The British "Bad Boys"

Advantages: Good cast, good story, funny
Disadvantages: May not appeal to everyone.

...rental list on Lovefilm was Hot Fuzz. This was one of my husband's choices so I sat down not knowing what to expect at all. I thought by the name it was some American action film however I was surprised to find that it was in fact a British comedy. It is made by the same people who made "Shaun of the Dead" although I can't really compare the two as I haven't seen that film. The main character in the film is Simon Pegg who plays Nicholas Angel a successful ...
...work start to make the rest of the police force look bad so they transfer him up to the sleepy village of Sandford. Angel immediately gets the villagers backs up by emptying the pub of all the underage drinkers (and so losing the pub owner a lot of custom) and then ends up arresting a fellow police officer for drunk driving! As Angel begins work in the village he discovers that there are quite a lot of mysterious goings on and a bit too many so called ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

Unmissable!

Advantages: The funniest 2 films I have seen for a long time - quite possibly ever!
Disadvantages: erm..... good question!

...and save the day! Hot Fuzz has Pegg as the ultimate beat bobby, sergeant Nicholas Angel, the jewel in the crown of the metropolitan police. When Angel becomes so good he embarrasses the rest of the met, however, he is sent to police the quiet, sleepy village of Sandford, where he reuniteds with Shaun of the Dead's Ed, this time Angel's witless partner, constable Danny Butterman, who dreams of high-octane car chases and explosive, gunslinging action. ...
...absolutely hilarious. When I saw Hot Fuzz at the cinema, the entire audience laughed almost continuously! The side-splitting humour never stops but as well as this, both films have a proper plot, action, character development, emotion and everything that goes into a good film. By no means is either simply a slapstick comedy. Very, very highly reccommended! ...

Review of 2012

2012

Advantages: Great graphics, good story
Disadvantages: Unbelieveable

...I really liked the film 2012. I found it extremely unbelieveable but if you can suspend your thought process and just enjoy it for the on screen spectacular that it is then you will like this film too. There were times throughout the movie when I literally turned to my husband and said, "No way, that is just not possible, that would never happen, they should have died 2 hours ago, etc, etc but the great part about this film was that it kept my attention ...
...cause world destruction in about 2012 by causing massive tsunami's as well as all the plates around the world moving and bumping into each other causing earthquakes. I think the thing I actually found scary about this plot is that maybe it's not too far from the truth and could actually happen to the world unlike other films that have aliens destroying the earth etc. Adrian takes this information to the President of the United States, played by Danny ...

Review of 2012

APOCALYPSE? RIGHT NOW!!!

Advantages: great performances, fantastic special effects, thought provoking at times
Disadvantages: a little bit too long

...will end in the year 2012. Yet another thing I didn't know about until I first heard about the film's release. So it is loosely based on a theory that is already out there. Eek. But this theory has now gone all Hollywood. Which means tons of special effect,s billions of deaths, some laughter, some tears, and a bit of an underlying moral dilemma for one to ponder over, should you choose to . . . The story begins when Doctor Adrian Helmsley's friend ...
...Mayan's predicted, in the year 2012. Unfortunately, it begins to happen far sooner than planned. Earthquakes start to rip the earth apart, the Caldera supervolcano in Yellowstone erupts, and huge numbers of people perish at once. Our hero, Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), writer/limo driver and father of two, has a bit more warning than most. He meets insane radical Charlie (Woody Harrellson) while taking his kids on a camping trip to Yellowstone (yes, ...
