Team America: World Police

I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard that Trey Parker was doing it. I think it was worth the wait. Filmed in what Gerry Anderson would have called Supermarionation (ie completely with Thunderbird style pupets) this is a political / movie / hollywood spoof that has the usual gross out moments that you'd expect from the makers of south park. It has some hilarious moments - love the way they trash paris and egypt whilt catching some bad guys with weapons of mass destruction, and it's worth hanging on through the credits for the Alec Baldwin special song at the end. The vomit scene is amusing but the panthers are hilarious. Everyone's a target, especially Hollywood big budget movies but the real winner is probably the hilarious soundtrack. It's also incredibly well filmed, with really complex puppet shots and great camerawork.
