Film reviews

The new Bond is good (but I bet everyone else has seen it now)! Not much for gizmo fans tho (you can't count all the Sony kit being flashed about). If there's anything else worth seeing I'd love to know .. -------------------- <div class='signature'> The use of money is all the advantage there is to...
