run a review from a secondary notable source, like Leonard Maltin, or Chuck
Koplinski, or Roger Ebert, but, this time we have a guest who doesn't
normally do movie reviews!! Troy Taylor is too busy writing books of the weird,
dastardly heinous world of crime and the denizens of the dark to do things like
that! He now has 81 books in print (yes, you heard that right 81!!) but he was
so impressed with "Super 8" he sent me this thoughtful piece to help YOU
decide you need to see this movie!! We ran this last week, but I want to
make sure all of you read this heartfelt rumination from an author that

face="Century Gothic">Like the kids in SUPER 8, I was a nerd in 1979. I spent
those summer days obsessed with movies and monsters and it became a time that
literally shaped my life. I had no idea then that those waning days of middle
school were as important as they were. I wouldn’t know until many years later,
when adulthood landed on me with full force. My childhood obsessions – which I
was supposed to outgrow and yet never did – became my life’s work. I never got
into the movie business (until recently) but most can agree that I seem to know
a thing or two about ghosts and monsters. I daydreamed back then about never
really working for a living and as it turned out, I don’t. If you can do what
you love for a living, someone wiser than I once said, you’ll never work a day
in your life.<o:p></o:p></FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

face="Century Gothic">I think nostalgia is the main reason that I loved SUPER 8
so much. I saw myself there on the screen (perhaps a little bit in every one of
the characters) but I saw my childhood friends there too. We were the goofy kids
who buried our noses in books and had our copies of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND
confiscated by teachers. We read those magazines cover to cover and put together
the models that we ordered from the back pages, inhaling the fumes of countless
tubes of clear, sticky glue. It was in the back pages of those magazines that we
found the reels of Super 8 films that we could order for only a few bucks and
screen them on the wall of our parents’ basements. Entire films were condensed
down to just the highlights, but we didn’t care because we had our own private
movie theaters. We watched them in awe but if there was one thing that we
dreamed about the most, it was making a movie all our
own.<o:p></o:p></FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

face="Century Gothic">SUPER 8 is just the sort of movie that we would have
wanted to make if we could have. It had all of the ingredients of everything we
loved – a monster, explosions, a train wreck, military secrets, guns, a
spaceship and even a pretty girl. I would have loved this movie in 1979, just
the same way that I love it now. SUPER 8 truly <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">is</I> the best movie of the summer and
possibly the best movie that I have seen so far this year. I can’t remember the
last movie that I saw that captured the feeling of a middle-school American
summer in the way that this one has. <o:p></o:p></FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

face="Century Gothic">It’s a simple story, at least at first. A group of kids
set out to make their own zombie movie (using a battered Super 8 camera, hence
the title), accidentally witness a sensational train crash that has mysterious
undertones and then become involved in an extraterrestrial tale that conjures up
memories of Spielberg’s E.T. – a movie that came out just a few years after my
fateful summer of 1979 and which I saw at the Avon Theater of all places.

face="Century Gothic">Writer-director JJ Abrams calls the movie a “love letter
to the kind of Super 8 monster and chase films that he made as a boy”, which
were in turn influenced by the late 1970s and early 1980s films of Steven
Spielberg, who produced the film, and who also made monster and chase films on
Super 8 as a boy. Whatever influenced this almost magical movie, though, it
works beautifully. <o:p></o:p></FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

face="Century Gothic">The science-fiction and action in the film is amazing and
creates the questions that drive the story --- why are secret military troops
taking over the town? What were they hiding in that train car? What’s stealing
cables, car engines and microwaves all over town? Why are all of the dogs
running away? What happened to all of those missing people? This is all
important to the film, but what really makes it work is the human cast, both the
kids as the main characters and the adults around them. It’s a movie about love
and loss, tragedy and family and a portrait is painted (once again) of real
people that we loved, lost and grew up with.

face="Century Gothic">If you’re anything like me, this movie will take you back
to a simpler time. SUPER 8 is a movie that I wish I could have made (or perhaps
even lived) back then and if you were one of “those kids”, like I was, I urge
you to see it. Even if you weren’t, you don’t want to miss it. There’s something
here for just about anybody, of just about any age. Bring your kids and, like
me, explain to them why it was called SUPER 8. It just might bring back some
good memories for you.<o:p></o:p></FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
