Watched a couple of movies these days:
I’m a huge fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost since Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz… and this one didn’t disappoint… Initially I was expecting an ET-like movie (with swearing, I admit), but I couldn’t be further from the truth… It was loads of fun, with lots of awesome characters (stereotypical, but very well played!).
The story is about two British nerds that go to Comic-Con and decide to tour the US’ UFO hotspots. On their travel, they find a real alien and agree to help him escape the government and get back to his homeworld… But Paul isn’t exactly the typical alien (he’s more of the pot-smoking variety… ), and Simon and Nick’s characters aren’t rocket scientists… so, mayhem ensues, blah blah blah…
Definitely worth a watch! 9/10
Based on a story by Philip K. Dick (one of the greatest science fiction authors of all times!), this is a movie with a nice premise, but somewhere along the way something got lost…
This is the story of a impulsive senatorial candidate and a dancer that feel they should be together and a secret organization of non-humans called “The Adjustment Bureau” that thinks they being together is against the “Plan” they have to enforce… Normal romantic plot mixed with some scy-fi, which is kind of cool, but the plot seems unfocused and same-y… Good movie for those lazy Sunday afternoons… 7/10
