Super 8

Dena had been interested in this for a while. God blessed me with a wife who digs action flicks!

A group of five friends, including one who'd lost his mother in a tragic accident, are out making an amateur film for a festival. A train crash unleashes terror on a small Ohio town. The Air Force moves in and plays the bad guy, snooping all about and hiding details. It begins to feel like several recent science fiction movies that end upon an unsettling note of world doom.

Then it all shifts. You remember that this is a Steven Spielberg gig. I haven't seen a movie quite like this since E.T.

Welcome Elle Fanning (Dakota's little sister) who plays the love interest and teams up with her beau to prove that kids can be smarter than adults with their hearts in the right place.

I wouldn't pay for 3D or motion chairs, but I'd recommend you squeeze this in on your holiday if you can!
