Ever Fired Two Guns Whilst Jumping Through the Air?

For the first time in my life, I actually have a desire to see Point Break. That's how good Hot Fuzz is. It is nearly completely awesome.

I say "nearly" because Shaun of the Dead is slightly better, but then again, how do you top perfection + zombies? You can't, especially if you don't have zombies. Fuzz takes more time to get started and some of the references just blew past my head (not being much of an action movie fan). Once the film kicks into gear, though, it really kicks in.

It's not really a heavily jokey movie, but then neither was Shaun. As in their previous film, co-writers Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg rely heavily on minor comic bits that later take on plot or character significance later in the film. It's this everything's-connected attitude that allows their over-the-top sensibility to run rampant while keeping the audience invested in the characters. It's brilliant and it's only in Britain, people.

Go. See movie. Love movie.
