Weekly RoundUp 3/22/05 (1 Viewer)

[Carlo_M]

Wow, what is up with Best Buy's refusal to loss leader Finding Neverland? Especially when Circuit City is $5 cheaper! Sounds like it's time for me to pick up the Sunday paper and pricematch...

 

[Al (alweho)]

Don't forget that this Tuesday MGM will also release another batch of Midnite Movies Double Features as BestBuy exclusives in the U.S.. Titles include:

LAST MAN ON EARTH/PANIC IN YEAR ZERO
VOODOO ISLAND/THE FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE
THE MINI-SKIRT MOB/CHROME AND HOT LEATHER
MORONS FROM OUTER SPACE/ALIEN FROM L.A.
DIE MONSTER DIE!/THE DUNWICH HORROR
WAR-GODS OF THE DEEP/AT THE EARTH’S CORE
TALES OF TERROR/TWICE TOLD TALES

And the one I've been waiting for to finally complete my Beach Party/Frankie & Annette set:

FIREBALL 500/THUNDER ALLEY

All are priced at about $10, and the fun DVD Drive-In Site has a complete listing of features and cover art.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Star Wars: Clone Wars for me this week. Thanks as always Mike and Patrick.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Never! Not even close!

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

Thanks for the great roundup again, Mike. Just "Pimp My Ride: Season 1" for me this week.

Just kidding...on second thought I think I'll pass on that and check out Finding Neverland and Being Julia.

 

[Jim Saunders]

There are ALOT of catalouge items to choose from this week. I will def. be getting both Star Wars and Harry Potter movies that I have on VHS.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Thanks for the roundup.

 

[Craig S]

Exactly the same thing I was thinking, except (at least in our paper) the CC ad doesn't mention the $14.99 price for Finding Neverland - it just says "low price" or something like that.

What's even odder is BB loss-leading Being Julia instead of Finding Neverland. A real head-scratcher for sure.

 

[Nick T Robot]

I've read that this is just the Teaser Trailer (not even the new Full Length Trailer that was shown on the OC a couple weeks ago)

Does anyone have confirmation of this?

 

[Moises]

These First Season Starter things are basically the first few episodes of a show on one disc for cheap to hook people into buying into the sets.

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

Bring me the DVD of Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia...

...and probably Clone Wars.

Thanks, Mike & Pat!

 

[John Gido]

Does anyone have any B&M pricing on "Dutch" w/Ed O'Neill? This is a guilty pleasure of mine. Anchor Bay had the release date as 3/8 but, both BB & CC web sites had it as a pre-order being released on 3/22.

 

[Scott_J]

John, according to their Web sites, BB & CC are both selling Dutch for $12.99 but of course prices may be different in store. I'd expect Wal-Mart to sell it for anywhere from $10-12 dollars, if they carry it.

 

[Tim Glover]

Neverland and Clone Wars for me.

 

[josh4040]

I didn't see it mentioned on the roundup, and I hadn't heard of it till I got an email from the John Grisham mailer but John Grisham has a new movie coming to DVD tomorrow about a little league player and it looks good it is called Mickey. Link to amazon for mickey
Anyone see this movie, it looks good.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

At any rate, Being Julia is an excellent presentation of an excellent film. Look for an official review here sometime in the next couple of days.

 

[Randy B A]

Does that sound like the spanish version of the year without a santa claus to anybody

 

[Patrick Sun]

"I'm Mister One Hundred and One"

 

[Craig S]

Good to hear, I do want to check it out. I hope no one misconstrued my comment as a dig on Being Julia; it just didn't make much of a dent at the box office and is not really loss leader material (especially at Best Buy, which really caters to the young male demographic).

 

[Malcolm R]

Are you saying Mike and Pat are "Misers"?
