Matt, I just want to tell you that any kind of movie which is been produce and take with a POV type is not good at all because it's not having the right quality that most people wants. POV I think is just a test for a movie so that they will know if people will like those types of POV movies. POV is first introduce on those porn movies and sex scandals.

I will say… my favorite movie to make use of POV camera so far is Diary of the Dead…

I liked the premise, and the way they made the POV part of the story.

Definitely the best use of this “style” if you can call it that… but I have to agree with the article overall – it's something that should not be used so liberally – it should be used when it actually fits the story and can be done right… not just to fill holes…

I think POV camera is originally working on from those porn movies and live cams. I have watch already a movie with this kind of setup camera and its really dizzy for me to watch those kinds of POV made movies. POV is really fit for those porn movies because there's no many action but only conversation into it.

When POV is done correctly and for the right reasons, it will work. Such as a serial killer video taping their victims to brag about what they're doing as they taunt the police or FBI, but not video taping themselves so as not to reveal their identity. And there's absolutely no excuse to make the video grainy or shaky with the quality of video cameras and cell phones these days. I think there's still room for smart POV based films that give the audience credit for some smarts and sophistication. In fact I think I'll make one, just to prove it.

P.O.V. is not a new thing. This particular flavour is and will move on. For another look at P.O.V., take a look at Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.

Dude wtf are you talking about? Colverfield had sweet shots of the monster. Do you not remember the close up? And Quarantine might of did well box office wise, but its still a total fail.

Counter point: If you're interested in watching Lizzie Caplan, why are you watching Cloverfield and not True Blood, aka, Lizzy Caplan nude for 27 minutes.

Is the monster the focal point in Cloverfield or Lizzy Caplan?

Exactly.

I believe I've found the logical flaw in your argument. Riddle me this: is the monster in Cloverfield more interesting to look at than Lizzie Caplan?

Exactly.
