"Last Stop for Paul," a movie that opens Friday in some L.A. theaters, is proof that it's never too late for a jaunt around the world, even if you're dead and especially if you have willing friends. But that's not all a traveler will find engaging in this indie film, made by and starring Neil Mandt and Marc Carter.

Made without a script or crew, the movie is about traveling on a really tight budget. The characters (carrying Paul's ashes) visit more than 20 countries in a month, including Thailand, Jamaica, Egypt and Russia, and meet interesting characters along the way. And, after all, isn't that what travel's all about? Info: www.laststopforpaul.com.
