hot fuzz

can't believe it took me so long to get around to watching hot fuzz, and now i'm totally wishing i'd seen it in theaters. 

from the same creative team as shaun of the dead, the hyper/extreme camera angles and sound effects for everyday, mundane actions seem to be put to much better use here.  simon pegg is amazing, especially when contrasted with his portrayal of shaun in their last film. 

loving the references to various action flicks and television cop dramas are fantastic.  also, the fact that the movie reads as both a love story as a buddy film — yeah, that works for me.  rockin' good time.
