St. Paul, Minn. — Stephanie Curtis, The Movie Maven and Arts reporter Euan Kerr sit across the cube at Minnesota Public Radio News, where they have a rapid, running dialogue about movies. Together, they are known as The Cube Critics.

This week, the Movie Maven and the Balding Scot look back at "X-Men: First Class," look forward to "The Double Hour" from Italy, and "Submarine" from Britain, but mostly straight at "Super 8," the new film from J. J. Abrams. This includes how to decide on the sweet spot on whether it's too scary for the youngster in your life.

Read the New York Times article Euan Kerr refers to, "In Defense of the Slow and the Boring."
