Watch Five Minutes of Cloverfield Now!

OK, I'll admit I've been less than optimistic about this J.J. Abrams giant monster flick. That said, this intense five minutes of footage is pretty impressive. Can they sustain it for a whole movie? I guess we'll find out next month. Till then, this is pretty cool stuff, although I will say that being a native New Yorker, the evocation of 9/11 is slightly off-putting. I guess that's the idea, even if the taste may be questionable.
