A Weekend Double Feature

It is very, very rare for me to go to the cinema twice over the weekend (unless it's during the summer). But, it happened this weekend. There were two movies...

Hot Fuzz is the first one. Like "Shaun of the Dead", this is a very funny, very British treat. An extremely smart spoof where the actors were clearly having fun. Although it was a little too long, by the end, I was glued to the screen. B+

Kickin' it Old Skool-If "Hot Fuzz" was too long, then "Kickin' it Old Skool" was an eternity. The film is simply a mess, filled to the very top with bad performances and writing that would make a kid repeat second grade English. It's movies like this that make me ashamed to be a movie nut. D-
