Midweek DVD – Hot Fuzz
Comments OffOk, I admit, I didn’t have too much hope for this film when I first heard about it. I thought that being the second film for the team behind Shaun of the Dead, they would have to live up to the standard their previous film had set, and that would be extremely difficult to do. [...]
