A Throwback’s Throwback I’ll be completely honest and say that I never saw J.J. Abrams’ wonderful film, Super 8, until just a few days ago. It’s one of those films that slipped through the cracks for me. It was released in 2011, a year in which a large number of popular debut films and sequelsContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Super 8 (2011)”
