~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Super 8 (2011)

Starring: Kyle Chandler, Ron Elrad, Elle Fanning
Director: J.J. Abrams

Premise:
A group of young kids are making a movie when they film a horrible train accident. The Air Force immediately comes in for the clean up which coincides with many strange happenings in the town.

My Take:
The movie was not was I expected as I kept spoiler free. It resonated with the kid in me, since I would've have been close to the same age as the group of friends during the same period of time and had a found love of movies and monsters as in my youth.
The movie resonated with me on every level. A movie not to be missed.

Rating: So Good (very, very good)
