Shaun of the Dead (Critique)
My 50 word of critique of... well, you already read the title. Pour yourself a warm one and crack open a packet of hog lumps. This could get messy.
My all-time favourite movie, certainly my favourite Z-word movie. Funny, jam-packed with references to iconic movies, quotable to the nth degree. A tale of survival, love and friendship. Pegg/Frost's masterpiece. Perfection!
Less polished than Hot Fuzz, but that lends it its own charm.

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

This is one of my favorite movies, too! Loved it through and through.
Clink clink! Congrats on your top story! 😁 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️
Congrats on the TS. I'm so disappointed in myself I didn't think to talk about this film, I love it so much! One of the first films I downloaded off limewire for my Ipod back in the day
Glad this got TS-well deserved
Hot Fuzz is my favourite film EVER so I adore the cornetto trilogy! 🍦
An absolute classic. Love Spaced and Hot Fuzz too. Can’t deny how quotable and memeable a film it is
Haven't seen this one but loved Hot Fuzz! Great review and congratulations on Top Story!
Excellent review! You covered all the bases, including the recommendations. I loved this movie; it was the backdrop for my first kiss, so naturally I love it the most of all Pegg's movies. Might need to give it a rewatch...
Loved this movie. It’s one of those parodies that become a classic in the genre it’s roasting. Spot on critique, my friend. Congrats on TS! 💖
Less polished...but just funnier.
Haven't seen this one but Simon Pegg is a favourite. Congrats on the TS!
For a second I was like oh Paul Betany and realized I was very wrong lol must see this

I remember it was indeed fun to watch
This was such a hilarious movie. I enjoyed both Hot Fuzz and this
Hahahahahahhahahahaha that trailer was epic! I gotta watch this!
Perfect. LC. Perfect. Thank you.
I loved this movie-critique definitely does it justice. Great work
Definitely one of my faves too! Brilliantly written and well directed. I also enjoy Anna and the Apocalypse
I live this movie too!
Love this film, hilarious!
I have no idea what spaced is ..the advertisement got stuck. I’ll have to check it out in a bit. I need to rewatch this movie for a laugh. Your critique is also all kinds of kooky! 😁 Have you done Hott Fuzz yet?
Honestly, this is one of the better Simon Pegg ones. Such a great film.
