Last night, I saw the movie 'Cloverfield'. It was so amazing! It was terrifying (possibly the scariest movie I've ever seen) because it didn't rely on gore, or a serial killer. I mean, its pretty straight forward-a monster is attacking New York City. You (in the beginning) have no idea what it is, where it came from or why it is attacking, but it is. Now, what are you going to do?

Since it was all filmed with a handheld camera, you feel like you're right there with the characters. So since then I've been thinking a lot about what I would do. Would I try to save people (especially people that I love), or would I just run?

And I'm not sure what the answer to that is. Part of me hopes I would just run like hell (self preservation is not always a bad thing). I wouldn't expect anyone to come back for me, in fact I would hate it if someone risked their life for me. I think when it came right down to it, there are people I would go back for. Not because I want to be a hero, or anything like that. But because I'd rather die doing good than live wishing I had.

I know, its all very hypothetical. Monsters aren't going to attack anywhere, I know that. But there are 'monsters' that really do exist. What if we got nuked? or attacked by...I don't know terrorists again or something. Really, what would you do?

Anway, 'Cloverfield' is an excellent movie, well worth however much you have to pay for it and however far you have to drive to see it. Now I'm off to work!
