Monty Python and the Holy Grail
September 2, 2003
I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Now that I’ve offended and scared off those that don’t know Python, the rest of us can divulge in some joviality and reminisce of times when...

Die Hard 5 Star Collection
May 1, 2003
The greatest action movie of all time. To give Die Hard to the general action movie watching public is something of a waste. You might as well give them cheap wine instead of Don Perignon, a shops own brand cheese instead of French Brie and Lazenby instead...
