Super 8 (2011)
A bunch of kids are making a movie when they witness an event that will soon change the world. This is a good movie but I couldn't shake the feeling I had seen it before, then it hit me.. Steven Spielburg.. I guess even 'the master' can't resist repackaging. Sure its darker, hipper, bigger and louder than the first one but all the same elements are in place although Elliot.. oops.. I mean Joe.. is old enough they can throw in a little spring romance to sweeten the pot. The cube gimmick is cool enough to warrant seeing this movie if for no other reason. Even if you don't need to phone home its hard to imagine you won't be entertained.. more sci-fi and less Reese's Pieces this time around but still good family friendly entertainment. Recommended.
