I just had a dumb thought. “Hot Fuzz” was made because Edgar Wright was a huge fan of American buddy cop action movies and he noticed that the United Kingdom doesn’t really do action cop movies. So “Hot Fuzz” is like Britain’s tribute/pastiche of American cop action movies.

My dumb thought is, would that make “Hot Fuzz” an example of an Ameriboo movie?

Film: PROBLEMISTA (d. Julio Torres, 2023, USA)

Forum: AMC River East  Format: DCP

Observations: The trailer for PROBLEMISTA (Julio Torres, 2023, USA) sold it as a Wes Anderson-like puzzle-box fantasy, and to a degree I suppose it is. Yet it's also a sweet, human-scaled feature, and its central premise - that it takes all kinds to make a world, even the "difficult" people (embodied by the deliciously cutting Tilda Swinton) - resonated with me. Plus, it might appeal to anyone who's ever found themselves thwarted by technology (or indeed, by how the entire world seems to operate in the 2020s). Recommended. Twelve other people in the audience.
