Monday Links (09/07/12)

July has been a bit of a slow month on the site so far. I will try and be a bit more productive this week. I have still been watching plenty of films, but I have been working quite a bit and contributing reviews of Wrinkles and Cousinhood to the Official Spanish Film Festival Blog. You Instead hits cinemas this week, and I caught up with The Amazing Spider-Man. Thanks to everyone who commented on my spontaneous review of Clint Eastwood's Play Misty For Me. I'll make the time to reply to them all shortly.

During the week I picked up the 11 Disk Powell and Pressburger Collection, which is an exciting purchase including their notable works Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes and A Matter of Life & Death.

For Australian residents I also have a giveaway running. Headhunters is a film that shouldn't be missed, and you have the chance to win a copy of the film on DVD. All you have to do is email your name, address, and the name of the author whose novel the film is based on to andrew.buckle22@gmail.com.

Here are this week's links:
