Stranger Than Fiction. Very great film indeed. Go watch.

Walking into Virgin in Stirling today wasn't exactly a mistake, but then again it hasn't helped the space concerns in the Lair either. Yes, it's 5-for-30 time once again, and the latest line up consists of Scarface, Carlitos Way, Hostage, Domino and the Romancing The Stone / Jewel Of The Nile 2-pack, pushing the To-Watch figure back to a meaty 17 ( Read more... )
