I\u2019m a huge fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost since Shawn of the Dead<\/a> and Hot Fuzz<\/a>\u2026 and this one didn\u2019t disappoint\u2026 Initially I was expecting an ET-like movie (with swearing, I admit), but I couldn\u2019t be further from the truth\u2026 It was loads of fun, with lots of awesome characters (stereotypical, but very well played!). <\/p>\n

The story is about two British nerds that go to Comic-Con and decide to tour the US\u2019 UFO hotspots. On their travel, they find a real alien and agree to help him escape the government and get back to his homeworld\u2026 But Paul isn\u2019t exactly the typical alien (he\u2019s more of the pot-smoking variety\u2026 \"Smile\"), and Simon and Nick\u2019s characters aren\u2019t rocket scientists\u2026 so, mayhem ensues, blah blah blah\u2026 <\/p>\n

Definitely worth a watch! 9\/10<\/p>\n

\"The-Adjustment-Bureau-Horizontal-Poster-30-11-10-kc\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2026 <\/p>\n

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 \u201cThe Adjustment Bureau\u201d that thinks they being together is against the \u201cPlan\u201d they have to enforce\u2026 Normal romantic plot mixed with some scy-fi, which is kind of cool, but the plot seems unfocused and same-y\u2026 Good movie for those lazy Sunday afternoons\u2026 7\/10<\/p>\n
