A very happy day for me personally today.

La Femme Nikita has finally been freshly listed for pre-order by Sony Pictures, scheduled for a December 2nd, 2008 release.

If I had to choose one, I would say that this is my favourite movie ever.

While this French language movie isn’t perfect, I feel the ‘rough edges’ lend it credibility.

Retail will be $28.95, the Amazon price - only $20.95.

I see that Amazon has a couple of promotions going right now that has a number of titles available for less than $14.

The first promotion is cleverly titled ‘Save on Blu-ray Discs as Low as $13.95‘.
