If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor - Bruce Campbell

I'd seen this book in the shops and never bothered buying it, always something else to read first. Then a friend lent it to me and of course I was forced to read it straight away. Thank you so much Martin, I'm glad you lent it to me, and you...

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

I have to admit that I went in with some heavy preconceptions about this movie. The first review we saw was bad, the comments from the fans were variable to be very fair, and the chances of such an epic and very British story making it to a single movie...
