J.J. Abrams already had us confounded for three years with that infernal island of mystery in "Lost." Now he's got us all in a tizzy about his �ber-secretive new flick, known only as "Cloverfield." We know there's a headless Statue of Liberty and a monster of some sort running amok in NYC, but that is all. What a way to create buzz.

After years of formulaic and mundane medical and crime dramas, this intriguing fellow has single-handedly put the imagination back in primetime television, and now he set to do it again with this hotly anticipated release. Can. Not. Wait.
