Plot Summary:
|
Sgt. Nicholas Angel is lately to the perfect copper: fair, reliable, and dedicated to public duty. The only problem is that he is too A-OK. He arrest record is so good that he is making everybody under the sun else look cross so he suddenly finds himself transferred to the lovely village of Sandford. There he not only finds that the police force is less than pattern, but that there is in fact very petty policing to do. The odd drunk and a occasional lads with a can of spray paint are close by all there is to worry about. He becomes friendly with Constable Danny Butterman, who fitting happens ... to be the position chief's son. Suddenly to whatever manner, there is a precipitate of murders that leads him to believe there is a massive connivance to suppress the village fully and retiring.

The Wicker Man crossed with Die Hard
I've just got home from seeing an advance preview of the 'eagerly awaited film 'Hot Fuzz'. I've been waiting to see this film ever since I first watched 'Shaun of the Dead', and whilst reading a film magazine in the foyer, I read an article saying they would be making the ultimate English action movie next.
Well... did they? Not 'arf!!!
Its no hidden secret, but I am a Simon Pegg groupie! I think he is a genius. Along side the talents of Edgar Wright and Nick Frost... this team can do no wrong. Having brought to us the unbeatably funny TV Sitcom 'Spaced', and the hilarious and cult hit 'Shaun of the Dead', these guys are just the dogs!
'Hot Fuzz' is about a super city cop (Simon Pegg as Nick Angel), who gets promo...
Funny!
I'm not actually a fan of Shaun of the Dead, I just didn't find it that funny, but this really made me laugh and I recommend it to all.
Simon Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, the Met's top Police Officer, the best at everything. Only he's so good that he's making them look bad so they ship him off to the countryside to a little village in the middle of nowhere. He's still doing everything by the book, which means rounding up all the underage drinkers and glaring at hoodies. His sidekick is Danny, obsessed with Bad Boys II and Point Break, he wants to shoot things while jumping through the air. All goes along nicely until the grisly 'accidents' that keep occurring. Angel thinks they could be linked but no one believes him. Can he crack the case?
This ...
Hot Fuzz
Derek ElleyA by-the-book top cop and his bozo sidekick uncover murder and mayhem in a picturesque English village in Hot Fuzz, a straight-faced British spoof of everything from Yank crimers and slasher pics to Agatha Christie whodunits and homoerotic U.S. buddy movies. Third theatrical feature by young English helmer Edgar Wright, teaming again with Shaun of the Dead actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, comes up with a sustained genre parody that's equally funny but (maybe in deference to the genre) much more pumped up.
Pic opened huge in Blighty, taking $11.5 million in its first five days, with no signs of running out of gas. Limited U.S. release is set for Apr. 20 via Rogue Pictures.
Aside from Pegg (again co-scripting) and Frost, his colleagues on the cult ...
