Hot Fuzz

If there's anything that's going to get me into a cinema this year it's this film.

If anyone sees it soon after the release next week could they post a review/rating out ten please?

Check out the trailer... it looks very funny.

Sorry Rich for making the first reply slightly off topic, but when I saw your thread title I thought of that girl band from the 80's - remember Fuzz Box? :lol:

are you allowed to promote porn films on here?

:wink:

(it just sounds a bit like a porno that's all)

I think that's the point of the film title... :wink:

A fuzzbox is a guitar effects pedal, I believe.

And the band was called We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Going To Use It before renaming to Fuzzbox and having a hit single based on Thunderbirds (the children's televsion show, not the peach wine). They were labelmates of The Nightingales and Ted Chippington on Birmingham-based Vindaloo records. I have their initial 12" release, which has an accapella version of Bohemian Rhapsody on it.

Bumped just in case anyone may have seen it... I'm thinking of going this weekend so I'll add a review here if I do.

I went to see it on Wednesday, and I was quite impressed. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, as there was an interesting storyline to go along with the jokes, and Simon Pegg plays a very different role to that he plays in Shaun of the Dead. It's a good film well worth seeing, with some good jokes. I'd give it 8/10

A mate saw it last night and was very impressed. Sounds like definitely worth a watch.

I saw them live. They all kept changing instruments. Multi-talented....

Got a couple of singles. I'm sure one had all the tracks on one side and just cartoons of their faces etched into the other side! (for the youth of teh forum I am referring to good ol' vinyl)

DixieDean · **Posted:** 28 Feb 2007, 11:28

Cheers chaps...

I'm going to try and see it over the weekend. Sounds like it's worth the trip!!!

The trailer just made me laugh out loud

Not sure when I'll get round to seeing it

If you liked Shaun of the dead you'll love this, personaly think it's better.
