Pre-ordered The Pacific (Blu-ray)

by **hoytereden** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:51 am

Plus, from B&N:
Black Orpheus (Blu-ray)
The Thin Red Line (Blu-ray)

by **Andrew Forbes** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:38 am

Seven Samurai
Black Book
Maximum Risk: despite a generic title, poor reviews and Dave's characterizing it as forgettable, I think it's Van Damme's best movie--three brutal mano-a-manos, a couple of solid chases through Nice and moments of genuine sensitivity and subtlety from JCVD. Give it another chance, Johnson!

by **Steve T Power** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 11:44 am

B&N Criterion 1/2 off mumbo jumbo:

Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
Charade
Che
Paths of Glory

Almost threw three more in there as well, but had to draw the damn line somewhere...

...And the set arrived and was promptly returned because the vendor sort of forgot to mention that it was the UK release with the cheaper packaging, which I could snag directly from Amazon.uk for around $60US (shipping included) if I was so inclined.

The local Costco stocks it for $82.50 Canadian. I' m sure you must have similar <quote>sick deals<enquote> locally.

I haven't seen it anywhere near that low at a brick 'n' mortar. But I have a $17 trade-in credit from Amazon, so I may just order it new from them (it'd be around 73 clams after the credit). Or I may wait 3-6 months to see if the price drops into the $50-$60 range. Considering the enormous amount of content in the box, I wasn't resentful of the high ticket price until I learned how cheaply our Limey brothers are able to get it (37 pounds? WTF?!).

diecut cardboard packaging is damn expensive

Cheap packaging = cheaper price i guess.

Today was a big one:
Avatar: 3 Disc
The Exorcist
Criterion
Modern Times
Anti-Christ
Night of the Hunter
Eclipse: Chantal Ackerman In the Seventies
Best part was on top of the 60% off I also had a 15% off the entire order coupon....so 75% off all the Criterion stuff. Love big sales like that.

A Christmas Carol (the Robert Zemeckis/Jim Carrey version) -- It's not the best version (the 1984 George C. Scott version is easily the cream of the crop as far as I'm concerned), but it's faithful, spooky, fun and pleasing to the eyes.

You'll dig Armored for sure, and you may like The Hurt Locker, just get the hype out of your mind first.

I watched this one for the first time a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Not a perfect comedy, but the acidic banter between Spacey and Davis is terrific.

Bought Leaves of Grass on Blu-ray... haven't seen it yet, but I've read plenty of positive reviews and the price was right ($9.49 on Amazon).
