Hambone Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for voting The guy that runs the site has fought long and hard for all new movies to have subtitles and the cinemas to show them. We have been able to see 99% of all new movies with subs over the last couple of years. It has made a hugh difference to my daughters life. Tonight it's Hangover at Wester Hailes which looks good.
