Midweek Movie – Surrogates
Comments OffSo now for a change from the norm. I’ve gone to a cinema for this week’s review. And it’s Surrogates.

Midweek Movie – Dog Soldiers
Comments OffOnce upon a time (2002), Hollywood thought that scary movies were a good thing. British cinema wanted to keep up, and so they too started filming what they thought was scary. Cue Dog Soldiers.
