Why aren’t films of video games ever good? Because the boys in the back room are adapting the wrong goshdarned games, that’s why!

BARNEY’S VERSION starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways) is released on DVD / Blu-Ray this May. We have 3 x BARNEY’S VERSION Blu-Rays to give away! Competition ends 27 June 2011.

Reader! Would you like to be able to write convincing clichés about films which are genuinely able to inspire laughter and tears in successive heartbeats? If you would, please keep your sordid phrases well away from Barney’s Version, a work of art which will stay with you long after the lights go up. An uncommonly captivating tale with memorable performances all round, it is superb.

And Colin won Best Actor. Well done Colin. We love you.
