For me, Alien Resurrection is fairly decent until the lame ending but even with that ending, I still don't think it's half as bad as Alien 3. Everyone loves David Fincher (myself included) but his later work doesn't make Alien 3 suck any less.

Mike:


I don't say it enough. Thanks for maintaining this list week in and week out.


I am in the same boat as others. Would love to own the Alien and BTTF sets but just can't justify the expense.

Thanks, Parker.


Amazon has dropped the price on that Chaplin @ Keystone set to just $59.99!

That's a great price on "Who Is Harry Nilsson" at Best Buy. Unfortunately, none of the stores between here and St. Louis are stocking it, but even with shipping and tax, it's still around $5-$6 less than Amazon. This is well worth seeing, BTW. I caught a screening of it a couple of weeks ago, and despite being fairly straight-forward from a story-telling standpoint, it is an excellent documentary. Some very cool music performances, including Harry singing on Playboy After Dark. Highly recommended for any Nilsson fan!

My local Costco had plenty of copies of Alien Anthology and BTTF. Sure I went nuts and spent a bundle on them!

For anyone in the downtown Manhattan area, J&R apparently has the BTTF BD set for $42.99, instead of the higher price listed on their site. Oddly, I didn't spot any copies of the Alien Anthology BD set (during my late lunch break), but maybe that's also substantially lower than the site. If you want BTTF at that price from them, I'd recommend going w/in these next couple days since J&R has been known to adjust their release week pricing upward before the weekend. They also have the Winter's Bone BD for $17.99 (same as their site) for those interested. And they still have certain other BDs on sale, eg. Halloween horror flicks, modest Criterion sale, etc.


And while you're heading there, you might also consider dropping by the $15/20 DVD/BD vendor nearby on Fulton St to check out what's left of their modest clearance sale. They still had a few interesting titles at bargain prices when I checked yesterday, eg. Lives of Others for $5, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus for $10, Vivre Sa Vie (Criterion) for $15.

Best Buy has a ton of Halloween themed BD's for 12.99 including Gremlins, all Friday the 13th movies, classic Nightmare on Elm Street, Ghost Ship, Shutter, Return to the House on Haunted Hill, The Orphange and more. The store I went into had put Shutter Island on the same display. The sign didn't specify Shutter Island (only Shutter), so it's probably a mistake.
