Review Criterion - The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence. - Not quite an immortal film, yet a masterpiece in its own right. - Historically important film, considered a classic. - Borderline viewable. - A gangrenous and festering pustule in the chronicles of celluloid.

Year: 2011 Director: Greg Mottola Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jason Bateman Overview: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite as sci-fi geeks taking a pilgrimage to America's UFO heartland. There they meet a smart-ass alien, Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), who takes them on an insane road trip. As they struggle to return Paul home, the little green man might just take the outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes. From the director of Superbad, Greg Mottola, with a stellar supporting cast including Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Joe Lo Truglio Sigourney Weaver, PAUL is a must-own comedy adventure not to be missed! Watched: 10th Jun 2011 My Thoughts: A fun, enjoyable comedy. As to be expected there were loads of references to other sci-fi films, I know I got some but probably missed quite a few as well. The best one for me was the classic line spoken by Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) from Aliens - "Get away from her you bitch!" - used in this film against The Big Guy (Sigourney Weaver). My Rating: A very enjoyable 4 (From Dave's DVD/Blu-ray Reviews on June 18th, 2011) Tom's Random Reviews, a review by TomTitle: Just Shoot Me!: Season Three Year: 1999 Director: Rating: PG Length: 551 Min.

Join Maya, Jack, Nina, Elliot and Finch for 25 side-splitting episodes of the Golden Globe nominated series. This witty ensemble comedy explorers the often turnultuous and always hysterical dynamic between five quirky staff members of a high fashion magazine. Available on digitally re-mastered DVD for the first time, the deadline, models, and hangovers are even more hilarious than you remember. Fuinny has never been so fashionable! Awards:
Extras: Scene Access My Thoughts: Although this is not a series which I think is a must-see, I enjoyed all the episodes I have seen so far. Too bad that the season sets aren't selling that well, as it seems. The first set (which included the first two seasons) was released almost five years before the second set with the third season was released. I hope I get the chance to watch further seasons. This season had an ending which made me curious about how it will play out.
