I really have to do a better job of keeping track of what movies are showing

I checked the web site last night and not only was Hot Fuzz still showing, but they were showing Grindhouse at the video theatre!

And today they're both gone. Well, at least they're still showing Mr. Brooks and the video one has a flic called Next based on a Philip K. Dick film and starring Nick Cage. So I'll probably try and catch it tonight.

Hot Fuzz is well worth seeing - watch for it at 2nd run or on DVD. It hits every single cop buddy movie trope pitch perfectly.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago, absolutely loved it! I didn't know in advance that it was the same guys who dead Shaun of the Dead. Yeah, definite DVD buy when it comes out!

If you see Transformers, a friend of mine is a terrorist! They filmed a lot of the military and desert stuff in my neck o' the woods!

People don't realize how much movie/video production take place. It's interesting to go to a [state/city] film office and see what stuff was filmed in your area. IIRC, IMDB has the ability to pull up a location and see what was filmed there.

For example, the opening to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho was filmed in Phoenix, as was Clint Eastwood's The Gauntlet. I can show you where things took place. And the week after I started working for my new employer, a co-worker was in a TV movie about illegal immigration: he was driving a van full of illegals and got stopped by Border Patrol. He got to take some shots at the cops then run across the desert! It's an occasional topic in the office.
