I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp[/COLOR]. The titles included are those that I am interested in...as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don't get paid for this, and I don't have the time to list every DVD. So, please don't complain! If there is a title not included in the [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR] that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone!

Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR]. They set prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is no way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. And, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway).

[EricSchulz]

Boy, and the industry wonders why DVD sales are down 20%! That's a pretty weak slate of new releases by any standard. So, another "catch-up" week for me.


Thanks, guys!

 

[Matt Hough]

Go here to find my review of the Criterion Collection Two Films by Tasujiro Ozu.

 

[TravisR]

I don't know if I'll pick it up this week but I'll be getting the new Mystery Science Theater 3000 volume at some point.


Thanks for the prices, guys!

 

[Ric Easton]

I had no idea another Film Noir Collection was coming out. Sweet!

 

[Brisby]

"On sale" for $24.95, oooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[EricSchulz]

I was in Target today and The Lucy Show S2 is on the "coming attractions" sign...will post a price on Tuesday.

 

[Jason_V]

Kind of a crappy week on all fronts. Best Buy doesn't even have a whole lot of catalogue stuff on sale. I may have to check out my new favorite store (Fry's) later this week. Anyway, prolly a good thing there's nothing I want, considering just how much I've stimulated the Seattle economy in the last three days.


Thanks, as always, guys. Nice to have some touchstones after a 2300 mile move!

 

[Mike Frezon]

Hey, Jason! Good luck on the move! It will definitely be fun to be checking out all the new stores for software! I feel like I know my local stores like the back of my hand.

Maybe Adam Gregorich will be able to give you some tips on good places!

 

[Mike Frezon]

Hey, Aaron Silverman!


I finally bit the bullet and picked up an FYE Backstage Pass membership (one year for $25).


It gets you 10% off every purchase and access to e-mail coupons (routinely late $5 off any $20 purchase). The coupons are also posted in several internet sites.

I picked up a few things at an FYE store which happened to be going out of business (due to a lease problem, I was told).


Then, I saw a used copy of The Bourne Trilogy for $41.99 in a different store. Minus $4.20 for the 10% discount = $37.79. Minus $5 = $32.79 for the brand new (2010) Bourne Trilogy release.


I feel pretty good about that. And it's one of those deals where the discs and packaging look 100% new.

 

[Jason_V]

Thanks Mike! I am very much looking forward to the Seattle meet up and finally being in a place where online folks actually live. Detroit is kind of a black hole for things like that.

I did stop into Fry's on Sunday for a TV stand and three bookcases. Sad part is I need another bookcase for more movies. And to think I moved them all from Detroit in a U-Haul by myself. Yeesh!

 

[Mike Frezon]

As long as you've got all those shiny discs and something to play them on...you should be good to go.


You can always run out and get ketchup and furniture later!

I have added a number of links in the OP to reviews of new titles released this week.

Nice, I also just picked up a copy The Bourne Trilogy from an Amazon seller, brand new for $37.95, and the uk-labelled box set of Band of Brothers new for $39.95...


I saw Best Buy had the BD of From Paris with Love last week for $17.99, almost bought it... I thought the movie was fairly good, or at least entertaining... I liked the humor. Nothing interests me this week...

 

[Mike Frezon]

Troy:


Nice to see that Bourne set finally drop in price, eh?


I thought I had been told that the "new' version of the Trilogy released a few weeks ago had the new flipper discs in it. But it doesn't. Just the straight-up BD discs.

Updated again. I like this. It acts as a "one-stop shopping" for those interested in some of the titles posted in each week's WRU.


Currently linked-to above are reviews to:


DVD

Film Noir Classic Collection: Volume 5

MST3K: Volume XVIII

Two Films By Ozu (CC)


Blu-ray

Chloe

Insomnia

Yes, I could have bought the separate Bourne flipper discs over the past months for slightly more $$ than the box set i got, but I didn't want flippers... whether they would play fine in my Oppo or not, I just don't like the idea of them.
