You may have noticed that we’ve gone a little review-happy over the past few days here at SciFi Mafia; there are two reasons for that, and they’re both good. One, we’ve been getting a lot of great things to review as the holidays approach, and two, we wanted to get these reviews posted for you before the Big Shopping Onslaught begins.
In fact, we’ve gathered the reviews for the year all together for you in an easy reference list below that we are calling the SciFiMafia.com Shop From Your Recliner Blu-ray/DVD, Soundtrack, and Book Gift Guide 2013. It’s a list of links to all of the movie and TV Blu-rays, DVDs, and soundtracks, and books we reviewed this year, followed by the star rating. Click on the link and you’ll see the review, and at the bottom of the review is an Amazon ordering link.
If you click on the Amazon ordering links, you will not only be purchasing some wonderful gifts, and be tossing some support over here to SciFi Mafia – THANKS, WE LOVE YOU – but you’ll be giving and receiving what Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow so charmingly called “more treasures from the Amazon”. It’s even better if you say it with a British accent.
Review links are listed newest to oldest within each format. Ready? Begin!
