ScreenJabber:
In a world where perfectly good foreign-language movies are shoved through the Hollywood mangle just for the benefit of people who can’t cope with subtitles (or subplots, or subtlety), it’s reassuring to know that the likes of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are out there gleefully making the kind of films that sing loud, glorious hymns to the gods of geekdom – in the best way. Paul is to aliens as Shaun Of The Dead was to zombies (see also, Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Nintendo). It’s the story of two sci-fi fans, Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost), who meet a real alien, Paul (the voice of Rogen). After attending the annual Comic-Con in San Diego, illustrator Graeme and writer Clive set off on a road trip around America’s most notorious UFO sites, planning to end up in – where else – Roswell.
Does the ultra-violent new movie, Boy Kills World, glorify violence or encourage a world without it? We see the latter.

I absolutely can not wait to see this one. I love Frost/Pegg together. I'd say this is my most anticipated comedy of the year. Even more so than Hangover 2. Glad to see it's getting good reviews.
