Midweek DVD – Hot Fuzz

By Malcolm Owen | Jun 26, 2007

Ok, 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. [...]

Midweek DVD – Team America: World Police

By Malcolm Owen | May 30, 2007
