The sci fi comedy from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead). They play two sci fi nerds on the holiday of a lifetime, attending an American Comic book convention and then following the American UFO trail. I really enjoyed this, not for any one glaring reason that I can think of. It just came together really well. Seth Rogen as Paul the alien worked really well, and Jason Bateman as the special agent. There are heaps of sci fi references, no doubt many more than I noticed. And some cameos from a couple of sci fi stalwarts.

It's light hearted, but it's entertaining. That's all that matters to me. I don't feel the need to be all



with every movie I see (",)

4/5

Quote
my score for recent movies you may have seen:

  5/5 - The Way Back, The Kings Speech, Michael Clayton, In Bruges, Gran Torino, Mary and Max

4.5/5 - Taken, Iron Man, Reign Over Me, Watchmen, The girl with the dragon tattoo

  4/5 - True Grit, Traitor, Bedtime Stories, Sunshine, pineapple express

3.5/5 - 300, Max Payne, You dont mess with the Zohan, Yes Man

  3/5 - That new Indiana Jones flick, Disturbia, That new TMNT flick,

2.5/5 - Angels and Demons

  2/5 - The Love Guru. Note: My 2 is probably someone elses 1. Just leaving room for worse!

I think it was because she was the only chick in that movie besides sigourney weaver.  ;D But yeah, also loved the movie. I wish Michael Beihn would have been in it as planned instead of Jeffrey Tambor, but it was still awesome. I thought Seth Rogan was a poor choice for the alien at first, but it worked out. Great flick. Pegg and Frost rule!
Pictures are overrated anyway.
