Super 8.

Balls 4.

trying to stay spoilersafe but i'll say this - throughout the movie a group of friends are making a super 8 film to enter into a contest. stick around during the end credits to see this film - i'm sure it had a name but i can't recall.

That's one part of the plot - the other is the mysterious stuff hinted at in the trailers so I wont talk about that yet.

What I liked -

I was really impressed with the kids in the movie.

What I disliked -

the lens flares. oh god. the lens flares.

all in all a fun movie and i'll definitely want to see it again. It's mostly pretty serious but there are some laugh out loud moments from time to time.

While it has an old style like early Spielberg films I think I enjoyed it a lot more than i have those [E.T. et al.]

not sure how i feel about the plot over all but I certainly had a good time watching it.
