Edgar Wright May 02, 2007

Shaun of the Dead started as a satire of zombie films but shifted into making points about friendship and loss. Hot Fuzz parodies the 80's action film and Bruckheimer excess.

Wry, thoughtful, but not detached, David Duchovny (House of D, Trust the Man, Bones) ironic yet emotional approach to acting gave The X-Files a center and also grounds his satiric new film, The TV set.
