Fictional Places You Don’t Want To Visit (205 movies items)

"Sandford, England The setting is the fictitious town of 'Sandford' – the all-purpose place name used in UK police training exercises. Which itself is England's smallest city, Wells in Somerset, at the foot of the Mendip Hills in the West of England, about four miles from Glastonbury. Why you wouldn’t want to visit: The villagers want to keep things safe, and crime free.... “For the greater good.”"

A daring and enjoyable comedy starring Simon Pegg

“I will admit to you, the film does start off slowly, and the finale is very over the top. Plus the murders are unashamedly brutal. But Hot Fuzz is a hugely enjoyable, original and daring comedy. It is fast-paced fun from start to finish.

My Top 85 Favorite 2nd Chapter Sequels (85 movies items)

"A film by the comedy team of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the same duo responsible for what is, for my money, the best zom-com ever, Shaun Of The Dead. This time, they take on the world of the buddy-cop genre.Hot Fuzz never really reaches as high a level of humor, humanity, wit as Shaun, nor is it as genre groundbreaking,but when all is said and done, there was enough of the typical high balance of comedy and chemistry between the two "Bad Boys" to make this action comedy a commendable effort.I he"
