Miss – Starring Nobody you know
Something has attacked New York City. In order to survive, a group of twenty-somethings attempt to find a way out of the city.
It is amazing how movies get made these days and what is the “inspiration” for a film. I read an article on Yahoo! that told how there were two main sources of inspiration to J.J. Abrams for this film:
1. He was upset that the movie poster for “Escape from New York” had the head of the statue of liberty and yet, this detail was not included in the film.
2. He traveled to Japan and saw the merchandise surrounding Godzilla and realized that America doesn’t have a monster movie of its own.
I personally believe that J.J. took some ideas or got inspiration from the film “The Blair Witch Project.” My question to film makers out there is this:
Is there any reason we can’t have a steady camera? Why do they feel the need to always take us on these roller coaster rides when using the camera? It makes me sick.
Another thing about this movie that makes me sick is that it takes place in New York. Really? Yes, really! Why does every freakin’ monster movie have to take place in New York? Can’t I get a San Francisco? How about a monster at the Alamo? I am really tired of all monsters landing in New York, it is overdone.
The last thing I have to say about this movie is… it is a problem when the talk of this movie is the fact that we all know that the executive producer is J.J. Abrams. Not the director, the executive producer – the person who hands out the money for the film. We should never know who the executive producer is on a movie until we see the credits.
I digress.
