One of the most sought-after Chrissy presents this year will likely be this fabbo Quentin Tarantino blu-ray set, celebrating 20 years of the former video clerk’s filmmaking output. Sadly, his cameo in “Sleep With Me” – in which he explains why “Top Gun” was a film tailor-made for the Mardi Gras brigade – hasn’t been slapped onto the extras section of any of the discs. Still, should be a good set!
