Who knew the British could make a violent action-adventure buddy movie? And then make it satirical and funny? But then, no one does satire like the Brits.
It was awesome. Mad Madam M insisted that I go see Hot Fuzz, and let me tell you, it was well worth the price of admission.
I dragged my library partner in crime, the Persnickety Hooch, with me to the film and I think we both cracked up the whole way through. I loved the inside joke references to the last film by these two actor, Shaun of the Dead. Plus, the shots of Bad Boys II and Point Break were so gratuitous and lame that they were awesome. The gore was also so gratuitous as to be funny. Which is the same lovely feature one found in Shaun of the Dead (zombies take over the world and kill everyone–very yuck)
Also, there were some notable cameos by Peter Jackson, Cate Blanchett, and Bill Nye (I don’t promise any of these are spelled correctly).
Highly recommend this film. Take your suspension of reality with you, but it’s so worth it!

I’m still waiting on the pictures! Sigh. . .
This movie does sound like a hoot. . .but I’ll probably wait for the DVD. . .

I canceled Hump Day Hotties this week. I’m still adjusting to WordPress and the pictures and WP did not get along. Next week, for sure.

Sadly, movies like that don’t make it to The Back of Beyond — I’ve never even heard of it. But I’m glad you liked it. :D
