With Shaun of the Dead, the Edgar Wright-Simon Pegg team created a wonderfully funny fantasy that was universally loved. The big question was, could they follow it up with another hit? And the answer is: of course they can. Hot Fuzz is extremely witty and action packed, and although it may not be quite as high as Shaun of the Dead in the realms of action-comedy, it is certainly not far off.
This time around Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, the antithesis of Shaun; a London policeman that is so good at his job it makes everyone else look bad. Because of this, his superiors decide to relocate him to the village of Sandford in Somerset. There he meets the bumbling but well-meaning Danny (Frost), and after a series of accidents, soon begins to suspect that the village is hiding something.
As always, the humour is in the writing instead of just in visual gags and, like Shaun, it is very well written. However, the buck has passed from Simon Pegg onto Nicholas Frost this is because Angel is such a serious, straight-faced guy that the humour relies on other people to play off him, rather than let him be part of it. But Frost succeeds admirably, proving himself as a vital member of the creative trio. Danny is naïve but constantly trying to prove himself, his good nature often conflicting with Angel; he is always asking about the city life: "Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?" he asks. "No" deadpans Angel. "Have you ever fired one gun whilst jumping through the air?" As such, Pegg has little to do other than be the butt of the jokes but, like any good buddy film, he lightens up soon enough to get back to the Pegg we all recognise.
The action scenes are well handled in the capable hands of Edgar Wright, but they do lack the sophistication of the best action films that really make you want to be there shooting the hell out of stuff along side the good guys. Also, when the action kicks in towards the end, the comedy gets sidelined, the laughter stemming from the extremes of action violence rather than the clever writing, and this makes the tone feel slightly uneven, the film unable to balance all its elements as effectively as we would hope.
Still, the reason why Hot Fuzz is so much better than most other parodies/homages is because it doesn't need to drill in any aspect of its references. Whilst it openly refers to action film such as Bad Boys II and Point Break (Danny shows these films to Angel during the film), the cleverness results in not heavy-handedly referencing its sources, instead making them a more subtle 'guess-the-movie' style of parody (notice the Tony Scott editing style during the processing of arresting youths, for example).
Some fine cameos from some of our best comedians and TV stars, along with a great pantomime performance from Timothy Dalton as the obvious bad guy, adds to the mix with great charm, and along with some great set pieces will ensure that Hot Fuzz, although not quite as creative as Shaun of the Dead, will still become one of the finest comedies of recent times.

The latest effort from Marvel and Daredevil director Mark Steven Johnson is a loud and messy film that, whilst it has some merit, has too many flaws that weigh it down. Nicholas Cage plays Johnny Storm, a stunt rider who, as a child, makes a deal with the devil (Fonda) to save his father's life. Later on in life he must uphold his end of the deal he must become the next Ghost Rider, acting as the devil's bounty hunter to rid the world of Blackheart, the devil's son, who has just returned to take over the world.
Cage is clearly enjoying himself as the oddball Storm laughing at chimpanzee kung-fu and drinking jelly beans from a cocktail glass is his natural way of life as he should be given he is a life-long fan of the comic book this is based on. However, the other cast members don't quite fit in: Peter Fonda and Sam Elliott (as a graveyard caretaker who acts as a mentor to Storm) both seem to be acting in a far more serious film; Eva Mendes is obligingly cute but does nothing other than pose as background scenery as Storm's childhood girlfriend; Donal Logue provides comical side-kick responsibilities in the same way that Jon Favreau did for Daredevil; and Wes Bentley brings as much menace to the film as an Andrex puppy.
In fact, the villains are all non-threatening and highly non-entertaining. When they are on screen the film stalls, and given that Blackheart is the reason for the Ghost Rider's existence that means the film stalls too often. Blackheart just comes across as camp, whilst his potentially cool and evil henchmen merely provide more imaginative ways to die. The films best bits don't involve the villains Ghost Rider outrunning the entire Boston police force on his flamed-out motorbike is a highlight and when Cage gets to be cut loose the film picks up. Also on the plus side, the effect of Ghost Rider, with his flaming skull, looks amazing, and the effects of CGI flames have been pushed to a new level. Sadly though, the rest of the effects are lacking and, come the finale, are reaching into Van Helsing territory too many effects that are not developed enough to convince. Storm's transformation in the Ghost Rider is meant to emulate the pain from An American Werewolf in London, and the first transformation does, but after that Storm changes instantly and without any effect on him; we are not given the rules that define the Ghost Rider's world, and a lack of consistency is clearly noticeable.
Designed to be simple popcorn entertainment, Ghost Rider simply isn't as much fun as it should be. It has too many elements that quite simply do not work, making it a loud noise of a film that does not belong with other Marvel films of far superior quality.

Jason Statham is fast becoming the new king of B-movie action films; the two Transporter films, Cellular, and now this, easily the best of the lot. Whereas The Transporter and its sequel were daft and tried to be serious, Crank relishes in its own preposterousness. And how could such a film actually be taken seriously? One look at the synopsis and you instinctively know that this is another popcorn flick. But it's a bloody one good at that.
Infected by a synthetic Chinese poison, awesomely named hit-man Chev Chelios must kill those responsible before the poison kills him. In order to slow the effects of the poison down, he must keep his adrenaline pumping, increasing his heart rate; slow down, and he dies. Thus begins the virtually non-stop action that keeps going right up until the end credits. Indeed, the film and its plot are intrinsically linked just like Chelios slowing down will result in his death, the film itself would surely die if it were to slow down. We would start seeing plot holes, acting shortcomings, and start questioning all the crazy action sequences.
Then again, that's entirely the point. The film doesn't slow down, and the audience simply doesn't have the time to read into things too deeply before the film moves on and such moments are gone and we're not supposed to question it, because that's exactly what makes the film so entertaining to watch. Switch off your brain and the chances are you'll enjoy this more than most popcorn films of recent times.
You know you are watching a popcorn flick when its protagonist spends twenty minutes running around the city in a hospital gown with a giant erection, before taunting a motorcycle cop and stealing his bike which he proceeds to ride by standing on the saddle with his arms outstretched. The lengths to which Chelios will go to keep his adrenalin pumping is where the film is at its funniest, and most inspirational. Robbing a store and clearing out all the Red Bulls, defibrillating himself, and having sex with his girlfriend in the middle of Chinatown are just some of the examples and there are plenty more.
Jason Statham is perfect for the role of Chelios he can certainly handle all the physical stuff the film throws at him, and he's just the right kind of person for the role, just going with it like a more 'serious' actor wouldn't. The rest of the cast are functional, but to analyse the acting and script is purely pointless. It's the action that Crank thrives on, and the fact that it embraces its ideas and does not chicken out half way through works to its credit.
First time directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor throw in some nifty effects and camera-work, though sometimes the editing can be a little too much. The humour is a perfect counterbalance to the brutal action, both taking the extreme route to audience pleasing. It doesn't pause to take breath, and neither will the audience. It's not long, so get the adrenaline rush while you can.
