The Last of the Blonde Bombshells -- A woman tries to reunite the swing band she played with during WWII.

Hot Fuzz is the action-packed new comedy from the makers of the hit movie Shaun of the Dead. With the same razor-sharp combination of humor and attention to detail they used to breathe new life into the undead, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have set their sights on Action Movies for their next uniquely funny vision. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing -- the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life 'bad boy,' and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny's puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel's growing frustration. However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality. It's time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.

Three-minute trailer that features an intro from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

International trailer for Shaun of the Dead. Edgar Wright's horror-comedy film, Shaun of the Dead, follows the title character (Simon Pegg) through his mundane life in London. Joined by his immature and ever-present roommate, Ed (Nick Frost), Shaun excels at nothing except drinking pints of ale and watching television, which causes friction with his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield). Before Shaun can save his relationship, however, he's got to fend off a horde of zombies that are slowly taking over the city. Armed with a cricket bat and a vague sense of direction, Shaun must rescue his friends and loved ones, and bring them to the only safe place he can think of--the pub. Cowritten by Wright and Pegg, Shaun of the Dead succeeds remarkably well at combining droll British humor with good, old-fashioned zombie cinema. While the movie is often hilariously amusing, it takes its horror pedigree seriously, offering up moments of genuine suspense, and even a healthy dose of gore. Pegg is oddly charming as the put-upon lead slacker, and Frost is appropriately oafish, but the living dead themselves also take up a fair amount of screen time, shuffling and limping in their best Romero form. For lovers of zombie films, Shaun of the Dead is an instant cult classic.

(Ed. Note: Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies. That being said, here is this post.) Life has been incredibly difficult for Michael Cera. (Cue Guinness Book of World Record winner for Longest Record Needle Scratch WTF Sound. ) Of course, we jest. Life has been nothing but smooth for the former child actor current hipster phenom known as Michael Cera. Michael Cera is like the Michael Phelps of hopeless indie losers who get the girl: He was physically and mentally born for the part. But let it be known: We ve had just about enough of Michael Cera. We, in this case, I think means the world? Shaun of the Dead and frequent Simon Pegg collaborator Edgar Wright apparently hasn t gotten the memo, because he cast Michael Cera to play Michael Cera in his upcoming movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Michael Cera plays Michael Cera in a story about Michael Cera fighting a group of Non-Michael-Cera s. Speficially, the ex-boyfriend s of Michael Cera s new Lady-Cera. Too many Michael Cera s, you say? We Michael Cera-t you mean. (Brilliant.) Here is the trailer. And now we ask: How many more Michael Cera playing Michael Cera movies do you, the paying audience, wish to see made? We re a major player in the Hollywood blog circuit, so your answer really counts.
