SUPER 8 - Great Summer Movie

SUPER 8

Went to see Super 8 this weekend.  This was vintage Stephen Spielberg with charming children living a normal life in some idyllic suburb near Cleveland, OH.  One of the boys is making a movie with his super 8 camera and the rest are cast and crew.  Having snuck out to film at night, they are witness to a shocking train crash that doesn't make sense.  The whole town is thrown into chaos and naturally, the children are the only ones who have a clue.  It's a great summer movie, with heroic children, imperfect parents, good guys vs bad guys and something unseen through most of the movie that keeps us on the edge of our seat.  I wouldn't take young children, but everyone over ten would probably be fine with it.
