A Fantastic Fear of Everything

Who does not want to see Simon Pegg in dirty tighty whiteys with a knife glued to his hand? I would actually have to say a lot of people. It is a bit disturbing but it leads to a hilarious look into a paranoid writers mind. Jack is facing an interview for his new book about historic murders in England trying to sell it to an American T.V. producer. Jack is just afraid to leave his house and the only thing that he is more afraid of is the laundromat. Simon Pegg's performance as a not so graceful rap loving orphan trying to break out of his children's book norm and it all leads to him overcoming his fear of everything.

Tighty Whiteys

The music in this movie is fantastic with everything from In a Gadda Da Vita to Fuck Shit Stack which is only on for a couple of seconds but its clearly Reggie Watts. The color scale ranges from dark and foreboding to psychedelic and fluorescent. With acid trips disguised as therapy sessions and basements of wannabe murders you really feel bad for Jack and relate to his paranoia. The camera work also leads to quite a few surprises concealing a huge surprise in appearance and wonderful stop motion hedgehogs. 

Rating this I would give it an 8/10 it was entertaining and odd. Full of surprises I would absolutely watch this movie again!
