I can visualize a young JJ Abrams seeing ET and thinking "you know what that movie needs? A shit-ton of lens flares!"
I had a great time watching this movie and I loved, LOVED, watching it with my kids but after the first hour every damn lens flare took me out of the picture. In the last 20 minutes it became laughable. I was trying not to ruin it for my family but I couldn't help it. I was being lens flared to death.
That said, I really liked Super 8. There were a couple of things that took me out of the viewing experience that were not lens flare related but I think that if I get into those specifics I might spoil it for the three people who haven't seen it, but I can't live with that on my shoulders.
I'll give Super 8 a Way Decent on the Mr Blunderson scale, but a fair amount of that is because at heart I am a massive sap, and this really did take me. Take out the lens flares and the score would be even better than that.

Review - Repo Man
by Mr. Blunderson
In the interest of full disclosure this is the first time I have ever seen this movie. How freaking sad is that, right? I've seen clips, heard clips, but never actually done my duty as a human until just now. Pretty pathetic, I know.
God! It feels good to get that off my chest.
All you need to know is that from now on all other movies I review will also be judged against Repo Man, arguably the greatest movie ever made.
What? You don't think that Repo Man is the greatest movie ever made? Well, let us argue about it then.
But in the mean time, Harry Dean Stanton is THE SHIT. You hear me?????
Emelio Estivez is the mad notes, and lays the groundwork to be forgiven for all those Mighty Ducks movies.
Repo Man is a film where a cold hard story of reality and a completely balls off the wall goofy ass science fiction film are told side by side until they collide in a mad climax that can only be seen to be appreciated. In other words, Repo Man gets a clear and definitive Oh Hells Yes! on the Mr. Blunderson Scale.
You feel me?
