    Super 8

    If you're a fan of Close Encounters... or E.T., you should enjoy this.

    I was the same age as the kids in this movie in 1979 (when the story takes place). While I was not in a group that made home movies, there is so much about the characterization of the kids in this movie that had me vividly remembering those days while I was watching the film. Will definitely go into the collection.

    Or The Gooney's, in my opinion this shared a lot with The Gooney's.

      I watched it earlier this evening. It was fun - ideal for children of all ages. The train wreck was spectacular.

        I watched this and liked it. The train crash is spectacular!!. I don't know about the "children of all ages thing though". My 12 year old daughter would likely be frightened by a few of the scenes in this film.

          The train wreck scene validated having my Anti-Mode 8033 as my sub EQ. Pre-8033, it would have been a far muddier, boomier experience (and not in a good way ) without it.

              Protecting 800 Series Tweeters from Kids
              by EAmin
              Just wondering if anyone with kids has come up with a creative way of protecting the 800 series tweeters. My problem is not so much with my kids, but with rest of the younger population that come over to our house. I currently have 703s which have a much sturdier tweeter housing to keep out the little...

              I won't go into the plot details, that would ruin it for those of you that want to go see it. If you threw Close Encounters, ET, and Transformers in a blender you have elements of Super 8.

              It has the feel of a early Speilberg movie, especially E.T. in that it revolves around a group of...

              Spy Kids 3D
              by Chris D
              Well, Best Buy was having a sale today to coincide with the release of "Spy Kids 3D". If you buy this new movie, you can get Spy Kids 1 and 2 for $9.99 each. Seemed good to me.

              Now, I haven't seen any of the Spy Kids movies, but I've heard they're good, and got some good reviews....

              Friends With Kids
              by George Bellefontaine
              Thought it was time to get back to watching the odd romantic comedy my wife and I enjoyed so much so I went with Friends With Kids. It's written, co-produced and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt. She , and her friend since college days ( Adam Scott ) decide to have a child, but without the romance thing....

              Super glue removal
              by Amphiprion
              This is a bit OT, but I was working on an audio project the other day and managed to get some super glue on my dedicated electronics bench. This has a formica top, so I tried out some various solvents to try and get rid of it. Goo Gone, Denatured Alcohol, and Acetone were the first at bat. Acetone was...
