Title: Abstracted out the processes of firing a controller method

Hi Phil,

Not sure about your thoughts on this. I've found it useful when needing to insert a bit of logic before the controller method is fired (by overriding _fire_method()).

We could go an alternate way and actually create a hook-like method (e.g. pre_method_call()), like early_check().
