Movie News & Reviews

Well it's looking like the only place to buy DVD's and games will be supermarkets or online. HMV will be going into administration tomorrow with the potential loss of 4000 staff and 200 stores. Bizarrely the current chief of HMV used to head up Jessops.
Feel sorry for the staff losing their jobs but HMV don't deserve much sympathy with their expensive prices over the years. Still it will be sad loss to the high street.
