THE GODFATHER 45TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION: OMERTA EDITION
I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. Well, you can. You'd just be silly to. To commemorate the 45th anniversary of the greatest two films and a sub-par third film ever, a new Omerta Edition collection of The Godfather Trilogy has been released. And it's awesome. Best watched cold... With a cold beer anyway.

TWIN PEAKS: THE COMPLETE MYSTERY
Twin Peaks returned with an astounding third season earlier this year, so what better gift than the complete mystery up until now - the original two seasons, the new revival season, and even the prequel Fire Walk With Me. Now, that is cinema gift-giving at its PEAK. See what I did there?

BOOKS:
THE ART AND SOUL OF BLADE RUNNER 2049
Blade Runner 2049 is a criminally under-seen film, it's one of the best science-fiction films ever and The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049 takes you into the film's production loaded with concept art, storyboards, the making of, and so much more. It's almost as gorgeous as the film's leading man, Ryan Gosling. Almost. But not quite. Still, it's a gorgeous book for a gorgeous film.

BACKWARDS AND IN HEELS: THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF WOMEN WORKING IN FILM
Film critic and all around swell gal, Alicia Malone's book is an inspiring and thought-provoking read about the past, present and future of women working in the film industry. It's an essential read. And at a time with these sexual allegations coming out against industry giants, it's more important now than ever before.
You can buy it here.
A LIFE IN PARTS
Bryan Cranston is a treasure, there's no denying it. If you try to deny it, you are just wrong. His autobiography A Life in Parts is hilarious and genius and tells the story of how Cranston made his legacy. No, it's not a guide on how to make meth (but do that next please, Walt;on behalf of a friend).

It's what it says on the tin. This is a cookbook for movie lovers; featuring recipes of all your favourite film foods.

But not the actual Blu-Rays, no, that's gross. The foods from what you watch.
