  1.  Shaun Of The Dead Fans Will Love This!!!

    Posted: 

    Now im quite a critial person when it comes to films but it's really quite difficult to find fault with Hot Fuzz. It delivers everything it promises and a bit more besides. At its heart, we have the buddy/love story between Nick and Danny, played to perfection by Pegg and Frost. They're supported by the absolute cream of British comedy and acting talent and everyone involved is an absolute bloody delight.

    The jokes go from silly to inspired back to very silly indeed, but belly laughs are plentiful and surrounded by dozens of smaller giggles. As a parody of police action movies, it's also right on the money, but actually, it's as much homage as it is piss-take, as they recreate some of the cheesiest scenes from the "masterpieces" of the genre with obvious affection. Even better though, it's also a damn good action film in its own right lol

    The climax does drag on a touch, with the oldllll loooook 'he's behind you' being used a couple of times too many, and the final payoff isn't quite as satisfying as Shaun of the dead nor is it as good, But these are minor quibbles that don't detract from Hot Fuzz being surely the funniest film you'll see this year. your sides will be aching from fits of laughter with this gem of a film...

  2.  GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS, GREAT FILM ONE FOR THE FANS!!!

    i agree with the other reviews, if your looking for a action packed martial arts fest then look no further i watched this movie months ago and i loved it, normally im not really into martial art films that goes over the top as im more into traditional martial arts films, but having said that i enjoyed this film and i recommend it to anyone who is into fast paced action of the highest quality. also donnie yen is one of my fav actors and he is truly under-rated if your a fan of his works then buy this film you wont be dissapointed that i promise you.

  3.  Great Player At A Great Price!!!!

    Cheesy no offence but you have no idea what your talking about, blu-ray is here to stay my friend and well win the battle...

    Blu-ray has been met with much criticism since the release of the Samsung BD-P1000. Much finger pointing was done. Blame fell upon the player, the software, Sony, Samsung...everyone under the sun was being blamed for this "false start" in the race to dominate the HD disc market. In the end, Samsung built a machine that played its main format very well. While currently there is no other available Blu-ray player, we are unable to gauge how well it plays. However i can say with confidence that this thing will give you an experience you've never had with standard definition DVD and broadcast HDTV.

    Remember guys Blu-ray is still young, and I'm sure we can expect great things from the format. 50 Gigabyte Dual Layer discs have still yet to be released and more advanced video and audio codecs are still yet to be utilized. If the Samsung BD-P1000 is already capable of this kind of quality now, I can't wait to see what it can do when all these other things come to surface!

    While the player is still a little pricey £999 from argos and various other retailers im happy to see that PLAY have lowered the price well done play.com for dropping the price an amazing £500 off,anyway back to the BD-P1000 has made me once again fall in love with high definition films. And it has turned me from "sitting on the fence" during this format war to actively (and financially) supporting both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. After all, the only way we can guarantee the success of either format is buying their products.

    Pros :

    Incredible picture quality
    Mind-blowing sound quality
    Connections for nearly any audio/video configuration
    Familiar navigation menus
    Pretty Blue lights lol

    Cons:

    Poor downscaling to 720p (and sometimes 1080i)
    Slow startup and content access speed
    Mildly irresponsive remote control
    No 7.1 analogue outputs
    No "pillar-box" for 4:3 content

    all in all this is a great product i only wish i purchased mine from PLAY.COM as i would of saved myself nearly £500, so if you guys want this player i suggest you purchase it from play.com as the price is spot on.

    oh if your confused about hd and blu-ray remember guys there will be players available eventually that will support both blu-ray and hd so if you can wait a year or 2 then do so.
