Posted on June 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Although today’s new releases Super 8 and Road to Nowhere couldn’t be farther apart in terms of budget, genre, tone, influence and spirit, they do have one striking theme in common: At heart, they are both about the sacrifices, struggles and adventures encountered by artists who make movies.
