Oh, how I love these guys! Anyone who has seen
Shaun of the Dead or
Hot Fuzz is probably familiar with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's hilarious, satiric ways, and fans of the duo will be happy to know that
they're back at work on another comedy. This time the premise and location are both distinctly American.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

This movie won't be as captivating on DVD
as it was on the big screen, but with the DVD, you'll get the inside scoop on one of 2007's most unusual films.
For the third week in a row,
Disturbia has prevailed at the box office, though whether this is something to write home about is debatable since the competition wasn't exactly fierce. Overall, box office sales were way down this weekend, with
Disturbia drawing in just $9 million — and that's the No. 1 film.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never seen
Shaun of the Dead, because after merely watching the trailer for
Hot Fuzz, I'm ready to declare filmmakers Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright two of Britain's most valuable exports. In their new comedy, which hits theaters this Friday, April 20, Wright (who also directed the best fake trailer in
Grindhouse) and Pegg are lampooning an oft-ridiculed world — small-town cops — with wholly original humor.
Pegg plays a London police officer who is so good at his job that his colleagues resent him, so he's shipped off to the virtually crime-free village of Sandford and paired with a bumbling partner (Nick Frost).
