Super 8

This weekend, we watched Super 8.  We've had it from Netflix for a while and finally got around to watching it.  It was different, but I liked it.  It reminded me of E.T. in a way.

During the summer of 1979, a group of friends witness a train crash and investigate subsequent unexplained events in their small town.

The movie reminded me a little of what it was like when I was a kid during the summer.  We went outside and played with our friends.  We rode our bikes everywhere.  We used our imaginations for our entertainment and none of us cared to be inside if we could be playing outside with friends.  The movie kind of took me back, minus the whole train-wreck and other of the the ordinary things that actually happened to these kids.

Have you seen Super 8?  If so, what did you think??

Any great movies you've seen lately that I should check out?
