2007 DVD Releases Thread

[Nicklab]

Looking forward to ROBOTECH:  The Shadow Chronicles which is due out next month.  I can't believe it's been 20 years since there was a new chapter in that particular saga.

[Famine]

This week I picked up:

Crank WS
Clerks WS 2 Disc
The Rundown WS
Lake Placid WS

[DSJ™]

I finally watched Superman II, The Donner cut. Absolutely amazing, well put together. 

[Rob]

Picked up Flags of Our Fathers, Running with Scissors, The Science of Sleep, and Shinobi today.

Shinobi might be terrible, but I gambled for 9.99.

I also grabbed Training Day and Ferris Bueller's Day off for 4.99 each.

I was going to pick up Hollywoodland too, but I'm guessing that it's down to $10 within 6 weeks and I'm trying to be a little smarter about picking up obvious future-cheapies at $20.

[Famine]

You and me both Rob. My local DVD store always has a sale on DVD's previously viewed, 3 for $19.99. I've always checked around for Franchise collections or box sets before I buy discs.

This week I got:

Flyboys WS
Red Dawn
The Mummy Collectors Set
The Libertine
Lucky # Sle7in
The Last Kiss

Great movies Rob - especially for $4.99.  Did you buy them at Best Buy?

[Rob]

Yeah - I usually just buy everything at Best Buy.  I do lots of price-matching.  Lets me get the good deals without driving around town, plus there's the reward zone points...

Unless you have a daughter, I doubt any of you saw Cinderella 3 from Disney, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (though it's shameless to charge that much for a 74 minute cartoon - - Baaaaaaah).  The biggest surprise was that there's going to be a Little Mermaid 3 as well. 

I wasn't surprised when Disney started doing sequels, some of them even made sense.  But this is getting ridiculous now. (more ridiculous?)

Monster Squad coming to DVD

If true, all I can say is - It's about ******* time.  I loved this movie when I was a kid.  Granted, I've haven't seen it in years and it probably hasn't aged well, but I'm looking forward to picking this up.

Yeah....even though I know my daughter would have liked it, I skipped it.  20.00 is just too much for a direct to video half-assed sequel to a movie that needed no sequel.  I would have gladly bought it for her for 10.

Kevin, what's the lo' with that Red Dawn DVD? I picked it up from Wal-Mart several years ago, for something like $8... Typical bare-bones bin, of course. Has a new edition been released without my knowing it?

Damn, can't wait for Casino Royale to be released on DVD.

Nope, bare bones edition.

Anyone know anything about the Babel 2-Disc?  It's listed in the Circuit City ad, but my local store didn't have any - neither did Best Buy (who's ad it is NOT listed in).

I haven't seen it yet and want to watch it before the Oscars... but I also don't want to get the bare bones edition.

[Darth_Anton]

Picked up the new Gandhi 2-disk set. I had held off on picking it up many times during previous releases. I'm glad I procrastinated.

It's actually better than Cinderella 2, which was a half-assed, non-sequel where Disney screws the public by stealing three of their own 20 minute cartoons and putting them together to market as a movie   This one at least is quasi-Disney-ish with songs, a plot and that crap.  It's not the worst sequel they've put out, and I can say that with confidence having seen it 20 times now.  I bought Flushed Away this week just to get a change of scenery.
