I've been a bit slack with these as I saw Horrible Bosses a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't feeling well when I saw it which may have influenced how I felt about it but I didn't love it. It has a great cast including Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston and is about 3 guys and their horrible bosses that they decide to kill to make their lives easier. I felt it was just the trailer (which was funny) with a few other little bits holding it together.
Captain America is pretty much what you'd expect from the trailers. Weedy man gets turned into big beefy man, a.k.a Captain America and saves the day. Enjoyable nonsense starring Chris Evans!
I saw Super 8 yesterday having seen the trailers periodically over several months and wasn't massively impressed by what 'd seen initially. The main reason was that it said it was written and directed by J.J. Abrams who also made Cloverfield and it looked similar in terms of an unknown threat that seemed like it must be a scary monster, I really didn't like Cloverfield very much. It's produced by Spielberg and is clearly an homage to many of his films such as E.T., Close Encounters and The Goonies as is set in the late 70's and really feels like it although doesn't look dated like some of those older films do. The young cast are very good as this group of kids making a film who get caught up in the drama of a massive train crash which signals the start of some sinister activity in their small town. There was lots of action and it was a really enjoyable film - possibly the best I've seen all year!
