Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz is a creative comedy. From the folks who brought us Shaun of the Dead (best zombie movie parody, ever) we now have a cop movie parody that is off-the-hook funny! Simon Pegg is pitch perfect as Nicholas Angel, super cop in London. He is transferred to a rural town that is not as perfect as it appears. Laugh out loud funny, with every cop movie cliche a target. Fantastic editing creates a pace that just runs the gauntlet of comedy. Oh yeah, and when the promo says "Big cops. Small town. Moderate violence" keep in mind, the violence involves spewing blood, lots of bang-bang-shoot-em-ups and one real ewwwww moment at the end. A fun romp as only the Brits can do.

Enforcers in DVD

Traveling to an out of town wedding this weekend left me no time for movies, thus no new films to comment on. The wedding was a blast, all the best to Laura and Elliot!!! (Elliot's Mom is one of my movie buds, the Boston navigator) . So .... it's all about DVD releases this week!

Hot Fuzz is a cheeky cop movie satire from the Brits. Laugh-out-loud funny, this film was fun for me.

300 has the head dogs of Sparta (480 BC) fighting the Persians with all they've got. The bodies pile up and the visuals are amazing.

Lonely Hearts has 2 detectives chasing 2 serial killers. This well acted story, based on true events (told by the grandson of one of the detectives), makes for a good historical crime thriller.

*warning* use of blood and violence is rampant in all of these films ...
