BEST BUY is offering Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz Blu-ray for $12.98. But it gets better! BEST BUY will also give you $8 of FANDANGO cash if you buy this combo Blu-ray this week. However, you can only use the FANDANGO cash towards a ticket for The World’s End or Kick-Ass 2. Much as I want to see Hit Girl, the terrible reviews for Kick-Ass 2 discourage me from that option. But I can cheerfully recommend The World’s End made by the same team that made Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. If you haven’t seen Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz this is an attractive package at a bargain price.
I am tempted to see the third film in the so-called ‘Cornetto trilogy’ as I like the idea that it is similar sort characters in some ways but older – shame that there do seem to be a lot of movie about, or just after the apocalypse around at the moment (AFTER EARTH, OBLIVION, THIS IS THE END) – it’s not the 50s again, is it?
SHAUN OF THE DEAD was one of those movies that came out of nowhere (at least for me). It was terrific fun. HOT FUZZ was fun too but not such a surprise perhaps.
Sergio, THE WORLD’S END is a load of fun, just like SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ. The “Cornetto” trilogy will draw plenty of viewers.
Patti, you’re right about SHAUN OF THE DEAD just popping up and surprising people. HOT FUZZ had better marketing.
I loved SHAUN OF THE DEAD too. HOT FUZZ not so much though it was fun. Looking forward to the new one.
Jeff, you and Jackie will laugh plenty watching THE WORLD’S END.
KICK ASS 2 is not too much worse than KICK ASS, and is about as good, depending on one’s pov on this kind of not terribly verisimilitudinous superhero-yearning/vigilante quasi-parody. Meretz is certainly good enough. SUPER is better than either.
Todd, I’ll get around to KICK-ASS 2 sometime, but I’m in no rush.
Best Buy sucks. Boycott Best Buy.
Bob, I seldom do business with BEST BUY but sometimes their bargains are irresistible.
