Hot Fuzz
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright (all from "Shaun of the Dead") return to the big screen in this terrific send up of Bruckheimer and buddy/cop films. The movie pays tribute to “Point Break”, “Bad Boys II”, and Agatha Christie. Overachieving supercop Nicholas Angel is sent to the quiet suburbs because he is just making his fellow officers look bad. But all is not right to be in the seemingly crime-free village of Sandford, for its town folks appear to have a lot of "accidents". It is a marvelous comedic team with Pegg playing the straight man and Frost playing the buffoon. Not only is it very funny, but there are some good action sequences too.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “lock and loaded for fun” stars out of 4.
