Absolutely brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2008)

Wright/Pegg/Frost are absolutely brilliant together. Watching either of their two feature films, I find myself pacing the room, raving about the genius behind a certain set of quick cuts, or the framing of a shot, or the delivery of a line -- even if I'm the only person in the room. It's hard to put my finger on why these guys' satires are so much funnier and more intelligent than Hollywood attempts at parody; all I know is that they never seem to stop and wink at the audience, if you know what I mean. Adding to the mix is Wright's directorial abilities, which are absolutely spot on. Well, there I go raving again. I'm actually jealous of these guys, they are so good at what they do.
