap.  So I give it my seal of disapproval, and labeled it certified 100% crap.  Because it is by far, again this is my opinion, the worst film of 2008.

I enjoy the types of films that used to dominate late night television in the '80s, spending time with my family, filmmaking, photography, Rubik's Cubes, Diet Pepsi, building old Shogun Warriors model kits, Canon cameras, comic books, AOR, coconut ice cream, mac & cheese, cold pizza, popcorn, nachos, UL Football tailgating, film festivals, reading, Barry Manilow (don't ask), films with both Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in them, Alf, Pac Man, 1979 Trans AMs, beer, Godzilla, Hooters (both the restaurant and ones girls like to keep hidden), and Bigfoot (he's real). I'm just saying.
