I haven’t had much time for films or reviews these past few weeks, due to my ever increasing workload. Most of my free time’s been spent either watching TV on DVD, or simply researching stuff on the web. And, since I haven’t done a link blowout in a while, I figured I might as well share some of them with you. Enjoy.
