We went to Super 8 last night. It was a huge nostalgia flick for me... back to the 70's and a gentler time, where men are men and bottle feelings, Farrah Faucet hairstyles reined supreme in the younger set, cars were big, gas was cheap and kids had the attention span to do detailed things for hours without interruption. (film making, explosive creation, model building) I think I actually screamed in public during this movie. I actually can't be sure if it was me or the man next to me, I did startle at least ten times during this show. My point being it was action packed and thrilling and sweet and funny and I kept thinking "aw, I haven't seen a movie like this in eons." It is the summer blockbuster.
My son should not see this, he would bite his fingernails off. It was even a bit much for our newly minted 16 year old. When I said I could see it again she said it was so stressful, she couldn't. She is going on her first date today, and they are going to see Kung Fu Panda 2.

That's quite the spectrum, from Super 8 to Kung Fu Panda 2! haha. I've been wanting to see Super 8 but was waiting for a "real person" review of it--you've convinced me it's worth the ticket price.
I might have to see it just to see if I scream. I did that at a movie once and scared the crap out of the people around me, then they screamed and I screamed again...I think it might have been Blair Witch Project. I cant wait to have Ruby watch that one...NOT.
