What is claimed is: 1. A lid for a storage device having a storage film, the lid comprising: a lid body, said lid body being secured to the storage device and movable between open and closed positions to provide selective access into the storage device, the storage film being housed in the storage device; and a cutting member having a cutting surface, said cutting member movably secured to said lid body, wherein said cutting surface moves in a first direction and a second direction to cut the storage film when said lid body is in said closed position, wherein said lid body seals the storage film in the storage device when said cutting member cuts the storage film and wherein said first direction is a downward linear motion and said second direction is rotational about an axis parallel to said first direction, said cutting member having a blade sheathed in a blade finger such that the film is not cut when the cutting member is moved in the first direction, and the film is cut when the cutting member is moved in the second direction. 2. The lid of claim 1, wherein said cutting surface is movable between a first position remote from the storage film and a second position in proximity to the storage film. 3. The lid of claim 2, wherein said cutting member is biased towards said first position. 4. The lid of claim 2, further comprising a retaining member, wherein said cutting surface is retained in said second position by said retaining member until said cutting surface makes at least one cutting pass across said storage film. 5. The lid of claim 1, wherein said lid body is pivotally secured to said storage device to allow selective access to the storage film. 6. The lid of claim 1, wherein said lid body further comprises a locking mechanism that releasably engages said lid body with said storage device. 7. The lid of claim 1, wherein said cutting member comprises a first portion having a handle member and a second portion having an outer surface, and wherein said cutting surface is secured to said second portion. 8. The lid of claim 7, wherein said handle member is integrally formed with said first portion. 9. The lid of claim 7, wherein said second portion has a disc-like shape. 10. The lid of claim 9, wherein said cutting surface is disposed along an outer circumference of said outer surface. 11. The lid of claim 10, wherein said cutting surface is a plurality of cutting surfaces disposed on opposite sides along said outer circumference of said outer surface. 12. The lid of claim 1, wherein the storage film is tubular.
