The World's End is sheer brilliance!
||Posted .As usual, Edward Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, and the others deliver and do not disappoint. Totally my kind of film, to say the least. I do admit to being a huge fan of this team, but this final chapter of "The Cornetto Trilogy" is funny, exciting, and thought provoking. It's a must see. Masterful brilliance at it's best!

And the third flavor of Cornetto is... Mint?
||Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.So, for those in the know, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost have cobbled together a loose trilogy of films relating to three different flavors of Cornetto ice cream cones. Strawberry for the bloody Shaun of the Dead, regular blue for the police comedy Hot Fuzz, and mint chocolate chip for the sci-fi bent The World's End. Now that I got that out of the way, you should infer that this is the group's crack at sci-fi. Even though Simon Pegg moved along to Star Trek, this movie is still very much I their wheelhouse. After a failed suicide attempt, over the hill slacker Gary King has the epiphany that what he needs to get his life back on track is to gather his mates and finish the pub crawl they abandoned back in their youth. Meanwhile, his friends have all moved on to successful careers and families of their own. One of the big themes of the movie is the old saying, you can never go home again. While figurative in real life, the gang realizes that "home" has literally changed beyond recognition. I didn't find it funny in the same ways as its predecessors but it made up for it in melding humor and sci-fi with a story about leaving behind the trivial pursuits of youth and embracing adulthood. That will definitely throw people for a loop as far as expectations but don't write it off before you see it. These three films demonstrate the growth of both Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg as filmmakers. It's not more of the same but that's why it's good. If you're already a fan of these guys, then you'll enjoy it. You can't go wrong with our guys and the added bonus of Eddie Marsan, Martin Freeman, and Paddy Considine. Throw in James Bond himself, Pierce Brosnan, and good times are to be had.

Hilarious British comedy
||Posted .This hilarious British comedy features the same folks who brought us “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” so get ready for a good time. This time out, 5 old friends decide to return to their small home town best known for having the world’s first roundabout and The Golden Mile. The later features a series of 12 pubs concluding at The World’s End. Twenty years earlier the boys only made it half way before youthful drinking incapacitated them. Four of the five have moved on, but Gary King (Simon Pegg) aka “The King” (how original) hasn’t. He still wears the same tee-shirt over the same long trench coat that he did we he was 20. He still drives the same car (The Beast), is still irresponsible and well, you get the picture. He decides it would be a good idea to go back home and start over and this time complete their original goal of 1 pint of beer (minimum) at each of the 12 pubs. The other 4, Andy (Nick Frost), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine), and Peter (Eddie Marsan), reluctantly give in and off they go. Along the way, we get plenty of in-the-car-bickering mostly between the alcoholic Gary and the now teetotaler Andy. Directed and co-written (with Pegg) by Edgar Wright, we get just the right amount of obnoxiousness from Gary without wanting to strangle him. In other words, he’s funny. Now all of these would seem a bit much after a while as the guys get progressively drunk, but things get a bit weird. At first Gary notices that the bartenders don’t recognize him. Others seem to be the same age as they were when he left. Rosamund Pike is introduced midway as the Oliver’s sister and former love crush of Steven and Gary. It’s pretty much a thankless role. But she being sober, notices the same aloofness of the locals. If you’ve seen the trailers, you know that the town has been overrun by some strangers who ooze blue blood and emit bright light from their eyes and mouth. Androids to be sure, but the boys just call them robots. In fact, in one of the funnier scenes, the guys sit around the table, pints in hand, and try to come up a name for the robots. Unable to reach a consensus they just call them the “blanks.” Got to love it. As the quintet continue their mission, they have to avoid the “blanks” who want the guys to adapt rather than fight. But the guys are more concerned about getting to The World’s End. For Gary, it is clearly his mission in life. The final act is a doozy with some surprisingly funny and well-staged fight scenes and some hilarious byplay between Gary and a character played by Bill Nighy.

Final Insallment Of The Cornetto Trilogy
||Posted .This is my favorite of the Pegg-Frost-Wright movies. For once, the guys are adults and trying to figure out how to get by. It may have fewer out-and-out laughs than the others because this movie is deliberately more serious, less goofy (though still awfully funny), with characters that seem like actual people. It's not Shaun & Fuzz, but it isn't supposed to be. It's the best acting that Simon Pegg has done, even though his character is abrasive and on a downhill slide and on a search for redemption. You can't really expect them to keep doing the exact same shtick over and over now that they've become adults. (I mean, Nick Frost has to be sick of having to play slobs. I expect he's actually more like the character in this film.) The World's End still has the sweetness of the other films in the trilogy, even if there is more conflict between the characters. Pegg & Frost are still soulmates, even if they're not so sure they like each other anymore. Aliens aside, the movie is more realistic than the others, and this may be part of the reason it's disappointing to some people. But it's the reason that I cared more about it. I give them so much credit for taking risks. Not that I don't still love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I just love this one more.

A Great Conclusion to the Three Flavours Trilogy!
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This often overlooked third film in Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy is filled with solid action and plenty of humor to boot. This time, series stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost face off evil aliens in this satire of the Body Snatcher films. Yes, “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” are better films, but this movie is still pretty amazing in its own right. Check it out if you haven’t yet and revisit it if you haven’t seen it in awhile. I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed.

Very funny British Comedy
||Posted .I am not fully reviewing this movie, but mainly the blu-ray. This movie is from the makers of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz which if you liked this movie or liked those other movies then this is in the same vein of adult oriented over the top humor. I'm sure teen boys and men will enjoy this movie about getting to the next pint of beer. Hit IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes for a better review and trailers. This Bluray came with a digital download and a DVD. It was well packed with extras and met my needs. It was on sale which means it might come up again. My only note is that after I bought it a Bluray collection of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End also went on sale at Best Buy. So check on that other item if you want. No DVD in that version.
