Friday movie roundup – May 18

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Sorry for the tardiness in today’s round-up. I got “In the Dark” sent out last night, and immediately after that is when the site’s server went down. So I went to bed, which is pretty much all the tech support I’m capable of.

This week’s “In the Dark” podcast can be heard here, and you can plug this URL into your podcast-listening device to subscribe to it. And of course more details on the old-fashioned e-mail version are here.
