Movie Reviews!

I'm bored at work and am sick of sorting and scanning, so I figured that I'd take a little break and update my blog...for the second time today. I know that this small rash of updates will be short lived.

Anyway, it came to mind that since I'm such a fan of film as well as travel, that I should blog my meaningless opinions on ones I've seen recently. So here goes!

Hot Fuzz:

I unfortunately did not get to see this in theatres, but rented it the weekend before it was released on DVD (perk of working at a rental store).
I found it hysterical. The boys of Shaun of the Dead delivered grade A humor again. The story was strangely twisted and included some gratuitous gore that I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't think that the humor was quite as clever as it was in Shaun of the Dead, but I shouldn't continue comparing every bit of the two. Certain lines such as "Yarp! Yarp! Naaarp?" keep sticking in my head and are causing fits of giggles a week later. All of the actors were grand at making their characters creepily pleasant and as promised, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have great comedic chemistry. If I were to give films grades, which I think I'll do from now on, I'd say Hot Fuzz gets an A-.
