Hot Fuzz - Movie Review
Hot Fuzz Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Nighy Director: Edgar Wright Review: I must admit, I approached this film with a certain amount of trepidation. Maybe it was because I was expecting what would basically become a cop-film parody version of Shaun of the Dead, with the same jokes and, on the whole, the same themes. Or maybe it was because I feared the team behind that first excellent parody would not live up

The beginning of the book is so important because you really get the feel for the weird mother-daughter relationship between Astrid and her Mother.

In 1998 Peter Weir released, The Truman Show, an ingenious movie that urged viewers to reflect on ethics related to modern day television programmes and the media.
