Yup, it’s that time again: This week’s MSN DVD column features my annual Holiday Gift Guide, and just because I’ve been writing these for two freakin’ decades now*, I thought I’d change things up a little. You’ll see what I mean when you read it.

Oh, and as long as we’re on the topic of gifty things, HMV Canada is selling the magnificent “Murnau, Borzage and Fox” boxed set — originally released at a suggested retail price of $269.98 — for just $89.99. Grab that sucker while you can; you can check local availability here.

Also, the Toronto Film Critics Association has announced its awards for 2011, which might interest you. Or possibly they’ll just make you grumble. Such is life.
