I agree about how 90% of movies nowadays are absolute garbage. It seems that in the US, films are basically made to make money, devoid of any real artistry and typically, completely unoriginal. I have really been looking to the films coming out of Japan and Korea for original ideas. Its funny too, because here in the US we keep remaking all the cool Japanese and Korean horror/thriller flicks because we can't come up with any new ideas ourselves.

Cloverfield is in no way original in story or content. Cloverfield is simply a wild ride, with some killer visuals and intense sound. The creators of this film certainly put some thought into it and really tried to do something a little different than the Hollywood norm, and for that, I have to give props. I have never seen The Blair Witch Project, but a lot of folks are comparing it to that, only saying that Blair Witch basically sucked, while Cloverfield was awesome.
