CLOVERFIELD warning and 9/11 DEBATE

CLOVERFIELD has swallowed up an estimated $41 million over the weekend making it the most successful January opening ever with a 76% fresh rating on RT and 8.1 rating on IMDB after 4,635 votes at the time of writing. Basically it's a mega hit. Though it might not be good for those feeling a little under the weather as that above picture shows and from some of the feedback from the general movie going audience. Because we live in the U.K. and won't see this movie for a little while and we don't have any U.S. writers at present to cover the review, I thought I thought I would upload the thoughts from Richard Roeper and Michael Phillips on this week's Ebert and Roeper... Cloverfield (2008) - Roeper & Phillips' Review Are they right about the 9/11 imagery now being used as entertainment? It was only two to three years ago that controversy went out over the 9/11 re-tellings UNITED 93 and WORLD TRADE CENTER... did those movies break the barrier and it's now ok to use imagery that invokes the disaster for our enjoyment value? And if so, does anyone have a problem with that? I thought it might make for an interesting poll...
