@James
It would be an irony if Avatar ended up being 2009′s ATM Movie of the Year, a film that wasn’t reviewed on ATM.
Oh Dave and Marg, legends..love kicking back Wednesday nights and hearing their reviews!!!
@Geoff
No they didn’t review Avatar unfortunately. David did do a review for his newspaper column and was very favorable of it. I haven’t seen Margaret if she reviewed it.
Have they reviewed Avatar yet – I tried to find it on their web page – can someone help ?
Thanx
It will be good to have Dave and Margaret back.
Lauren I’m sure the 6pm repeat will remain, it will just be followed with Collectors instead of the Einstein Factor.
David, you have mis-spelt films as filsm.
Any word about whether we’ll still get the 6 pm Sunday repeat? This was always a much more convenient timeslot, and I’d hate to see it go.
