MOVIE HAUL (DVD / BLU-RAY / VHS Purchases) 2012

New Year, New Thread.

Just ordered these films on DVD online for a sum of 98 pence each:

Basic
Under Suspicion

By the way it's "Blu-ray" not "Blue-ray"

Apollo 18
The Hangover Pt. II blu-ray

Wargod

The first new DVDS I've bought in a long long time:

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN
CHILLERAMA

Finally found Child's Play on blu-ray for cheap.

90's era Gamera trilogy on Blu-Ray

Apocalypse Now deluxe edition blu-ray. Have had my eye on getting it for a bit and finally scored one at a great price. Can't wait to break it open this weekend and give it a view. One of my all-time favorites.

That's one of my favorite movies too, but honestly, after watching the deluxe director's cut version, you'll understand why 2 very long, pretty pointless scenes were cut from the theatrical release. But there is some decent Playboy Bunny titty in there. So you got that going for it.

Contagion
Final Destination 5

Wargod

On Wednesday evening, I bought The Expendables: Extended Director's Cut on Blu-Ray.

Yeah that French villa scene just drags everything down. Plus it seems so out of place where it comes in the movie. I'm still amazed at how awesome it looks on blu-ray. Sometimes I wonder about whether such upgrades really add anything, but in this case it is so worth it. Onto Heart Of Darkness now. I actually saw that before I'd ever seen the actual movie.


From Target I picked up Inglorious Bastards on blu-ray. Had a gift card and figured why not.

Sorry I missed this earlier. I think those 3 Gamera movies are way better than the Godzilla movies from the same era.

I bought A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors this morning.

My first DVD purchase of the year:

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

Great choice, Fields!

Dream Warriors is far and away my favorite in the series. Probably in my top ten horror list too.


From Hastings picked up Twisted Sister - The Video Years for .99 cents.

My copy came today. I'll watch it once I finish the final season of Babylon 5 - about 9 episodes to go.

Uncommon Valor is the only one that I haven't seen, really looking forward to watching it!

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (Blu-Ray).

The Box (blu-ray)

How is that? The premise (as I remember it) intrigued me. Random couple receives a box with a button in it that will kill someone in the world but give them big bucks, right?

"I" loved it, MANY people just don't get it.

It was written and directed by Richard Kelley (Donnie Darko). If you liked Donnie Darko you'll probably love it, if you hated that movie you'll probably hate it.

It's based on a Richard Matheson short story, but alot of the plot is a new creation. It's very surreal...but that's why I loved it.
