Andy's Recommendation of the week :

Sin City

The series of graphic novels by Frank Miller has finally made it to the big screen in this film noir style movie. The movie tells interlinking stories of the underworld of fictional Basin City.

The film was co-directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez with special guest director Quentin Tarantino and uses amazing special affects and black and white contracts to create the comic book feel.

Extremely violent but a must for any fan of this genre.

Len's Recommendation of the week :

SNOPES.COM

This week's recommendation is a great website that looks at "urban legends, common fallacies, misinformation, old wives tales, strange news stories, rumours and celebrity gossip"
Snopes.com is run by Barbara and David Mikkelson a couple from California who married after meeting on the newsgroup alt.folklore.urban.

It delves into the murky waters of popular disinformatation looking at different topics such as crime, horrors food and military.

The feature that I particularly like is the use of a colour coded rating key to access the veracity of a story. So if you want to find out if chewing gum takes 7 years to pass through the human digestive system or if Fanta was invented by the Nazis then Snopes.com is the site for you!
