CLOVERFIELD. In Matt Reeves' thriller, you don't know why a hideous, skyscraper-sized creature is rampaging through the city. But it is,- and since you're in its way, you'd better figure out how to deal with it before your butt gets killed. The film is that simple, intense and crazy for its 80 minutes, as you travel vicariously through the city via the "video camera" of one scared dude. There are no lonq shots of the monster knocking stuff over, or presidential press conferences explaining things. The exclusively first-person technique utilized here means we're living it, we're trying to escape. Back story - who tares? As for the monster, its presence is key to the story - even though, through much of the film, we can't see it. When it's finally revealed, the payoff is worth the wait. S...

• Death of a President

John Nance Garner, one of Harry Truman's vice presidents, once said the vice presidency isn't worth "a bucket of warm piss." But what if the president is assassinated, instantly rocketing the veep into the job of most powerful dude on the planet? That'd make the vice presidency worth-at a rough estimate-about 3 million buckets of warm piss. I'm not saying an extra 2,999,999 buckets of fresh urine would be enough to tempt Dick Cheney to off boy George. But this movie is, I think. And that's just daft. Why would he bother? He's already got his hand so far up W's furry little monkey ass you can glimpse his fingers at presidential press conferences. Why would the ventriloquist murder the dummy?

• Good Riddance to Helen Thomas

The only regret I have about the abrupt termination of the career of Helen Thomas is that it did not end sooner ("Hag gagged,"Comment & Analysis, June 8). From her front-row seat at presidential press conferences, one could always expect that, in addition to her out- of-control questions, she would attack Israel through various statements, showing her bigotry and intolerance for that nation. Perhaps it was a sign she was getting a little old and careless when she made her final, recent remarks as a correspondent, suggesting - or demanding - that Jews go back to the lands where 6 million of their brethren were murdered and that Jews who have lived in Israel for millennia had no right to exist there.

• White House in Anti-Fox Mode -- Blog Rebuttal of Beck Guest Sidesteps Truth

WASHINGTON - Harry Truman banned reporters he disliked from his presidential yacht. Franklin Roosevelt placed his journalistic critics at the back of the room during press conferences. No such subtleties in Barack Obama's White House. A White House blog posting this week dismissed assertions on the Fox News Channel bluntly: "Lies." And don't expect an apology to network owner Rupert Murdoch.
