This is not looking like the year where I get through my unread pile!

Mean Girls was sharp and witty; Amores Perros was very good, with overlapping stories of people whose lives interact around a car crash, well done but pretty brutal; Django Unchained is I gues brutal and witty - fab Tarantino dialogue, revenge, revenge, revenge as a dish served from the barrel of a gun, Samuel L. Jackson was great, no nostalgia or apology for slavery. Amazing mountainous/desert backdrops filmed to look like they were painted on.

I have a pile of books to give (back) to you. Also, could I borrow The Charioteer?
