But it's a crying shame The World's End isn't higher on IMDB, as it's possibly the most accomplished.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-55358865706080514562016-04-06T08:55:00.905-03:002016-04-06T08:55:00.905-03:00Mister Harry, the Luis scenes actually weren't...Mister Harry, the Luis scenes actually weren't from Edgar.

Shaun of the Dead is just shy of the top 100.<br />First I saw: Hot Fuzz, in October 2010, introduced to me by my cousins. Never seen one in a cinema.<br />Most underrated: The World's End (again, not even in the IMDb top 1000.)<br /><br />Not quite on my favourite directors list, but I can see him getting there in the future.

I was disappointed when he parted from Ant-Man, though his influence is still felt in Luis' narration scenes. Although I still enjoyed Ant-Man, how much better would it have been with Ed at the helm? I've not yet seen Scott Pilgrim - must pick that up soon.Mister Harrynoreply@blogger.com
