Just got back from early Black Friday shopping and - seeing as no one understands me better than ME - got some stuff for me after everyone else was taken care of... found some stuff I wanted for awhile at much-reduced rates, including some Blu-Rays! (yes, I now have a Blu-Ray player, so I splurged)

A combo of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid / The Good The Bad And The Ugly / The Magnificent Seven



The Poseidon Adventure



The Expendables



Fight Club



Combo-pack for Prometheus



And then got some good cheap DVDs:

The Adventures Of Tintin



Battle: Los Angeles



Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes



Gone With The Wind (2-disc set)



Merry Christmas to me.

This is pretty great, if you like cheap, sleazy (no nudity) crime flicks from the late 50's and early 60's. I'll admit my expectations were low, but I enjoyed all six films.



This was advertised as a bare bones release, but mine has an audio commentary, an interview with a dubbing actor, trailers and TV spots.

Hopefully this won't suck too bad

Really intrigued by that Something Weird set, and I need to get a copy of Godzilla Vs. Megalon!  Does yours have extras?  From what I understand the copies with extra features were pulled from circulation at the demand of Toho but Media Blasters got to release a bare bones version.  Some of the loaded discs still made it to retailers, though.

I told myself I wasn't gonna buy much more but I guess I can skip eating for the month.  Did some Black Friday shopping and have gotten some other good deals, so, yeah.



Blu-ray:
Breaking Bad seasons 2 & 3
The Crow
Salt - Thinking of returning this.  I wasn't too interested but my brother insisted that it's good.  Anyone seen it?
The Lookout
Blazing Saddles
The Goonies/Gremlins/Gremlins 2 set
Universal Monsters blu-ray set - Ordered this from Amazon UK for about $42 shipped!  This set is over a hundred bucks in the US for no good reason, but the UK release, which is region free and identical save for packaging and one commentary track on one of the films, retails for the equivalent of $50-60.

DVD:
Rain
Thriller: They Call Her One Eye
Mysterious Island

If you like cheap and sleazy crime flicks from that era you'll probably dig THE WEIRD NOIR, and yes I got the special edition of MEGALON. I bought it from Amazon, but it would be hit or miss as to what you would end up getting. It's just luck of the draw.

I feel the same way, I just keep telling myself that I got good deals...and that I have a small amount of savings to fall back on.   

I kinda want that gigantor Lawrence of Arabia set.  From the pictures I've seen it just looks lovely.  I haven't seen the film, though, so...

The Black Belly Of The Tarantula

Yeah, you definitely lucked out; I got the same copy at FYE today and it was just bare bones.  I still wanted a new copy of it, and was exceedingly happy with what I got, but those extras would have been sweet.

All the same, you got one great find, there.  Good on ya!

Got this for $6.50



I have no idea if it's good or not, but it stars Kristanna Loken and she's totally hot, so a whole season of her in anything should be worth $6.50.  Or so my thinking goes...

EDIT:  Oh gawd I just watched part of an episode on Youtube.  No wonder my used copy is in "like new" condition.  It's just freakin' awful.

Picked this up for $7



Must not be a very popular Bond film as all the other ones are at least $20 on Blu ray.  Oh well, I liked it  

Oh got this too

[fulci420]

Picked up 3 movies for a grand total of 3$!

Chasing Ghosts (2005)- DTV cop movie with Michael Madsen, Gary Busey and Meatloaf. Probably terrible but any movie with Gary Busey is worth 99 cents.
Hard Rain (1998)-Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater get involved in something wet!
Duel To The Death (1983)-Hong Kong swordfighting movie. Checked out some reviews and supposedly this is pretty badass.

I just ordered a DVD of Miami Connection: Lord help me.
