the 39 Steps and Super 8 review

a few days a go I went to and evening show of the 39 Steps, a comedy based of the plot of a Alfred Hitchcock book and I also know that the book was turned into a film.
First of all I think that it was a fantastic play and would recommend it to anyone who is about 14 years and over. What I really enjoyed is that they were very clever of how they applied their actors of which there were about four with two of them changing their roles from time to time. I also quite like that the sketches were very clever which meant that they could nearly always make you laugh. overall I would give this play a ten out of ten because of all the reasons above.
Super 8 was a action film based of the events of camera recording (the main character and their friends are making a movie for some sort of film festival). The story begins when a train is derailed and thousands of white cubes are scattered everywhere what they are used for is explained at the end. The film itself is directed by J.J Abrams rights an interesting spin on the story E.T as it practically follows the basic plot of the movie even to the point where Steven Spielberg is the producer for the film. What I also like is that the main piece of evidence that helps the film get its point across is that the most important piece of evidence is on a roll of film in a camera which is only revealed at the end. Furthermore it is also leaves you hanging in suspence which is mostly through the rustling of leaves and the crackling of gravel. One flaw i can find is that it took a bit to long to get to the important part of the plot and this buildup was a bit dull to watch. Overall I give this film nine out of ten because of the buildup to the main part of the plot.
