Evilenko - A small film that didn't get much of a release on these parts. I heard about it from the Malcolm Mcdowel documentary on the "A Clockwork Orange" Blu-Ray.. It's a disturbing film about a sick and twisted serial killer that tormented Russia in the 80's and 90's.. based on a true story.. Kind of looking forward to exploring it.

Well, i guess it's not MUCH worse than the first one... *snicker*.

Watched both, will review, but honestly, Guyver 2 is better than the first one. Still bad, but better.

Maybe i have em confused. Was the second one the one that looked like a CTV original movie? Or was it the one with the hip-hop alien/monster/thing and Mark Hamil?

by **HGervais** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 5:13 pm

All on Blu-ray.....Moonraker...I know, I know....Up In The Air, Juno & Casino Royale the two-disc version.

The first one is the one with Mark Hamil. Guyver 2 is the one straight to video one featuring the credited screenwriter of X-MEN

Yep, i did have em straight. I remember finding the second one to be slower than cold maple syrup. It has been a while...

Moon: ~$6 at a closing Hollywood Video. I felt bad for all the copies as they were the only good movies left for sale on the new release wall and no one was buying them.

And, as promised, my review of Guyver http://experiencecinematic.blogspot.com/2010/03/guyver-george-and-wang-1991.html. God, I have never had as much of a pain in the ass time writing a review. This was worse than writing the one for Surviellance...

NOTE: I re-edited the review this morning after a few errors became more than noticeable. Sorry about that folks!

Cronos is the Guillermo Del Toro version.

As for Zombie's Halloween, I'd been on the fence for that for a while and caved. Honestly I've been to a few autograph shows in the area in the past year and I've seen half the principal cast in person (met Malcolm McDowell last week!!!). I feel like I'm missing out on something and have to see for myself.

Today is officially known as the day I am finally able to own The African Queen on a little silver platter, so there is that. Also on Blu and in these cases from Criterion, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Bigger Than Life and Days of Heaven.

Toy Story DVD/BD combo pack (DVD packaging)
Toy Story 2 DVD/BD combo pack (DVD packaging)

Ended up paying only $15.98 plus tax with a special Target promotion and two $10 coupons. Not bad at all, especially since they come with a free ticket to see Toy Story 3.

Back to Hastings once more for their B2G1 used DVD deal. Picked up:

The Hours
The House of Sand and Fog
The Good Shepherd (although, without having actually watched it, I'm regretting not getting either The Good German, The Constant Gardner or The Queen instead)

Sherlock Holmes Blu Ray

by **Andrew Forbes** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 3:17 pm

The Killer. Part of me hates myself, because I find the dramatic elements absurdly overwrought, but there is ample badassery to compensate. Besides, it's been a holy grail of sorts since I started buying DVDs (prior to having seen the movie, or having good taste).

by **Steve T Power** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 7:57 pm

Killed the month with a bang (tax return! BOOYAH!)

- Halo Legends (bluray)
- The Hurt Locker (bluray)
- Whiteout (bluray)
- Sherlock Holmes (bluray)

- X-Blades (PS3)
- Eternal Sonata (PS3)
- Wet (PS3)

- Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (PS2)

and three brand new, still sealed rarities for PS2:
- Fatal Frame
- Fatal Frame II
- Fatal Frame III
Now the question is, do i open these bad-boys and savor the terror of three of the scariest games of all time, or do i leave em sealed for the collector's value. I bet i last less than a week.

by **J.M. Vargas** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:07 pm

^^^ This man is out of control, someone grab him while I scissor his credit cards (with scissors ;-)

)! I'd sit on the "Fatal Frame" games and start playing everything else you got. You'll forget about the "Fatal Frame" bug for a good long while and it'll be easier to resist the temptation to open/play them when you remember them in a few months/years... voala, kid's college fund in the making.

Tapping out on big spending for a while...
