"Do not speak of this. You don't know what is happening here."

I am not sure if it is because of all the hype leading up to Super 8, but I was a little underwhelmed. Do not get me wrong, it was good, I was just hoping to be completely blown away and I was not. J.J. Abrams kept so much of the storyline a secret and I actually think that made it worse because I was expecting some big surprise about what was going on in this town and it definitely did not happen like that at all.

I felt that the mystery was too drawn out for what the eventual reveal is finally. By the time they show you what is going on you have pretty much already figured it out for yourself. Of course, I got sick of Lost and gave up in the middle of the second season. I like to know up front what is going on and I get pretty bored when things get dragged out too far without being explained.

"Your obsession with fireworks, and I'm saying this as a friend, concerns me.....and my mother."

Opening this weekend is Super 8 and Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer.

Super 8 is brought to us by J.J. Abrams, the mind behind TV shows Lost, Fringe, Alias and Felicity. It was also produced by Steven Spielberg. The cast includes Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, and Noah Emmerich.

Set during the summer of 1979 in rural Ohio, a group of young teenagers are making a movie on their super-8 video camera when they witness a train accident, which they inadvertently capture on film. The town's residents begin to disappear and no one can figure out why. Abrams has been very tight-lipped about details from the movie, but it promises to be a thrilling and suspenseful supernatural mystery.
