Finally got round to seeing this last night and watched it twice.
Easily one of my favourite movies this year.
The plot is nice and twisty, the deaths (which I wasn't expecting, knowing little about it) are hilariously gory and everone in it (and WHAT a cast!) shines.
I think Nick Frost has turned out to be a major acting talent... not bad for a bloke Simon Pegg met working in a Chiquito's Mexican restaraunt!
How these guys keep doing it is beyond me (Cate Blanchett appears unbilled and in a mask for her entire appearance, as does Peter Jackson as the murderous Santa!).
Excellent movie!

Just thought I'd say that I totally agree with everything Nerfy says about this film. My DVD arrived last week and I've watched it 3 times already. Absolutely awesome film. Nick Frost does indeed act his socks off and there's brilliant performances from Timothy Dalton, Kenneth Cranham, Edward Woodwood and Billy Whitelaw just to name a few. Great story with action, lots of comedy and some really touching scenes.

Actually got round to watching it tonight for the first time! Mrs Poyks and I thought it was feckin' brilliant!!! All round excellent movie. Proof once again by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (and a brilliant list of other cast members), that British comedy is still very much live and kicking!! |

Ever been stabbed? Yes. What was it like? It was the single most painful experience in my life.
What was the second most painful?
