What it Would REALLY Be Like to Meet an Alien!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2015
Graeme and Clive, two English nerds, travel to L.A. for Comic-Con in an R.V. Tootling down a deserted desert highway at night, a big Men-in-Black sedan passes them at high speed. All of a sudden, the car starts swerving, then shoots off the road to roll over in a spectacular crash. Our heroes stop to see if there are any survivors. Turns out there was only a driver in the car and he made it out OK. Turns out, also, that he is a little green man. Well, grayish-green. The eponymous Paul has escaped Area 51 and needs help getting back to where he can be picked up to go back home. After they get over the initial shock, Graeme and Clive are just the guys to help him. This turns into a rollicking good buddy movie, with chase scenes and a love interest and lots and lots of laughs.“Paul” was released in 2011. It is 104 minutes long, with the unrated version 109 minutes. It is rated R mostly because of the language, which is feisty to say the least. But this is a very funny movie. Not quite as funny as “Shaun of the Dead” (2004), but it is up there. Simon Pegg (Graeme) and Nick Frost (Clive) work so well together, and you just LIKE these guys - even if Clive is annoying. Seth Rogan does a great job as the voice of Paul and the supporting actors are very good.I have the combination set, with BluRay and DVD discs. You can listen to the movie in English, Spanish, French, or Descriptive Video Service. Subtitles are also available in English SDH, Spanish and French.The BluRay disc has its own Bonus Features:A. “Between the Lightning Strikes: The Making of Paul”B. Behind the scenes featurettesI haven’t seen these.On the DVD disc, you get a Commentary Track and 6 other bonus feaures:A. Commentary Track with Greg Mottola (director), Simon Pegg (plays Graeme), Nick Frost (plays Clive), Paul Hader (plays Agent Haggard) and Nira Park (producer). When Paul is first shown, on that night in the desert, a commentator exclaims, “Look at his eyes. They’re amazing!” And Mottola says, “They did an incredible job. It took a good 7 months to get his eyes right.”In case you were wondering, The Big Guy’s office was filmed in a parking garage! And, yes, that really is Steven Spielberg’s voice on the speaker phone.B. Bloopers (11 minutes) In particular, there were a lot of retakes when they had trouble keeping a straight face while listing Shadowchild’s books – and no wonder.C. “The Evolution of Paul” (54 minutes) Commentators include Greg Mottola, David Lowry (lead animator), Judy Johnson (visual effects supervisor), Anders JJ Beer (animation supervisor), Scott Holmes (lead animator), Eamon Butler (head of animation), Jason Horschaft (animator), Hal Couzens (visual effects producer) and Julian Foddy (CG supervisor). This special covers the creation of the animated Paul.Mottola says, “Trying to direct an animated character is, feels kind of like giving an actor direction via twitter from the other side of the globe. You tell them something and then three months later you find out what it looks like.”D. “Simon’s Silly Faces” (2 minutes)E. “Who the Hell is Adam Shadowchild?” (3 minutes)F. Galleries. Many many shots of rehearsal photos, storyboards, posters and others.Happy Reader
