Super 8 >> Super Film?

Oh J.J. Abrams. I can't help but watch anything and everything that he has a part in, so of course I went to see the new film Super 8. I was actually not sure what to expect from this film, as the only thing I knew about the film before seeing it was that it has something to do with a group of kids filming a short film, some sort of supernatural monster and a water tower. I also knew that Andrew Kramer had helped do the visual effects for the film, so lets just say I was expecting a lot in the visual effects department. I personally have to say that the effects were AWESOME!!! and that I would recommend this film to someone just for the effects. There were some areas that were lacking in my opinion, however. The story was good, but as the movie progressed I kept thinking that the movie was going in one direction only to discover that the plot took a new turn (although with J.J. Abrams, I guess that is to be expected.)

FINAL SCORE:

Story/Plot: 8/10
Acting/Cast: 8/10
Effects/Visuals: 9/10
Music: 8.5/10

OVERALL: 33.5/40 - 83.75%

UPDATE AS OF 12/19/2014
The verdict?
Pretty damn good / Recommend Heartily

8 out of 10

How Do You Know?

The following is a short review on the new film How Do You Know, starring Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd, among others. At the risk of sounding like a pessimist, and of starting this new blog off with a negative, How Do You Know was awful. Sorry, but it just was. Among a barrage of other things, it was agonizingly slow. The entire movie could have lasted about 45 minutes, and not lost a thing. The cast was awkward, and the entire film just didn't really flow. Because I feel that a positive is in order, I will now stop typing. Really though, wait until you can get the film through Netflix or redbox, because it is really not worth the $10+ they are charging for movie tickets these days.
