Hot Fuzz

Finally saw this ode to cop/action films on DVD. Very funny and oh so stylishly done. When the film started out with cameos from Martin Freeman, Steve Coogan, Bill Nighy, and Cate Blanchett I realized I was in for a treat and it just kept getting better and better as more terrific actors were revealed. Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Billie Whitelaw, Paul Freeman, Kenneth Cranham, Stuart Wilson, Edward Woodward, David Threlfall. Fun, fun, fun! Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have put together a highly entertaining film which actually makes watching those other overblown action films much more entertaining. Loved watching Pegg and Nick Frost work off of each other as their characters discover and become their own inner action heroes. I am totally glossing over all the great themes and odes to other films that Pegg and Wright draw off of but that's what the DVD commentaries (all 5 of them) are for. Buy this film and have fun discovering the secrets of the village of Sanford. Now I need to get off my butt and get a copy of Shaun of the Dead.
Memorable moment: Paperwork action montages.
