The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy Blu-ray Boxed Set includes all 3 of the ‘Cornetto’ British comedy/genre movies directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg. Cast includes Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy.
The World's End (2013)
For Gary King (Simon Pegg) and Andy Knightley (Nick Frost) it was supposed to be
the ultimate reunion – one night, five friends, twelve bars. A boozy quest
to ‘The Worlds End’ pub on which only the strongest will survive. Having the
time of their lives, they're ready to take on the world … but tonight they
might just have to save it…
“This is by light-years the most entertaining movie of the year. How many
apocalyptic sci-fi action extravaganzas leave you feeling as if the world is
just beginning?” New York Magazine
“A rare film that's as much fun as you've heard.”
RogerEbert.com
“The cast is amazing, from the great duo of Frost and Pegg to the
supporting players, many of whom are better known for taking on heavy dramatic
fare…a joy to experience.” Chicago Sun Times
“With a ton of heart, sentimentality, and a huge emphasis on friendship,
The World's End puts a spin on the imperfections all humans have and delivers a
film that is near perfect because of it.” Examiner.com
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Proves that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wrights brilliant Shaun Of The Dead was no
one-off, serving up a superbly crafted British homage to the Hollywood action
movie.
Police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is transferred to a rural village. On
arrival, Angel teams up with the oaf-like PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) and
together they investigate a series of mysterious murders, all of which are
classed as accidents by the increasingly strange townsfolk…

another screening” Village Voice
“Plenty of irrepressible fun … and big, regular laughs.” Guardian
UK

blast!” DVD Verdict
Shaun Of The Dead (2004)
Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best friend Ed (Nick Frost) find their lives a little
busy as the dead are coming back to life and trying to eat the living. Now they

directed, nicely acted and boasts a script crammed with real gags”
Guardian UK
“..Shaun of the Dead is a hoot and three quarters. This is one of the most
fun films of the year” DVD verdict
“It is truly a pity that Hollywood cannot produce a comedy film of this
caliber. Shaun of the Dead has comedy, social parody, horror, and yes, even
romance. With great writing, directing, and acting, it succeeds on every
level.” best-horror-movies.com
