Due to the unprecedented weather our offices are closed. I do however have a working phone and email so please do get in touch if you need to.
We apologise if you are currently waiting for a delivery, we have a Red weather warning in our area for Wednesday, Thursday & Friday of this week, and most delivery services have been suspended.
A good time to stay at home and watch a movie I guess!

We are back open today, it looks like the worst of the snow has passed so we will just be catching up after the chaos of the past few days. Thanks for everyone's patience who are waiting for deliveries.
The latest Movie of the Week is Federico Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita' from 1960. This film details the seven deadly sins, takes place on the seven hills of Rome, and spans seven days. It was also a mass box-office hit, and was condemned by the Pope of the time. Definitely worth looking into.
In Federico Fellini's lauded Italian film, restless reporter Marcello Rubini (Marcello Mastroianni) drifts through life in Rome. While Marcello contends with the overdose taken by his girlfriend, Emma (Yvonne Furneaux), he also pursues heiress Maddalena (Anouk Aimée) and movie star Sylvia (Anita Ekberg), embracing a carefree approach to living. Despite his hedonistic attitude, Marcello does have moments of quiet reflection, resulting in an intriguing cinematic character study.

An epic selection for the Movie of the Week this time, Scorsese's 1995 crime drama 'Casino' with big screen legends Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone. Violent, tragic, drug-riddled and... well, see for yourself.
In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro) gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), his ex-hustler wife Ginger (Sharon Stone), her con-artist ex Lester Diamond (James Woods) and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger. Martin Scorsese directs this adaptation of Nicholas Pileggi's book.
The Movie Of The Week is 'Gregory's Girl', a classic Scottish coming-of-age movie that I've recently come to appreciate, after watching begrudgingly on repeat as a child in school. It's been a while since I've seen any Scottish films featured in the limelight.
Gregory Underwood (Gordon John Sinclair) is a graceless teen soccer player on a hapless team. When a girl named Dorothy (Dee Hepburn) shows up to play, things change quickly; Dorothy becomes a top player, while Gregory and the rest of the team become enamored of her. Gregory works up the courage to invite Dorothy on a date. She accepts, but Gregory finds he's been deceived into taking out another girl. Despite his confusion, Gregory eventually warms to the situation.
Just a quick reminder that we will be closed this weekend for our Easter break. We will be closed Friday through to Monday and will re-open on Tuesday 3rd @ 9am.
The Movie of the Week is 1986 crime drama, "River's Edge". Keanu Reeves' debut film that brought him to light. This is a good choice for a rainy night but be prepared to feel unsettled at the end.
Teenage burnout Samson (Daniel Roebuck) has murdered his girlfriend and left her naked body lying on the bank of a river just outside their small California town. He not only doesn't run away, he brings his friends to gawk at her dead body. Speed freak Layne (Crispin Glover) tries to force the teens' silence to protect their friend, but conscience is gnawing at the others -- particularly Matt (Keanu Reeves) and Clarissa (Ione Skye Leitch), who want to go to the police.
Movie of the Week today is Geoff Murphy's "The Quiet Earth", a New Zealander's take on the 'last human on Earth' narrative. While considered a sci-fi movie, it does anything but overload you with special effects - it is more of a character driven insight into the human condition.
When everyone around him vanishes overnight, scientist Zac Hobson (Bruno Lawrence) finds himself seemingly the only person on the planet. The isolation initially drives him to the brink of suicide, but eventually Zac adapts to a day-to-day routine. After meeting two other survivors, Joanne (Alison Routledge) and Api (Pete Smith), a Maori, the trio roams New Zealand trying to understand what caused everyone else to disappear, why they remained behind -- and whether disaster will strike again.
Today's Movie of the Week is the brilliant "Sid and Nancy" 1986 cult biopic following the fatally dysfunctional relationship of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. One of Gary Oldman's first hits, his performance as Sid is a must-see for any Pistols fans.
Following their breakout success in England, flagship punk rock band the Sex Pistols venture out on their first U.S. tour. Temperamental bassist Sid Vicious (Gary Oldman) takes his troubled girlfriend, Nancy Spungen (Chloe Webb), along for the ride. Along the way, the couple's turbulent relationship strains the patience of bandmate Johnny Rotten (Andrew Schofield) and manager Malcolm McLaren (David Hayman), while plunging Sid and Nancy into the depths of drug addiction and co-dependency.
