    I am truly pleased for once a family motion picture is tops in the box office. Plus a movie with such terrific production values including acting, directing and of course special effects. J.J. Abrams, being mentored by directing great Steven Speilberg I am not surprized its such a huge hit. Interesting this picture is so popular when the latest blockbuster before “Super8″ was super raunchy “Hangover Part Two.” I think this means Hollywood is geared toward catering to as many different tastes, movie viewers, as it possibly can.
