Super 8

What I liked:

• The acting in this film is top notch.  Especially given that most of these kids have little to no acting experience.
• Joel Courtney was perfect as Joe Lamb.  His big brown eyes showed so much emotion without him having to say a word.
• Elle Fanning is just as good as her sister, if not better.
• The story is rich with creativity, emotion, comedy, romance, and adventure.
• The special effects are outstanding.

• The soundtrack was groovy with 70's hits.
• OLTL alum, Jessica Tuck.
• Felicity and Alias alumn, Amanda Foreman!  Thank you J.J.
• One far out hippie played by 7th Heaven's David Gallagher.  It's nice to see him do a quality project unlike some of his former 7H sisters.
• You sort of fee a little LOST vibe with the opening score and some Smoke Monster like events.
• It takes place in Ohio.
• Watch the credits for bonus footage and a shout out to the Cleveland International Film Festival.
