This time in between Christmas and New Year needs a name of it's own. It's not quite Christmas, not quite New Year, just a kind of middle ground. Some people have taken extended holidays, whilst others are back to the grindstone after a brief break.
I think that a lot of us still feel very much in the party mood, and work, although quieter for lots of us, offers a good distraction from the excesses of Christmas.
The good news is that this means that many of us can spend our evenings (or days if we are lucky enough to be off) catching up with some of the years best films. Some of our top titles of the year have included Sherlock Holmes, Avatar, Shutter Island, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and 2012.
Children and families alike have enjoyed Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief, Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. We've also got some great World Cinema options such as Heartbreakers, Lebanon and MicMacs.
New Releases this week include The Last Exorcism, Jonah Hex and the popular Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. We also have some great December releases in store, such as Knight & Day, The Last Airbender, Eclipse and Inception. So if you didn't get one of the top titles from 2010 in your stocking this year why not pop in to catch up on some fabulous films.
We are business as usual today and tomorrow and will be closing early on New Year's Eve. We'll be offering 4 films for £10 on December 31st, and the great news is you get to keep hold of them until 6th January so start 2011 with a fabulous film fest!

Snow Business
It's been a very challenging week or two for the people who live and work in and around Dunblane. This weather has been testing even the most resilient of us!
Throughout it all we have managed to stay open at Gadget Hub, albeit operating reduced hours. We even managed to open for a few hours on Sunday as promised. Deliveries are proving to be problematic, but fortunately we had pre-ordered much of our Christmas stock so are managing to supply the town with toys, collectables and independent wines. The latest releases have been delayed, but with over 1600 titles available in the shop you are bound to find a movie that suits your mood.
Our planned opening hours during this adverse weather are:
Midweek 10am - 4pm
Friday/Saturday 10am - 6pm
Sunday 12.30 - 4pm
If in doubt call us on 07725 161 837 or e-mail us shop@mygadgethub.co.uk before heading out in the cold.
We are also updating our facebook page regularly with the latest news at www.facebook.com/gadgethub
