Summer is winding down and the best way to end the season is with a good movie. The best movie release of Summer 2012 is Universal Picture’s masterpiece Paranorman. This movie has appeal for all ages. It is utterly flawless.

It has a great voice cast, to mention a few Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In), Anna Kendrick (Twilight), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad). Paranorman takes the audience to Blithe Hollow where Norman can speak to the dead and no one believes him.

Mix in a strange new friend and an evil witches curse and you have a killer story line. The film is fast paced and will keep your attention as Norman tries to solve a crisis to save his town.

The film has references to other horror classics including Halloween and Friday The 13^th. The clay-animated graphics are the best Universal has produced to date.

This movie is a must see. Horror buffs, animation lovers and all other walks of life will not be disappointed.
