The DVD Case Pantheon: The World's End


Spoiler Warning: If you don't want to be spoiled for the big twist, watch this film first, then read on.

I'm kind of a late comer to the Edgar Wright fan club. I was aware of Shaun of the Dead when it came out, and heard the reviews, but as I'm not much of a zombie fan I didn't make any effort to see it*. Being that I was a late comer to checking out british TV shows, I didn't jump on the Spaced bandwagon until relatively recently. My first real appreciation for his work was when I went to see Hot Fuzz, unaware of what I was getting into. The result was one of my favorite movies of 2007, which is saying something as that is one of my favorite years of movies. Three years later came Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which again made my top ten for that year.  By then Edgar Wright was on my "must see" list, along with The Coen Brothers and the Andersons Wes and P.T.**
