Week's Films to Stalk: 30th November to 6th December
Welcome to Filmstalker's Week of Films to Stalk. This lists all the UK releases in cinema and the films on non-subscription television this week that I'd recommend watching, or in a few cases would recommend steering clear of. Watch out for the Filmstalker hotdog award for favourites.
Despite this being for the films in the UK, it's not just about what's on, but about finding some films you haven't seen in a while and a bit of discussion.
This week there's some cracking films, a fair few John Carpenter films for a start, including The Thing, Escape from New York and Christine. Oh, and it's my birthday on Monday.
