I am curious what DVDs you have bought based only on word of mouth, an Epstein review, Digital Bits review, IMDB summary, just because, etc.
Were you pleasantly surprised, or did you have pangs of regret after only seeing the first few minutes?
What is your 'batting average' on blind purchases? (good vs. lousy vs. mediocre)
I bought quite a few using an Epstein review, or checking 'DVD Verdict'. And if both sources say it is a good one it almost always is to me.
If it sounds like a movie that I might like, I'll buy it blind, but I always check reviews first. I find Roger Ebert's taste in movies is fairly close to mine, although we part ways on some interesting ones.
