MAC or PC?



All I do know is that a Macbook Pro can survive being thrown hard down the stairs! Sexy AND reliable.  Sony are hanging in there for the PC, 
they've just unveiled their new concept store in LA Baby...


Convergeance is happening whether they like it or not, both with Android apps and some pretty sexy hardware like this mini projector that plugs into your i-phone or other device... a no-brainer or what!

SHORT FILMS


Get out and about... if you're near Camden check out the Short Cutz Film festival, with specific viewings of some acclaimed short films throughout the year, showing at The Proud Gallery. With some of our staff both helping out and exhibiting... our very own Jack Davies recently did a Q &A on his award-winning short 'A Case Of You', which you can watch for FREE right now!

Mood-Driven Entertainment!

With fewer outlets where you can browse to buy films, physical Rental is back in vogue! HMV laying off more staff in an uncertain future and closing more stores. Blockbuster looking shabby with little selection and also closing stores (Bayswater gone), apparently Channel Films are now the second largest chain in London and we've only got four outlets! It's all Lovefilm and the Jersey boys, like play.com. As the market becomes yet more polarized with Amazon making moves (now majority owner of Lovefilm) and Netflix getting ready for Europe, there's actually far less choice for the consumer for instant gratification. 
But there is a place where you can browse an amazing, eclectic and broad selection of films (including all the latest releases) in one place... and actually interact with like-minded people. Something you can't do with the net, no matter how sociable your social network may want to be! 
We've noticed an upturn in business as the notion of getting down to the local video rental store is, again, an attractive option. With 2 new releases for 2 nights for £6, it's excellent value and a whole different social experience! 
It could be argued that there's no other local retail environement where so many regularly visit and interact... FILM demands discussion, so of you live in one our London areas then come and see for yourself and get some 'Mood Driven Entertainment'.

Black Swan

Just been reminded that Darren Aronofsky's an old customer of ours at Camden Town! Without naming names, that makes around 10 Oscar winners amongst our shop members over the last 20 years. Who would believe it? 


You can also watch him interviewed amongst other directors in the documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated, about censorship in Hollywood, available to watch or download now...
