Super 8 and Nostalgia

I saw Steven Spielberg's latest offering last night - Super 8, and seeing it reminded me of those days back in the 80's when I was a huge fan of Mr Spielberg, and the magic of adventure, friendship, and the feeling of innonence that movies brought back then.

The movie reminded me of flicks like The Goonies, ET, The Explorers, Indiana Jones, Stand By Me - just to name a few - the movies where as a child you wish you and your friends can share the same adventure, where you can be the hero and where you can get the girl!

I remember my mom and sister taking me to see many of these movies and how I just fell in love with the pure magic of Hollywood! Yep - times have changed.......I really enjoyed Super 8 because it had that classic formula that Spielberg had in his 80's movies - a great story, a great bunch of friends, innonence, and a great adventure, and just pure entertainment that can bring a smile or a tear!

If you get a chance to see it - please do - it is fun, the story really keeps you on the edge and in one or two scenes I almost teared up - the acting was not overdone in this movie - the emotion and expressions by all of the actors were enough to have you feel the movie.

PS: And part of the reason why I loved this movie - was Kyle Chandler - ah - he was just so handsome to look at - ummmm hmmmmm!


Anyways peeps - TTYL!
