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.

Harry Potter (Critique)
This series inspired and defined an entire generation, and galvanised them to read. It's spawned movies, video-games and theme parks. The titular character is similar to Gaiman's Timothy Hunter, but the story is well-plotted and resonates deeply.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Memorial Day
In the month of May at the end there's a holiday known as Memorial Day. It is a day set aside to give praise and honor to all who served this country known as America. It is a day that family and friends have a barbeque of hamburgers and hot dogs, potato salad, and some form of dessert and some kind of beverage depending on the wants of those that tend to want iced tea, beer or some other form of drink. Just remember this saying while remembering on this day. "Lest We Forget."

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.

Everything you said in exactly 50 words is true. Well done. Is it the Cornetto trilogy? Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and Worlds End. All great movies.
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!

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.
