\"HotHot Fuzz <\/strong>(15)<\/p>\n

The second feature from the team behind Shaun of the Dead<\/a> and is a smart and riotous spoof of cop movies.<\/p>\n

Simon Pegg<\/a> stars as a London cop who is so effective at his job he embarrases the Met<\/a> and gets transferred to a sleepy Somerset village<\/a>. There he finds it difficult to adjust to the local ways but soon finds himself drawn into a series of grisly murders.<\/p>\n

A highly entertaining and surreal mix of Lethal Weapon and The Bill, this is made with a loving attention to detail and looks set to further the careers of director Edgar Wright<\/a> and actor\/writer Pegg.<\/p>\n

\"Apocalypto<\/a>Apocalypto <\/strong>(18)<\/p>\n

A bold and brutally violent drama set in the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula<\/a> in Mexico before the Spanish conquest, it depicts one man’s experience during the decline of the ancient Maya civilization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It follows a young tribesman named Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood<\/a>) who is enslaved and taken to a city in order to be sacrificed before the gods.<\/p>\n

Director Mel Gibson<\/a> attracted all the wrong headlines last summer for his now infamous drunken anti-Semitic rant<\/a> but this shows him to be a daring and accomplished director.<\/p>\n
