SUPER 8

[krickets]

TRUTH: I am so, so, cynical about anything involving JJ Abrams but even I got butterflies in my stomach when I watched it because of the MUSIC and the big-eyed precocious kids and Steven Spielberg and shades of ET which is one of my all-time favorites, and even a little of that tingly sensation I associate with M. Night in there (shut up, I still love him, despite recent failures.) This movie's got my number. I can feel it. (Also, Coach Taylor, is that you?)

It's pretty darn good. Plus I love Elle Fanning and didn't know she was in it. I am hesitant to say she is more talented than her sister, but I am willing to acknowledge the possibility. But I am also willing to say that she is talented in a completely different more subtle kind of way and I totally dig it.

I wait with bated breath for his comeback.
