Hot Fuzz (UK, 2007)

From the makers of Shaun of the Dead, an over-the-top excellent London cop gets tranferred to a lazy country town, where mysterious accidents keep happening.

This one was lots of fun!

Fun Fact: Cate Blanchett plays Janine, Nicholas Angel's ex-girlfriend. Her face is covered by a mask the whole time she's on screen.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (UK, 1998)

A complicated, interconnected heist gone wrong & gone right at the same time. It reminded me of Snatch, also written & directed by Guy Ritchie, also starring Jason Statham. The accents are thick, so I had to listen hard. Even so I was thoroughly entertained.
