Hot Fuzz Review



Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were the best actors from Shaun of the Dead, and now they are back for another action thrilling and funny comedy called Hot Fuzz.

Hot Fuzz is pretty much like its predecessor. Except this is a movie is about the best cop in London who is sent to the country in a village that has no crime. They do this because if he stays in London, everyone else will be put out of the job. However, when he gets there, he soon realizes everything is not as it seems. Almost every day there is a terrible accident and no one really seems that freaked. Apparrently things like this happen all the time. So, the cop, Nicholas Angle ( Simon Pegg) team up with his new partner, Danny( Nick Frost) to find out what is going on.
This is such a good movie. It is as good as Shaun of the Dead, if not better. The story takes a twist at the end and this will leave your mouth open. Like Shaun of the Dead this is a must see.

Shaun of the Dead Review




Shaun of the Dead Review
By Peter Allen

Shaun of the Dead is about a dead beat guy named Shaun who lives in an apartment with his best friend, Ed and his other friend, Pete. His relationship, with his girlfriend, Liz is on thin ice. He never wants to do anything but drink at a pub. However, when a zombie apocalypse occurs and everyone they know becomes brain loving zombies, including Pete, it is up to Shaun and Ed to save Shaun’s family and Liz and get them to a safe place.

This is the best horror love story ever. It pretty much makes fun of every zombie movie ever. There is a scene at the beginning where they do a rap song with a zombie when they are drunk. This is absolutely hilarious. I could not stop laughing. However let me say this is a very disturbing movie. The guts and gore make it just more enjoyable. And let me say Shaun is a crap shot with a rifle. This is a movie defiantly worth checking out.

Assassins Creed Brotherhood Review






Assassins Creed Brotherhood Review
By Peter Allen


Ubisoft has made many famous games over the years. They’re the fathers of the famous series Prince of Persia. However, now, there best series by far is Assassins Creed. Brotherhood is the third installment of the famous series and Ubisoft has promised they fixed a lot. However, considering it was released a little over than a year after AC2, how much could have they added?
Brotherhood starts right after AC2 ended. At the exact second in fact. We follow Ezio Auditore Da Firenze as he had just defeated his arch enemy Rodrigo Borgia, also called the Pope. He leaves Rome to go back to his Uncle Mario in Monterrigoni. He thinks his battles are done when the next morning, the Borgia army come and kill Uncle Mario and destroy the villa. Ezio finds out that Rodrigo’s son, Chesare Borgia. He travels to Rome to free it and kill the Borgia.
The story line was really good. I never found myself bored of the game and there was always something going on. Like in the previous game, it ends like WTF and made me want to play the next one immediately.
I think that they perfected the controls. In the second one, I found myself waiting for the soldiers to attack so that I can counter and kill them. Now, you bounce to each enemy if you time it right. So, you could kill ten soldiers in five seconds if you time it right.
The enjoyment is that this game is so fun. After the first three sequences, you an take as long or as short to finish the game. There are so many side missions like assassination contracts to sending your own recruits across Europe so they can come full assassins as well. The game can be up to fourteen to thirty hours of gameplay. I finished the story a week ago and I am still trying to do all of the stuff. I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat.
