Hot Fuzz Review
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer. He’s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel’s superiors send him to a place where his talents won’t be quite so embarrassing -- the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford!!!!
Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief, Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new partner might just be a real-life hero and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems!!!
This film is definitely my favourite over Shaun of the Dead. I must say, that it is not for the faint hearted! Although really funny, it is really gory in places with some quite horrific accidents/murders taking place.
I am 16 years old and live at Swindon Foyer, I would thoroughly recommend this film for anyone my age upwards to go and see.

Red Nose Day at Swindon Foyer
Residents at Swindon Foyer raised funds for Comic Relief last friday.
We had two activities going on:
Residents held a car wash at Jephson Housing Association's Swindon Office where they hoovered, washed and polished staff cars for donations. Residents involved were Anwar Chema, Paul Bradbury, Seb Hayball and Lee Conti along with Project Worker's Trevor King and Amanda Driscoll. Residents raised £47.00 for red nose day.
Other residents made cakes at the Foyer and then took donations from the passing public in the local community. Residents involved were Jamie Crabtree, Sol Dale, Matthew Brickell, Andy Page and Project Worker Michelle Lowton. their efforts raised £60.14.
A staggering £107.14 was raised by Swindon foyer residents for comic Relief!
Art Project – Swindon Foyer
At the Swindon Foyer, a group of young people took on the task of making a sculpture to put in the garden and to be presented at the Foyer’s annual general meeting. They had a deadline of under 2 weeks to do this.
A local artist was brought in to work with these Foyer residents.
They started off by drawing each other and breaking down the face into a group of lines and shapes that they could use as a foundation for the drawing; this technique was also used in planning the sculpture.
To get an idea of what they wanted it to be, they looked at Tony Bevan’s semi-abstract painting ‘Head’ and drew pictures using these techniques.
They then moved on to making the sculpture; it was made from 2 meter aluminium strip that was bent into shape and bolted together to make their own abstract sculpture.
The sculpture and drawings received many compliments and were also displayed at the local museum. Four of the young people have used this project to complete a module (building on a skill) towards their Learning Power Award.
