The Parasit DVD was free because the Used DVD store misplaced it into another one of my cases.
John Saxon = The most underrated actor ever!
If only someone could see their way clear to release a version of PARASITE in the original 3D. It makes the pipe in the gut scene that much more vivid.
<sigh>
That is a good haul and - wow, how did I miss that "Hands of Steel" was out on DVD? (Even as part of a set.) Another thing for my wish list. I swear, this forum is not good for me on so many levels.
Yeah, it's not so good to be addicted to buying DVDs (but hey, it beats being a druggie and an alcoholic, right?!). I just got these fine discs the other day:
Godzilla Raids Again (Classic Media has truly made up for their past offenses against Godzilla)
Mothra Vs. Godzilla (Ditto)
Phantasm (new anchor bay release)
Phantasm III (Ditto)
Revenge of the Nerds: Atomic Wedgie Collection (all 4 flicks for 20 bucks!)
The Tingler
Tommy Boy (Holy Schnike Edition)
That's all I'm allowed to get this month, and more than I really wanted, but you know how it goes. Once you start buying, you just can't seem to stop..... :buggedout:

I had picked up the "Godzilla Raids Again" via Classic Media's mail order a few months ago when the delay was announced for the retail release. What a great print of that movie! It was even better than the Japanese LD I had. I am going to have to get their "Godzilla vs. Mothra" release as well.
Congrats on the Tingler! I love Vincent! Hopefully I will get these movies in a couple of days:
A Night to Dismember
Santa Claus (old 1960's version)
Dark Universe
Morons From Outer Space
and other assorted gems
Thanks for reminding me about INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS. I bought it a few years ago when it was originally released on DVD. I'll need to dust it off and watch it again soon. Highly entertaining.

QuoteI swear, this forum is not good for me on so many levels.
Since joining this forum I've been compelled to buy:
A SOUND OF THUNDER
Drive In Movie 50 Pack
THE ALIEN FACTOR/FIEND Dohler Double Feature
NIGHTBEAST
The Blood Island Vacation Collection
CRIMINALLY INSANE/CRAZY FAT ETHEL II/SATAN'S BLACK WEDDING: Nick Millard Triple Feature (stream of consciousness purchase)
Where do I send the bill? :twirl:
(http://www.dvdinmypants.com/reviews/O-V/images/crim1.jpg)
You'd have to be CRIMINALLY INSANE to star in a Nick Millard movie!
Wow a lot of those DVD colors have got the good posters on them. Even a movie as lame as Zoltron has a pretty neat one (okay I've only heard it, not actually seen)
Holy crap I forgot all about the Raids Again and Mothra DVD's.
Must get!
Andrew, indeed the picture quality of Classic Media's Godzilla releases is fantastic. They've definitely come a long way since that "Ultimate Godzilla Collection" DVD boxed set that featured lousy prints of "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," "Godzilla vs. Mothra," "Godzilla's Revenge," "Terror of Mechagodzilla," and "Rodan." (Actually the video quality was alright with those discs, but the "5.1 Audio" really left much to be desired.) I look forward to Classic Media's upcoming releases of "Ghidrah - The Three-Headed Monster" and "Invasion of the Astro-Monster" (a.k.a. Godzilla vs. Monster Zero)!
Oldskool, I agree 100% that John Saxon is one of the most underrated actors of all time. I did an article about him for Rogue Cinema a few years back. I had hoped to find more info about the man, but sadly I couldn't. In the end, the final product became a lengthy recap of his career and all the various roles he has played. You can read that here (http://www.roguecinema.com/article-75--0-0.html) if you're interested.
Raffine, I see that A Sound of Thunder is on your DVD list. I bought it out of curiosity (seeing as how it was in theaters for less than a month and later made a quiet debut on DVD) and didn't really think it was all that great. The idea behind the film was cool, but I guess I wanted to see more creatures, death and destruction. (Repto-Baboons?! You have to be kidding me!) What'd you think of it?
Evan, thanks, I've never had the pleausure of watching all of the Tingler (I saw half of it on HBO over a decade ago and didn't know how it all ended up until I read my buddy Duane's review for it at B-Movie Central. Out of curiosity, is that Santa Claus movie you got the one Mexican made flick with Pitch, the evil satanic imp that is trying to ruin Christmas?
I haven't been on any DVD sprees in a bit. I think the last things I picked up were Cujo and The Devil's Backbone.
Jordon, my interest in A SOUND OF THUNDER was brought on by a photo of one of those baboon-dino things being posted in the 'Guess That Movie" thread.
It was no surprise to me this was a disappointing take on Ray Bradbury's terrific short story. It felt to me like there were some serious problems while making this one and a visit to imdb confirmed this. Not only did the original pruducers go bankrupt, the sets were severely damaged during the"Great Prague Flood of 2002".
What made me want to throw a brick at the TV and moved this film into its own special little place in my heart was how awful the effects were in some shots (some weren't too bad), the headache inducing time travel theories, and gaping plot holes (If they kept going back to the same dino death why didn't they run into themselves? That one guy was able to go back and warn himself. Why did the 'time waves' only seem to reach to the top of the buildings? Why were the modern buildings still there after the last wave? Why didn't the time waves start in the machine that created them, etc. etc. etc.!).
But mostly it was that furry thing, whatever it was, on Ben Kingsley's head.

