  • 'Super 8' doesn't have the magic of previous Spielberg films.

    Since the very first mysterious trailer for “Super 8” hit theaters there was a buzz surrounding the Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams (“Lost”) collaboration.

They’ve seen the Oberammergau Passion Play, staged every ten years in a village an hour south of Munich, four times. Half the town participates in some way, following a vow made in the 1630s that they would stage the play if God would spare their townspeople from the Black Plague.
