Interesting Movies in 2011: Super 8


You remember those cool Steven Spielberg movies that we watched when we kids? E.T. and Jurassic Park? Hell, some of us even thought Hook was fun back then! Haven't had much movies like that since. Joe Dante does what he can with movies like The Hole and Small Soldiers, but there's something that only Spielberg can bring to the table when it comes to capturing a boy's life.

Only time will tell how much of Spielberg is in J.J. Abrams's Super 8, though knowing J.J., I don't think he's releasing much control of his movies to anyone. Still mostly shrouded is secrecy, although not as much as Cloverfield was back in 2009, Super 8 seems to give us that same feeling again, based on the trailer below. Also the  score on the trailer sounds a lot like old school John Williams. Sounds like another winner for Michael Giacchino.






Ps. Does anyone remember the TV show Early Edition? Kyle Chandler kicked ass in that one. When is that coming on DVD?
