"Cloverfield"...
...is probably going to stay pretty damn close to the top of my top 10 list throughout the year.

Really? After the beating David Poland gave it I was prepared for the worst. Guess it's one of those love it or hate it things.

Agreed. I just got back from a press screening and I was blown away. Not quite sure the older male critics really went for it though.

Selfish question. Will it hold up on second, third and forth viewings?

But saying a good/great January release is going to stay in your top ten throughout the year sort of goes without saying.
My top 10 stays fairly consistent until fall and that's seeing 2-3 new releases (minimum) each week

No, World, I really do think this is going to remain one of the year's best for the next 12 months. Happy to ultimately be proven wrong, of course.
