Kazed Reviews: Super 8 (2011)

So it's a little unfair how the US got to see this baby over two months before the UK folk did, but hey, whatever. It just means that this review is meaningless over in the US, right? Maybe. From the outset, the performances were above spectacular, and I was surprised to find that these were from the children, who led the rest of the cast with their brilliant portrayals of their on screen counterparts. Throughout the film they didn't fail to impress. The first scene in which the kids were rehearsing their little film was amazing. I'm referring to the performance of Elle Fanning, who played Alice Dainard. The reactions to her performance by 'Joe' (Joel Courtney), 'Charles' (Riley Griffiths) and the rest of the crew was the same reaction I had after witnessing that wonderful performance by the young lady. Speaking of the cast, the chemistry between the Fanning and Courtney was incredible; to have such chemistry on screen at such a young age isn't something that you see much these days. The story itself was great. J.J Abrams did a great job of keeping everything under wraps until close the the final quarter of the film when everything was revealed. This, was where we saw the full extent and beauty of the production value of Super 8. It was so beautifully done; nothing over the top, it seemed just the right amount of destruction, chaos and death and all that. There were slight touches of E.T. and Close Encounters tucked away amidst everything, but there were obvious inspirational nods to Spielberg's classic flicks. Abrams delivered an impeccable film with so much packed in it; nostalgic moments, spectacular action scenes, and of course the customary emotional stuff. The references to Cloverfield, Star Trek, and even Lost he put in the film gave me a chuckle, but they provided a sense of "hmm-yeah-that's-cool". Performances: 9/10 Plot: 8/10 Visuals: 8/10 Dialogue: 7/10 Overall: 8.5/10

Star Wars: The COMPLETE saga on Blu-ray available from September 2011

So, the website Maythe4th.starwars.com has crashed due to (presumably) high traffic. What we've gathered (Via TotalFilm) is that the entire saga of Star Wars will be available from September 12th including 40 HOURS of special content. That's huge. To be honest, I'm not even sure it's worth it anymore. After releasing the Original trilogy & the new trilogy separately, it just seems like another moneymaking scheme. Well, let's be honest here, of course it is. But then again, 40 hours of Special content sounds like it could be good. I guess we'll have to wait til September! UPDATE: The set, includes NINE DISCS! Here's the list of the first THREE: STAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA ON BLU-RAY is presented in widescreen with 6.1 DTS Surround Sound. Special features include: DISC ONE – STAR WARS: EPISODE I THE PHANTOM MENACE Audio Commentary with George Lucas, Rick McCallum, Ben Burtt, Rob Coleman, John Knoll, Dennis Muren and Scott Squires Audio Commentary from Archival Interviews with Cast and Crew DISC TWO – STAR WARS: EPISODE II ATTACK OF THE CLONES Audio Commentary with George Lucas, Rick McCallum, Ben Burtt, Rob Coleman, Pablo Helman, John Knoll and Ben Snow Audio Commentary from Archival Interviews with Cast and Crew DISC THREE – STAR WARS: EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH Audio Commentary with George Lucas, Rick McCallum, Rob Coleman, John Knoll and Roger Guyett Audio Commentary from Archival Interviews with Cast and Crew TotalFilm have updated their site with a FULL list of Special Features- Read more- TotalFilm.com What are your thoughts on this?

CollegeHumour: Nick Frost & Simon Pegg as R2D2/C3PO

This is hilarious. Just came across this while surfing the interweb, and I thought it was brilliant. Frost and Pegg are almost the only British comedians who I find funny. In the clip, Frost and Pegg try and shoot the original Star Wars trilogy shot by shot, but they only completed a scene. Check it out: Hilarious.
