In the wake of Kervyn’s announcement yesterday regarding The Extras posts, I’ve also decided to make a little change on the Movies Out Today posts. Instead of struggling to come up with headlines on a weekly basis (which is something that the other guys know I am seriously bad at), I’ve decided to just add a date to the headline. The …

With global warming increasing temperatures around the globe and our rather warm winter so far (I had mosquitoes in my bedroom last night!) it’s difficult to find an excuse to get under covers with a loved one to cuddle up.
