Blu Ray Steelbook Pre-Order's (25/04/2011)

Hey everyone. I hope you all had a awesome weekend. I apologize for the recent lack of posts to my Blog but iv'e been slightly busy and what with Blogger randomly deciding to freeze whilst i was just about to post the Machete review i lost 1 hours work...Fuckin Chuck Norris!

Any way this post continues from a recent post about Blu Ray Steelbooks and where to Pre-Order the latest from. If your like me you should be excited right now and close to jizzing in your pants (all jokes... just to clear that up). Im starting to think that Steelbooks are getting too popular with producers, they are starting to mass-produce them and avoid deeming them OOP (out of print) due to heavy increase in Steelbook licking freaks (like me) purchasing them.

Heres the list !

(everything below subject to change... please dont sue me).

Paul (The Alien) (Simpletons Review)

(Review Below)

Film : Paul
Format: Standard Def
Run time (approx):
My Rating (out of 10):  8
Genre: Adventure/Comedy/Sci-Fi

Film Highlight: The Mos Eisley bar scene returns from Star Wars, with a comical finish. Oh and an alien with three tits !! Awesome

Paul, a movie directed by Greg Mottola and written by comedy duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is about two British comic book enthusiasts travelling across the United States but encounter an alien outside of area 51.

This movie has a strong budget and it doesn't fail to show, the cast was chosen to pin-point precision with every actor completing the mission given to them. Of course we had Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz/Shaun of the Dead) but other cast members included Sigourney Weaver (OMG Legend), Jefferey Tambor (HellBoy), David Koechner and Seth Rogen (as the voice of Paul). Except for the Corneto munching Nick Frost and the Japanese Peace Lilly savouir Simon Pegg, the other comedy duo Jason Bateman and Nelson Ascencio (A couple of dumb-ass agents) stole the show with their comic performance which brought many laugh out loud moments.

I loved the story and plot of this film, I mean who wouldn't want to help a drug fueled stereotypical alien get home, and theres no one better to do it than Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. There are so many comic book references and nerdy film jokes, which isn't a bad thing at all unless you absolutely hate films such as Star Wars ( but if you do I don't want you on my blog anymore... go on ... GO!). If i had to "Schalgg" this film off in anyway it would probably be the dragged out slightly stupid ending, however this is expected and you easily learn to live with it.

In my opinion this would of been an insanely better film if the horror/comedy genre was used like in Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. Make the alien/s realistic and horrifying and get them to eat people or something. Of course the whole story would need changing and the film re-naming which would be a shame (unhappy face), so its probably in your interest to completely ignore this confusing opinionated paragraph.

At the end of the Day...
+ If you like Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead you will love this (same humour)
+ Excellent cast
+ Full of laugh out loud moments
+ Comic book and film references
+ Strong story
- Slightly dragged out stupid ending
- Some silly moments
