Description

Edgar says, "Watching my two films in other countries is always a trip. Both are weirdly very personal to me: the first being a love/hate letter to London, and in the second I gleefully tear up my very own home town. Clearly I have issues.

"I shall also be bringing an uncut version of DON'T, which features at least seven extra utterances of 'Don't!'"

Shaun of the Dead – 7:00 PM

Without a doubt the greatest Romantic Zombie Comedy of all time! Shaun of the Dead skillfully avoids the easy 'Lets make fun of those stupid zombie movies!' and relies instead on a solid dramatic backbone that just so happens to feature two no-direction slackers that are facing the end of the world. Every actor is on top form, the direction is energetic and creative, and the witty script penned by Pegg and Wright is a geek’s dream of structure and payoffs. Easily compared to such classics as ‘An American Werewolf in London’, Shaun of the Dead is a film that may not have redefined the Zombie genre, but did give it one of the most all-around great walking corpse films since the original ‘Dawn of the Dead’.

Hot Fuzz – 9:30 PM

A handwritten cinematic love letter (In sweat and manly tears) to every punch, spent shell-casing and massive skin ripping explosion the Hollywood Action genre has ever put up on screen. Director/Co-writer Edgar Wright and Star/Co-Writer Simon Pegg ramp up the style from their previous works to deliver a hyper real, laugh out loud classic that is packed with enough clever ideas and sequences to fill three Point Break sequels! Action movies were meant to be experienced on the big screen and that’s exactly the case for Hot Fuzz, an experience that isn’t successful until the final 40 minutes have your teeth rattling and your eyes open wide.
