What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.

So, what is Cloverfield? Probably if you've watched the ads, you've thought of Godzilla, and although it certainly has a lot in common with that series, it also has elements of The Blair Witch Project. It's a monster movie, but told in a hyper-realistic way, from the point of view of the people on the streets who are running between the toes of the monster. Critics (well, the cut-rate ones, anyway) will often compare films to roller coasters in their reviews, but Cloverfield is one of the few movies I've seen that actually delivers a roller coaster-like experience. There were moments during the first half of this film when I was literally gasping for breath and clutching at my seat as I tried not to have a heart attack. It is intense, and the pseudo-first-person perspective only makes it more so.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.
