Super 8 is not Super Great

Aside from some of the language used by the kids in Super 8, during part of the movie (and there is one unnecessary word used by one immature adult), this science fiction film might be OK for some older children, although it’s more for teens who like frightening scenes of action. Discriminating adults can find much to be desired, except for those adults deeply into sci-fi films having destructive alien monsters. For most adults with taste and for most children, stay away and save your time and money.

From the blog LDS Author:

Creating a movie both engaging and satisfying to a discriminating viewer—that requires more than a healthy seed of an original idea, more than professional acting, more than astonishing special effects. Super 8 failed to satisfy me and my wife and engaged us only superficially, and then only up until near the ending. For those with a special desire to see Kyle Chandler in a new role, or a new monster in an old role, this movie certainly can satisfy, in some way, but the production could have been much better, probably at every stage from writing to directing.

Long Beach Child Care

“We have been thoroughly pleased with the level of care, love and affection that you have provided to both of our children over the past 10 years” (Clark and Kristie, parents in Long Beach)

Two rooms are devoted entirely to child care. Other rooms are specially arranged for the comfort and safety of children during educational activities, meals, and nap (when needed according to individual needs of children).

In this childcare home, pre-school education is taken seriously, although we still make it fun for the children.
