The perfect Fourth of July movie

The bombs are still exploding in the distance and my back fence neighbor continues to set off several loud booms and fizzes as he has all night. Somebody was throwing bombs out in the street earlier. Lots of screaming and shouting, both near and far.

Fireworks of any kind are completely illegal in the City of Los Angeles, btw, so I was so hoping the cops would come by. Maybe they did because the bombing of the street finally stopped.

So what movie did I watch?

Cloverfield.

I must say, the surroundsound added a great deal to the experience. But I could have wished my cat hadn't been so terrorized.

I really loved Cloverfield, btw. My kind of guerilla moviemaking. Or guerilla-like, since Paramount released it.
