Hair tousled, fingers primed.
First, Discs To Spin!
NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK
Quantum of Solace (dir. Forster)
Not as well recieved as Casino Royale on its initial release, the second in the Bond-reboot oeuvre has seen a slow decline over the past few months to a middling position in the 007 catalogue. Criticism was driven by the perceived 'lack of fun' sought by the titular character. Of course due to the fact that his love, Vesper, dies at the end of 'Royale,' the shock shouldn't be so shocking.
Even so, the pace remains belt-ripping and the action realistic (as imaginable).
I'd pick it up for 7 quid on Amazon no problemo.
OTHER RELEASES THIS WEEK
Wallace and Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death (dir. Park)
The loafsome twosome are back for their fourth TV installment. Like the others in the series, the 45 minutes just flies by. In fact, you will be hard pressed to catch all the visual puns in one viewing.
I would wait for a bundle of all the series to be released together, otherwise youll be paying a tenner for each. No petty sum!
If you missed this over Christmas, its well worth renting.
BARGAIN DISC OF THE WEEK
In Bruges (dir. McDonagh)
Pissingly hilarious in parts, touching drama in parts. In Bruges can be stolen this week for a mere fiver at a few online stores including play.com saving you fifteen gold boys.

UNCOVENTIONAL (RANDOM) BOOK OF THE WEEK
The Whitsun Weddings (Larkin)
I am not a poetry buff by any stretch of the imagination, but this classic set of poems by the late great Philip Larkin knocked me back several large strides and so I would recommend it to anyone with the luck of a spare few hours on any given weekend.