I didnt get it but it is the one with Pitch the satanic imp.
I picked up: Eating Raoul.
In the $3.88 bin in WalMart today.
I haven't seen this one in 20 years or better...
I remember enjoying it.
But we'll See...
Oh, I loved that one! That makes me want to run off to WalMart here and see if I can find a copy........

I cant believe I got this!
I haven't gone too crazy with DVD's lately, but I picked up All Quiet On the Western Front 'cause Best Buy had it for $7.50 (and I had a gift card with about 3 bucks left on it), and at Wal-Mart I got Candyman and Men In Black (they mostly had the DTS editions but I found a limited edition one with a poster, and lots of extra crap and it's also in a neat black box) from the $4.88 display. I'm thinking of returning Candyman 'cause I just found out that it's an edited version. The newer special edition isn't that expensive, anyway.

I've got the 3-disc deluxe edition of Black Hawk Down. I'm perfectly happy with that as I've heard that the footage put back into the extended cut was done without Ridley Scott's approval.
Money's been tight for me lately so I've been holding off buying any new DVD's, which isn't that much of an issue as I already have a little over 700.
There's still stuff I need to watch That I own already anyway, so I'll just wait until this fall when my money won't be as tied up.

"EEEEYOOP! EEEEYOOP! EEEEEEEEEEEEYOOP!" this 'Preylien" seems to say.
Appropriately, it came in a filthy, smelly envelope that was almost impossible to open.
The DVD case itself had a big red "USED" sticker on it and looked like somebody had stomped on it in a fit of uncontrolled rage... but unfortunately the DVDs inside were perfectly fine. :hatred:

I got that about a month ago and didnt like it too much. The most enjoyable feature for me would have to be the Dinosaur Island one. I guess im not partial to movies shot on a digital camera.
I have also gotten:

That's pretty funny, since that's probably more than the movie cost to make. :smile:
Surprise! It was the next to last film by the legendary
Andy Milligan. By the early 80's he had moved to L.A. and made four more of his typically eye-cramping movies. They're all possibly (if such a thing is possible) even worse than the movies he made on Staten Island in the '70s. One of these days I should really try to find a copy of THE WEIRDO (1989).
MONSTROSITY actually had a couple of "real" actors starring along side Milligan's usual gang of prostitutes, drug addicts, and street people. It also features his long-time (and perhaps only) friend Haal Borske as "Frankie". After a fairly gory beginning it appears Milligan completely switched gears and decided to attempt to make this a comedy instead, I guess to try and cash in on the 'teen buddy' comedy craze. Just like they added some rats (and changed the title) to THE RATS ARE COMING! THE WELEWOLVES ARE HERE! to try to ride the coattails of WILLARD.
SPOILER ALERT! This one ends up very strangely, with 'Frankie' sitting on at a bus stop discussing the meaning of life with a real homeless woman.
Borske cotributed a hilarious commentary to the 'Something Weird' release of THE GHASTLY ONES. He composed the music for the DVD's photo album, too.
I got this double feature from Best Buy:

Ive been looking for this for years! Anyone who hasnt heard the Jerky Boys stuff, should really check into it. Sadly, the tape is a demo tape so that an annoying message in on the screen every 5 minutes.
"The Brainiac" is a nutzo piece of cinema. I am not certain what release that is that you posted the cover for, but I upgraded from an older release to the Casanegra one and the new DVD is ten times better in terms of quality.
I got the Front Row Entertainment release only because I have been meaning to see it and it was only 2 dollars. I plan on getting the Casanegra release soon.
