Found The Nightmare on Elmstreet complete box set today at Target for $39.99.  Not a bad deal with the $5 off coupon that was in my Sunday's paper.  Not sure if it's any cheaper anywhere is, but I haven't bothered to look.

I ordered/recieved it about a week ago from DeepDiscount for about $36. Now if only the "Friday the 13th" set would come down. It needed to come down a lot sooner, prices on both.

The "F" word actually turned me away from this movie. It just seemed to have cheapened it entirely.

I'm not very familiar with this guy but from what I've seen, he doesn't LOOK like a Bond!

Well, he was the only decent thing (IMO) about "Layer Cake", and was in the first "Tomb Raider". He's going to need some mega supporting cast, because otherwise he's the 21st century George Lazenby. Some virtual unknown who did a Bond film then got ousted.

Yeah, 19 minutes longer and possibly a Digitally Remastered transfer.

I'm fairly positive ther'll end up being a "KoH" Extended/Director's Cut in the near future.

As for "Serenity", 12/20/05 looks to be the most popular guesstimate.

They share the same UPC, but there's a pretty big difference, mainly the reason for the recall, being the 9 minute cross dressing documentary that was removed at the request of Tim Burton. The way to distinguish the two is in the spine. The recalled version has a gray spine, white letters, and pink trim. The regular release has a black spine, white letters, and pink trim. The actual deleted feature isn't mentioned on the back of the cover art, either.

I bought both "Ed Wood" and "My Neighbor Totoro" for $30 combined. Ended up selling "Totoro" and that covered the $25 I spent on "Ed Wood", and then some. I'm just storing the DVD. It's sealed, and I just bought it because the opportunity was there. It sells for about as much as the regular release does at retail, now.

YOINK!

 "H" is a pretty good movie, I bought "Stacy" the other day for $3.99 and love it, and "Evil Dead Trap" may be a blind buy pretty soon here.

Save your money - it was okay, but utterly unspectacular.

It was free. Out of everything that was available, it came down to either that or "Powder" for the freebie.

Amazon.com is having a pretty nice sale on some J-Horror titles. Up to 66% off!!!

I just picked up quite a few movies, some I've never heard of. But for $5.99 each, I just couldn't say no  ::)

Up to 66% off J-Horror

Deep Discount is having a big sale on Anchor Bay Horror titles. It started on the 1st, which was then the "Book of the Dead" 2 pack was announced, so I hopped on it, and pre-ordered the set for $33/shipped.

As for re-releasing the original "Book" singularly, nobody knows.

.. or via help by phone which maybe your best bet and hopefully someone at there Customer Service Center can help you.  :-\


The irony in that is that, in my experiences, getting someone on the phone is harder than via e-mail. You'd think me, having been a PayPal customer since January of 2001 would get top billing. But nooooo.

No advice, other than that makes absolutely no sense. The best thing to do would be for you to either cancel the payment, reclaim it, have them cancel the payment, reclaim it, then just re-send it as quasi-cash, with no specified amount for shipping.

If there wasn't an actual invoice, shipping and handling isn't segregated from the total cost on an invoice.

Michale Graves' solo album, incase you can't read the arboreally encrypted title. Granted, it's nowhere near the quality of his days with The Misfits, but the horror punk sound is still pretty solid. Hopefully I'll be seeing him live 10/16 here in Minneapolis.

The Amityville Horror (2005)

"Suicide Club" is an odd movie. I saw that a year or so ago, it's more of a parody on how pop music influences todays teens, with glam rockers that like to hang out at bowling alleys.

I saw "Man With the Screaming Brain" this past Saturday on DVD, (got a PT job at Hollywood Video), and I couldn't stand it.. Don't see much re-watch value in it. Same for "Alien Apocalypse". Also saw "The Interpreter". Pretty boring and anti-climactic a la "The Manchurian Candidate" (2004), however, "My Summer of Love" was excellent.

BTW, if you're looking to get into Cronenberg, don't buy "Rabid". It's one of his worst, and that's pretty much public opinion. I'd recommend "The Brood" if you've never seen it. It's easily one of his best, and is better than half the Horror/Sci Fi out there today, even at 25 years old.

I'll end up renting "Kicking and Screaming" and "Kingdom of Heaven" on Thursday to review, while "Unleashed" and "Haute Tension" have been on my wishlist ever since I saw them.

Always seems we split right down the middle, eh, Rob. Like 1/2, don't like the other, lol.

I dont' see anything to suggest that the second link I posted is a bootleg - the guy has over 400 positive feedbacks and says it's from his personal collection.

But either way - I'd rather have a 20 dollar copy than a $100.00 dvd of a movie that can be had in a double feature disc and will in all probability see a re-release sometime in the next year.

But if you're happy, I'm happy.

Well, I meant the first seller, namely, because I asked about their copies of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000: The Movie", that was, before I got this one, and of course, no answer. Another  seller was kind enough to admit to it being a DVD-R.

Region 0's DVD's are crap shoots, really. Image Entertainment lost their licenses for both TIE and MST3K, having let their contract on them expire in the same year (2001), thus becoming discontinued. If the day does come where either of these become obsolete by way of re-issue, I'll be the first to know, and I don't think I'll have a hard time flipping them, either. MST3K likely won't EVER happen due to it being pulled for license expiration and unresolved MSRP issues with Universal (ironically featuring "This Island Earth").

I'm far beyond happy, I've been fortunate enough to finally obtain two of both my, and 1,000's of other serious DVD collectors, most sought after discs of all time. I don't have interest in Criterion's "Salo" or "The Killer", so I can now die happy ecstatic. $100 is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
