Moon came out this year, wasn't talked about much in last year's review because no one had seen it yet. Definitely deserves to be up there.

Will try and think of more.

- My son, my son what have ye done
- Best worst movie
and shouldn't Fantastic Mr. Fox get a mention?

Britarded said...

The Social Network DVD is estimated for January 2011, it has to go on there too, we'd be dim to miss that one.

January 2011 = next year.

Britarded said...

Joe! Always the token antagonist! I was wondering how the calendar worked with all those months and days and things I got confused, thanks.

Fubar 2 is released December 28th, Social network is estimated for January, could be January 1st, 4 days later and it gets discounted? Hmmmm, how strict are we being exactly regarding theatre releases? Is it DVD only then because I don't think we did that last year? I may be wrong.

Also, can we do a page on over-hyped garbage we hated in this issue? Like a room 101 banishment kind of thing?

No Social Network. We're trying to establish a bunch of recommended films to rent for the year-end Xmas Holidays. No hardcopy this year either. It will be a web-issue with a printed 1 page in support.
