In anticipation of Father's Day on June 19th, we see the usual mix of sales on catalog action films and some nice price drops on recent releases for dad: Deadpool and The Revenant, anyone?!?

Happy shopping!

And thanks in advance for the likes to this week's OP...and for all the likes of RoundUps past!

Screw everything about Paramount trying to charge $48 for these new Star Trek re-releases. Completely scummy.

It's down to $43 on Amazon btw mike. Still, should be $19.99 each. I plead with my fellow 4K supporters not to pay these criminal prices.

 

[Sam Posten]

Also Lionsgate has been pretty good about supporting 4K, why aren't;t these knuckleheads releasing London Has Fallen day and date?

DUMB.

 

[TravisR]

Awesome week for me. I'll be picking up Jaws 2, Jaws 3, Jaws: The Revenge, 10 Cloverfield Lane and The X-Files: Season Ten.

Nice to them all relatively reasonably priced too.

Thanks for the prices, Mike!

 

[Todd Erwin]

Best Buy will have both Star Trek 4Ks for $29.99 each.

 

[Matt Hough]

Thanks for the prices, Mike.

I did put up the review for The League: The Final Fantasy last night. It's here. I'll have the review for Here Comes Mr. Jordan up as soon as I get the disc in the player and watch it. I'm also waiting on Eddie the Eagle and The X-Files. (And the Twilight Time releases, of course).

The home video distribution is with Universal which hasn't released a 4k title yet.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Thanks, Mike. I may pick up Jaws 2 once the price drops to $10 or less, but nothing else interests me this week.

I've got a bunch of lions gate UHDs already, so not sure what you mean.... Expendables, Enders etc....

[Tony J Case]

Oh yeah, here comes da Jaws! Dun-da-dun-da-dun-da. . . .

Also - vaguely tempted by the Conan 2 pack, although I already have Destroyer. Still need the first one tho.

Not to speak for Scott but he's saying that Universal has the home video distribution rights (and Lion's Gate only had the theatrical distribution rights).

 

[Jason_V]

It is with an absurd amount of enthusiasm that I'm looking forward to Jaws 2, 3 and 4. I'm getting the bunch for about $25. This is going to be a great way to start the summer.

And remind myself to stay out of the water...

I should be more embarrassed to say that, despite it being awful, I've become a fan of Jaws 3.

It's goofy fun and lets me relive some great memories from a long time ago.

I have the two disc complete score playing right now...

Yeah, nostalgia plays a big part for me but setting aside what doesn't work with the movie, there are some effective parts (Overman locking the gate underwater, the two guys poaching, FitzRoyce getting eaten, sexy Lea Thompson, Louis Gossett saying "You're talking about some damn shark's mother?!") which is more than I can say for Jaws: The Revenge.

I got the Jaws 3 two-disc soundtrack too. The recently released Jaws 2 soundtrack is fantastic.

 

[Jake Lipson]

As usual, thanks for your work, Mike. Nothing for me this week.

 

[Sam Posten]

OK but why does Lionsgate retain the home rights on LHF but not their other titles? Please, if you guys know WTF is going on here explain the whole thing instead of expecting us to fill in the blanks.

 

[B-ROLL]

Mike, if you take your picture taking device to Target - be sure to have plenty of memory! There are white sales tags posted all over the media area. I picked-up the Target exclusive version of "The Big Short' for $10.00. (& "Bridge of Spies" for $17.99)

 

[Carlo_M]

The only way I'll spring for the Star Trek UHDs are at BB for $29.99. As much as I love those films, I'm not paying $47.99 for them (or any other, short of a 4K release of the OOT, are you listening Lucasfilm? )
