Dragoon Film Recommendations: Hot Fuzz

I don't think I have ever laughed harder in any movie than I did in Hot Fuzz. There are so many small moments among the fast paced editing that makes repeat viewings a lot of fun and almost necessary.

Movie News: Edgar Wright's New Movie Gets Greenlight

This is news that I've been anxiously waiting for for a long time! It looks like Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) are all teaming up again for a new movie called The World's End. Here's a description of of the movie from IMDB.

20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World's End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The World's End is the least of their worries.

I think this is a movie to look forward to!
