Super 8 - Not bad. Quite atmospheric. Plot kind of fell flat towards the end but it was entertaining enough and had some interesting effects. I was thinking if I were about the same age group as the kids in this film I would have been all over it, like "Flight of the navigator" and "Goonies"...but, I'm not...however it was a decent film with some very cool scenes and an appropriate level of tension throughout.

X-Men - First Class.
Probably the best X-men film.
Comics fans will have to look past continuity issues with the books, as will fans of the previous films looking for some kind of link-up. It varies here and there from both, and very much establishes it's own continuity.
The guy playing Xavier did ok, the guy Playing Erik/Magneto was awesome.
It's not the origin story I was used to, but a good origin story all the same.
Very well done.
