Hot Fuzz
and here's another oldie with Simon Pegg that many may have forgotten about:

A brief history of my January viewings
Monday, February 19, 2007
Match Point - a very different Woody Allen film. So very very tense, the perfect thriller?
3-Iron - A quiet and alluring love story, astounding work by Kim Ki-duk.
Oldboy - Another Korean film. I've been meaning to watch this for 6 months now. Having seen this I must now seek out the rest of Chan-wook Park's vengeance trilogy.
Lady in the Water - An interesting fairy tale but nothing to match Pan's Labyrinth. I also spent the whole movie trying to work out the twist.
Le Ballon Rouge - a short and sweet french film.
Ong Bak - A fun filled action packed romp (or just another OTT kung fu flick, though at least better than most - but they did make sure to show all the good bits twice... every big jump was shown from ten different angles).
Wait Until Dark - Another top thriller, although Hepburn's portrayal of a blind house wife isn't entirely convincing. This trailer is horrific.
Renaissance - The supermodel of movies - beauty without brains.
Miami Vice - Terrible.
Adrift - Terrible.
Frack that.

Godard's Week End
Monday, February 05, 2007
That movie found in the trash, the tag line, "A supposedly idyllic weekend trip to the countryside turns into a never-ending nightmare of traffic jams." really says nothing. This is categorically the most weird, perplexing and interesting film I have recently seen. Whilst I understand some moments my lack of knowledge of the era, politics and movie history leaves me lost in the subtleties and the brilliance, that many reviewers claim, is beyond me. I would love it if a kind sole could point me in the direction of a good analysis or some background information. The above video is a 10 minute clip from the movie.
