I'm starting something new here. I'm doing a 30-week movie challenge. I figure when the 30-weeks are up I can do something else pertaining to movies. So, let's get started!
Week One: Best movie you saw in the last year.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I thought I would be bored with it, especially with it being a bit on the Sci-Fi side. Nope, I really liked it. You can definitely tell its a Spielberg movie, though. If you have seen it, you will notice that there are elements from most of his movies in this one. Some kids find a map (Goonies), they are up against the military who is after an alien (E.T.), townsfolk look to the local sheriff for directions (Jaws), and the town must evacuate because of a fabricated disaster (Close Encounters).
But for me, it works. Its not a rip-off of any of the aforementioned films. Also, there is a young actor in the movie named Gabriel Basso who plays Martin. Don't know if we're related but it was kinda cool to see an actor with my last-name.
