Hot Fuzz

I have to say, and I can't say I have said this in awhile, this would have to be right at the top of my favourite movies of all time. This has everything. Comedy, horror, action, drama, even an almost romance. I haven't laughed like this in awhile. It is a spoof movie as well so it is a bot of a take off from things like bad boys, point break, matrix. It is really well written and executed. The only slight down fall was the blood and guts. The death scenes are pretty gruesome and if you have weak stomach I suggest closing your eyes. You can usually tell when it is coming. I walked out of this movie felling like I had seen something new that wasn't just the formulaic crap that Hollywood is adept at turning out.
This is a British film about a cop who is too good in London and is sent to a little country town very out of the way. Though it turns out the town has a secret that the new cop wants to understand. It is a great escape movie without needing to think a whole lot. The person you think it is isn't necessarily the bad guy, though Timothy Dalton is pure evil in this movie. There are a lot of big names in theis movie. I give this movie a 9 out of 10. Mostly because I am yet to see a movie that is my absolute favourite.
Hot FUzz highly recommended.
