I'll probably pick up THE DEPARTED this week to take advantage of the sales. It was released on DVD today and it is still playing in theatres. Hopefully, it will win Best Picture and Marty Scorcese will bag his first and long overdue first Oscar for Best Director.

I just bought "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" for my son. That little turd is only 3 years old & he just loves that flick. For myself, I wasn't looking for it, but had always wanted it, 'Sledge Hammer!'. My most favoritist show in the whole, wide world! I hadn't seen it since my childhood, but I have such fantastic memories of this show, it's worth it, if only for the nostalgic value!

By the way, 'Sledge Hammer!' is still fantasically hilarious! The best part? They removed the stupid laugh track! Oh, this is fantastic!

Just picked up:
"The Longest Yard" '05-Loved it, & for 10 bucks, couldn't pass it up.
"Orange County"-Once again, enjoyed this one & it was cheap!
"Gremlins" Special Edition-They came out with this version right after I had already bought the bare bones one. So, I waited until it was cheap to grab it.
"Brick"-Very interesting detective story & for 10 bucks, had to have it.
"Ghost"-Bought it for my wife. I actually HATE this movie.
"Ernest Goes to Jail"-Bought it for my son. I, must admit, it's still funny to me.

I love that movie too! I think that Jack Black is so funny in that one:

"Do you want me to get naked and start the revolution?"

I just received "Hard Candy" & "Leon the Professional" Deluxe Edition in the mail. They were my rewards for signing up a friend with Columbia House. I'm getting a tad bit upset that EVERYTIME I purchase a movie, they come out with a "Special Deluxe Director's Cut Edition". This has happened with "Gremlins", "Jaws", "The 5th Element", "Leon the Professional", "Gone in 60 Seconds" '74 & 2000, "Con Air", "Gladiator", "Boyz N the Hood", "Mission:Impossible", & dozens, maybe hundreds of others! When will it end?! Luckily, I was able to get "Leon the Professional" Deluxe Edition for free this time.

I preordered it long ago and forgot about it til it arrived today: "The Addams Family" Season 2 tv show.

Rocky Balboa
Casino Royale
Blood Diamond

Woo-hoo! Season 2 of "Twin Peaks" arrived today.

Picked up a used copy of A Scanner Darkly and a new copy of The Natural.

I just got:
"Payback" Director's Cut
"Fargo"
"Spider-Man" the 3-Disc Deluxe Edition
"Crash" (2005) Director's Cut
"Superman: The Movie" 4-Disc Deluxe Edition
"Saw 2" Uncut
"Saw 3" Unrated

I also pre-ordered "Spider-Man 2.1" & "Ghost Rider" Extended Cut! That's all for now. I've already been yelled at by my wife for spending over $100 on DVD's, but I HAD to have 'em ! I really did get a deal on these. After pre-ordering "Ghost Rider" I got 60% off of every DVD! "Superman" is over $40 in most places & I got it for $20! "Spider-Man" is over $30 & I got it for $8! All the others ranged from $3 to $8, that's a hell of a deal ! Over $200 in DVD's for $129!

But where is American Splendor in all of that list M_B? You have to get that movie, like now!

Actually, FKA, I ordered it off of eBay & it hasn't arrived, yet! I'll be seeing it soon enough!

"American Splendor" just arrived!!!!!!!!! I would sooo leave this guy negative feedback, because I paid for 2 day shipping & it took 2 flippin' weeks, but I got it through my mom's eBay account & she's a big seller. She's afraid that if she leaves him negative feedback, he'll leave her negative freedback. So, he'll get away with this rip-off! I'm watchin' this baby tonight & I'll let ya know what I thought of it, FragileKidA !

I thought I would make a little list of gems found down the street with me friendly neighbourhood bootlegger (Interpol, close yr eyes) :
Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain

Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy

Cassavete's The Killing of a Chinese Bookie

Verdict on Auschwitz

Altman's Thieves Like Us

Devil Times Five

I'm gonna miss this place......allow me to say that normally I buy officially released films (at stratospheric import prices), but whats a boy to do, momma??

It finally arrived- The Classic Sci-fi Ultimate Collection. Featuring Tarantula, The Mole People, The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Monolith Monsters and Monster On the Campus. Cool!

I await in incendiary anticipation.

Korean release of Pans Labirynth. And Casino Royale Blu-Ray thanks to Sony and registering my PS3

Just got another shipment, but "Pan's Labyrnith" wasn't in with it, so I guess it'll be here tomorrow. Here's hoping! As for the others, since I paid full price for "Pan" I got the others for around 6-9 bucks so I grabbed a few I've wanted just for collector's sake, not really 'cuz they were great flicks. So, don't judge my tastes too harshly!

"Apt Pupil"- One of my favorite Singer movies after "The Usual Suspects".

"The Relic- I liked the concept, but when they caught the monster on fire at the end, it looked like the fire from "The Lawnmower Man". I don't think that was what they were aiming for.

"Serenity"- Loved the movie, but couldn't order 'Firefly'! Dag-nab-it! I've gotta get the series from somewhere else!

"Superman II"- A sequel that was better than the original! Because I have the 4-disc set of the first movie, I learned that these two were shot at the same time! However they let Donner go before he could finish production on the second. However, they are releasing a "Donner Cut" version of part 2, so I guess I'll be geting that, too.

"Supergirl"- I only got this because it's a comic book movie & I'm collecting all the ones I can. I've never seen it, but I heard it wasn't that great. After buying "Elektra", though, my goal went from getting GOOD CMB's to ALL CMB's, 'cause "Elektra" stunk monkey butt! But, hey, Helen Slater was adorable in the 80's! I wonder where she is now.

Well, this brings me to 762 DVD's total. I actually beat my goal of 100 movies a year by buying OVER 200 last year! With this shipment I had to promise the wife I wouldn't order anymore movies for awhile, but it's just so easy!!!! I had to show her that I pre-ordered a couple of movies so that when they show up in a few weeks, she won't think I ordered more behind her back. Man, why can't she be as big on movies as I am?
