Buzzed about the Fuzz

So, last night, thanks to certain enablers of addiction, I was able to attend the New Zealand premiere of the new film Hot Fuzz. (Remember Simon Pegg? Nick Frost? Ed Wright? Shaun of the Dead?) Basic premise: superhot cop is sent to sleepy town, and discovers "accidents"...

One word: Fan-freaking-tastic! This movie easily lives up to the style of their previous work, lots of comedy, lots of action, lots of moments everyone applauded! (And, yes, we applauded the Santa Claus moment. :) )

And tons of guests stars. One problem with informed movie watching is that one tends not to see the characters but the stars. And what stars! Jim Broadbent. Edward Woodward. Timothy Dalton (how could they do that to him?). And, obviously making up for his lack in Shaun of the Dead, lots of Bill Bailey!

The rest of you won't have the chance to see this movie until Thursday, but get your tickets now! (And I will admit that seeing at the Embassy was a great experience, although the volume could have been a touch lower...)
