'Hot Fuzz' is one of my favourite British comedy movies - I had seen it before and this time around, I was introducing it to a friend. The best thing about the movie for me, apart from its homage to numerous actions movies, is the lead-combo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - the are one of my all-time favourite comic duos. 

Hot Fuzz takes us through the experience of a valiant, exemplary cop from London who gets transferred to a sleepy village in rural Britain, and the surprises that await him there. Got to laugh a lot watching the movie and I'm sure I'll watch it again.

Edgar Wright's movies have a fast paced treatment which gives it the seriousness of a thriller and at the same time thoroughly enjoyable and invokes laughter all over. The Corenetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End) follows this style and 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' is no different in pace, even though the latter is in a different league of absurdity altogether. Edgar Wright's partial involvement in 'Ant-Man' is what gave it the fun flavour, I believe. Mr. Wright, make more fun movies for us. Thank You.
