Weekly DVD Pick - Hot Fuzz

Hot FuzzI was a bit torn this week between two movies, 300 and Hot Fuzz and then I remembered just how much I laughed with and enjoyed Hot Fuzz. I originally called Hot Fuzz a parody of the buddy cop action flick and the more I think about it I want to change that. I don’t really see it as a parody any more. It is more of a humourous entry into the genre. It truly pays homage more than it really parodies them and it is just as good of a buddy cop action movie as it is a comedy.

In addition to the regular Pegg and Frost of Wright’s movies we have the addition of several true British Actors and it really pays off. I cared what happened to these character and was completely drawn in while I laughed my self silly. If you are a fan of Shawn of the Dead you really need to check Hot Fuzz out and if you aren’t you really still should.

Our Partners

Row Three is a collaborative film website that aims to foster discussion and community for those who like their cinema a bit Hollywood, a bit indie and a bit foreign. Formed and run by a collective of writers who try to stray from summer blockbusters and the so-called "popcorn" flicks in favor of a bit more upscale fare. We are not always successful in this endeavor; nonetheless we all love to talk movies and we hope to build a place for everyone to join in on the conversation.
