Looks good in a sort of Cloverfield/Blair Witch way though the hand held camera look is nauseating to some.

A clever idea taking yee oldie 'Super powered brat {s}' and watching as they begin to be corrupted by the talents they have.

Will the two take on the corrupt one? Why are they all male and no female? Still a different and entertaining take on the I've got Super powers -and I know how to use/abuse 'em! genre.

Why should it be otherwise?

This is out now, apparently. I've read some very strong reviews and plan to see it over the weekend if I get time.

Wallace is in this movie, and I think he manages to beat Chronicle in the end.

Ahhh, that's who that actor was! All the way through I kept trying to place him, but failing. I knew it had to be someone from The Wire, though.

The Wire took over my life for a period.
Got all the series on a download and watched it obsessively till the end!

Saw this tonight. Quite good. DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER!

Went for the double bill of The Grey too. Also good in a B-movie sort of way.

Go see the film, then watch the trailer!

Bought the blu-ray, and just watched it.

Well worth a look, the jumping through hoops to get the whole found footage thing working is a bit eye-rolling at times, but there are nice touches to it.

Some great set pieces, good script by Max Landis - who did that Death of Superman youtube vid a while back, I preferred it to Troll Hunter.

So which one is Chronicle?
