Paul

From the genius minds of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg ('Shaun of the Dead') comes a new alien movie - 'Paul'. Did we need a new alien movie? Yeah, we did. It's definitely time.

Every dork and scifinerd will enjoy this, but more importantly I think nearly everybody who lived through the years of E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc will enjoy it.

Seth Rogen plays the voice of Paul. I found the staging of the voice and the obvious green screen animations to be a bit distracting - the humans just don't interact with the alien convincingly enough. There are holes in what passes for a 'plot' that will drive hard core alien lovers a little nuts. So it's lightweight fare to be sure, only there is an inordinate amount of cussing and sexual jokes, so it's totally inappropriate for kids.

Sort of makes you wonder what demographic the movie was aiming for. I enjoyed it, just for the silliness aspect, and the bit of Klingon dialogue.

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place. Saw Super Manger Shane and got some hot fresh popcorn to put under my sprinkle cheese :)

Gave this one a solid "3" - it was alot of fun.
