Brief Summary - While filming a 'homemade' zombie movie, local adolescents witness a terrible train crash. The 'accident' triggers a series of uncanny events, disappearances, and a host of disruptions that eventually materialize into something more horrifying than anyone can imagine.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 super 8 earned an 8.5

Movie Strengths - Likeable cast, refreshing plot, stimulating visuals, epic train crash, loud explosions, chaos & puppy love [aww]

Movie Weaknesses - NONE!

Final Thoughts - Super 8 is watch worthy! I applaud the producers for maintaining the suspense, building viewer expectations and then matching it... I was captivated by this movies mystique, intrigued by its imaginative plot and thoroughly entertained ...BRAVO Abrams & Spielberg beat yuh chest an take a bow :)

Movie Review: X-Men 1st Class

Brief Summary - Before a line was drawn between the famous mutant heroes and villains they were united against a common foe Sebastian Shaw. Shaw is determined to wipe out the human race via World War 3 and its up to young non-bald headed Professor Xavier,'Conflicted' Magneto,'Moody' Mystique,'Baby' Beast and a few other forgettable misfits to stop him.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 the mutants earned a 6.7

Movie Strengths - Consistent action, covert missions, spy/sniper tactics, a few chuckles here & there, ill-fated love interests.

Movie Weaknesses - Kevin Bacon's attempt to be sinister failed to make a favorable impression!

Final Thoughts - This movie is entertaining despite its inaccuracy. As an avid fan of the comics and cartoons it is obvious that the screen writers did not do their homework...shame on them!

Movie Review: The Hangover 2

Brief Summary - Stu is getting married to Lauren in Thailand, but once his crew [Phil,Alan & Doug] arrive what starts out as an innocent camp fire toast ends up being...a catastrophe [for the actors and unfortunately viewers also].

Rating - On a scale of 1 to 10 this failed comedic mess barely deserves a 3.

Movie Strengths - Stellar cast, picturesque filming locations in Thailand

Movie Weaknesses - this movie is suppose to be hilarious and spontaneous but it is NEITHER thanks to its flat lining script.

Final Thoughts - Sober, buzzed or stale drunk this movie is NOT funny...AT ALL!
