Movie reviews: hot fuzz; miss potter

Not much to report other than damage to the liver recently.

Hot Fuzz: from the team who brought you Spaced and Shaun of the Dead (my favourite sitcom and romcomzom respectively) so expectations were high. And generally met. The pacing after the first 10mins seemed a bit slow, but it was still very very funny. And there were guns. Lots of guns. And explosions. And comedy. So yup great movie! The directing is getting a bit tired tho' as the same shots/cuts have been used since Spaced.
Miss Potter: It could have been worse. I think Renee Zellwegggeeeerrrrerer is a blight on movie screens. Ewan slept walked, and Emily Watson was lovely. Story was stretched and predictable, but the scenery (lake district) was great. It's not a bad movie, it's just a movie by numbers. Take a chick, you might get lucky.

B xx
