When Liz complains that Ed is always around, Shaun says "he doesn't have too many friends," which is often an argument for not becoming one. Liz is smart and ambitious and wants to get ahead in the world, but Shaun is happy with his entry-level job in retail and his leisure hours spent with Ed, watching the telly and drinking beer - at the pub, preferably, or at home in a pinch. Reilly and Tim Blake Nelson in " The Good Girl" (2002). Liz, Shaun and Ed the best friend have a relationship not unlike the characters played by Jennifer Aniston, John C. A cricket bat is to British movies as a baseball bat is to American movies: The weapon of choice for clueless heroes going downstairs to investigate a noise that was inevitably made by somebody packing a lot more than a bat. She lives with Di ( Lucy Davis) and David ( Dylan Moran), who think that in a showdown Shaun would chose the pub over his girl when Shaun urges them to barricade themselves inside the Winchester, David is not encouraging: "Do you think his master plan is going to amount to anything more than sitting and eating peanuts in the dark?" This is not really fair, since Shaun is at least armed: He uses his cricket bat to wham zombies on the head. The irony is that Shaun's girlfriend Liz ( Kate Ashfield) has been issuing ultimatums, asking Shaun to choose between her and the pub. When it becomes clear that London is crawling (or shuffling) with zombies, best buddies Shaun ( Simon Pegg) and Ed ( Nick Frost) lead a small band of survivors to the obvious stronghold: the Winchester, their local.
#SHAUN OF THE DEAD FULL MOVIE MEGAVIDEO MOVIE#
Highly recommended.The movie is a new British comedy about clueless layabouts whose lives center on the pub for them, the zombies represent not a threat to civilization as we know it, but an interference with valuable drinking time. If Shaun was on the money, and Hot Fuzz was wordy, The World's End is somewhere in between. The supporting cast are excellent including (surprisingly well cast) Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman to name a few and a surprise cameo by an ex-Bond. It's strength is that you care about the fate of the characters. There's plenty of homage's thrown in just for fun, Pegg as washed up excitable alcoholic/drug intoxicated Gary King plays against the usual nice guy, here he's a man you love to hate, you really want him to succeed. The beings glowing eyes are reminiscent of Demons (1985) while the set up feels like Invasion of the Body Snatcher (1956/78) only with a twist and the closing confrontation plays out like an episode of Star Trek/Doctor Who followed by an outlandish flash-forward. The first half of the film injects the most one liners and comedy output with the old gang rejoining and their return to the town, while the second is more action orientated when they go head to head with the invaders. Some jokes my go over some international viewer's heads, but the majority cater for all.
The soundtrack oozes nostalgia and accompanying music score is fitting. Wright once again shows that he's at the top of his game, the action scenes are wonderfully executed and the effects are superb. The on location feel gives it an air of realism and captures a current British small town perfectly.
There's plenty of camaraderie between the five friends mixed with the humorous restlessness of a school reunion. Once again like Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007) what makes this so likable is the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost combination - the two have great chemistry, they're not only funny but warm too. Director/writer Edger Wright returns with this British set, sci-fi, beer-fuelled pub crawl yarn. Five friends return to their hometown to relive a pub crawl they never finished in their youth, however, they find their town has been invaded by interstellar beings 'Blanks' and the crawl could literary kill them.
