"Super 8": it will be super loud and super fun inside The Brotherhood Lounge tonight.
NOW THIS IS A SUNDAY NIGHT! >>>
The Brotherhood Lounge used to be the spot to rally support and spit at the likeness of management. Now it's the spot to eye cute hipster types. Either way, it's always a great spot to drink booze.
Sunday is movie night at the downtown Olympia watering hole. Tonight at 7 p.m. The Brotherhood Lounge will screen Super 8.
Weekly Volcano scribe Rev. Adam McKinney reviewed Super 8 this past June. Here's what he wrote:
It's a sad position I've been placed in by Super 8: on the one hand, it is a good movie. It has all of the enjoyable elements of a good, summer popcorn flick. On the other hand, I must recognize its goodness comes as such a relief because it exists as a standalone film, and not as part of a franchise.
But, while it is an original film, it is not an original film, if you get my meaning.
The critical shorthand that reviewers use will surely mention the combination of movies like The Goonies and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Steven Spielberg being the producer, aliens are bound to be involved). These comparisons will be true - which is not to say this is a bad thing. Sure, Super 8 is compiled from scraps of earlier movies, but this is mostly taken as reverential nods to those classics.

The Reverend awarded the film a whopping three out of four stars. Just add booze.
