    Crazy CostCo Sales

    I blind bought the 40 year old virgin for 13.49 after the sale. The film was worth that price. i liked it. The Simpsons was 30.49 by me with the 15 dollar discount. Incredible price! I was almost ready to pay 40 for it.

    Dawn of the Dead and it's four discs. C'mon now. Loaded.

    LAND OF THE DEAD dvd

    I think it had the soul of Night, Dawn and Day, but yes the length was a problem. Those three films are all pretty much two hours each. The unrated Dawn being the longest of them all, at 142 minutes. It's also the best of the four if you ask me.

    Weekly RoundUp 6/28/2005

    If anyone is a fan of British humor/sticoms or Shaun of the Dead, I highly suggest Danger! 50000 volts. It's a British sitcom starring Nick Frost (Simon Pegg's real life best friend and Shaun of the Dead co-star). Nick basically tells the audience how you'll be able to survive all these...

    Land of the Dead (2005)

    The movie was better than I thought it would be. The trailer and it's heavy metal music only made me assume the worst. Because, you see, everything wrong about horror cinema is depicted in Dawn of the Dead 04. And the trailer for LOTD looked like it was appealing to DOTD 04 fans. So I was not...

    *** Official MR. AND MRS. SMITH Review Thread

    The main bulk of the film was entertaining. The very end was terrible. It's worth 16 dollars the week it comes out if its got an audio commentary or a deleted scene.

    Mr. Bean Animated Series

    The aspect ratio really doesn't matter much on an animated show such as this. Rarely is it an issue on these DVDs. I own them. They're funny. If you like Bean, buy 'em and forget that they are in the wrong aspect ratio...because it really makes no difference.

    Land of the Dead (2005)

    Supposibly the subtext for this film is the War in Iraq. This is far from official though...I just heard it from a close friend who knows a few people who work in the horror movie industry.

    need advice on a cheap player for college

    I vote Magavox MDV455 also. Hell, I went out and bought a back up around 6 months ago. That's how good that DVD player is. Ebay it. Best Buy/Circuit City only sell the MDV456 now, which you cannot hack.

    Chappelle's Show: Season 2 Uncensored

    I think S-1 is the best selling tv show on DVD of all time. With the Family Guy right behind it.

    Chappelle's Show: Season 2 Uncensored

    I caught this show a few times on Comedy Central. One night I was watching and they aired a skit that was something like "If Grand Theft Auto was real" and it had to be one of the funniest things I've seen on TV in a long time. Is that skit on this DVD?

    Battle Royale 2 Region-Free?

    I got curious about this film once too. I just ebayed myself a copy. I really wish I didn't. It honestly is as bad as they all say it is. But yeah, curiousity kills that cat. Bad word of mouth isn't enough to not want see it (I know it wasn't for me! :D) so good luck finding it.

    Pyscho IV: The Beginning?

    Ugh that sounds horrible...yet I must go find it. I love unintentionally campy films...and this just sounds like a festival for camp.

    Pyscho IV: The Beginning?

    Yeah, Perkins boycotted the Bates Motel TV show. Good decision. Now, isn't it impossible to get I-IV in a box set in the US? I could have sworn Universal owned I-III and Turner owned IV. Correct me if I'm wrong...cuz I'm far from 100% on this. Not that I'd ever consider buying a box...

    Pyscho IV: The Beginning?

    Jeffrey - Just watch the shower scene. Now contrast it to any murder sequence from Psycho II or III (especially the third one). Afterwards, check out Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhatten. Which one does Psycho II, III, and IV look like? To further my argument, the film was shot...

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    They've said that? DAMMIT! Well...some of those videos are pretty embarassing now, a good 20 years later. So I can understand their position. Somewhat.

    Cracked Laserdisc Rare Please Help Fix???

    Lee - I do not have a solution to your problem, but I just wanted to say that I feel for you right now. This may sound silly, but I am a HUGE Depeche Mode fan as well and have been looking for that laserdisc for a long time. If I were to recieve it for 100 dollars (and I would pay that much)...

    Pyscho IV: The Beginning?

    OOf. I have no idea about the DVD release of this film, but I just like to express my complete and utter hatred for the Psycho sequals that turned Hitchcock's masterpiece into 1980's (Jason-esque) Slasher flicks. Just do shot comparisons of the murder scenes in Psycho vs. any of the sequals. One...

    Haute Tension - Which Version, and where to buy?

    I'm going to second (third) the edition reccomended by Dean and Donnie. My friend and I each bought this film at a Horror convention today. He got the R2, I got this. I'm satisfied with my purchase over the R2. Although the R2 has an audio commentary (in which he supposibly speaks English), the...

This coupon gets you 30% off any 1 item in either...

    Swept Away R2 (1974)

    I love this movie and would also be very interested in hearing about the quality of the R2 release. Is the R1 OOP or just bad quality?

    Saw

    Daniel - did you obtain the uncut UK disc? Or do you have the regular one that amazon has the cover art for? If you have the unrated one...can you please tell me if the cover is the same, and how the Sawed Off feature is?

    Saw

    The UK distributor is a UK only distributor I believe, and that's why it's coming out unrated. It's something to that nature. Someone posted the reason why in the Saw review forum. Either way...I'm really sick of this. It's not even like it's a substantial amount of footage...it's like 2...

    Saw

    Jean - I was considering this because it really is bull what the studio does to us nowadays...but I realized I'll probably watch this film a good 9-10 times over the next few months. I enjoyed it A LOT. lol. But by buying into the international market for this film...it hurts the US studios...

    Saw

    Damn...double the price for 2 minutes worth of footage. It's so tempting though. I really wish I could get some insight on the British release. That appears to be the next best option since for (about 40 bucks) I might as well buy the American and then double dip on the Uncensored double dip...
