What Have You Bought Recently?

[marvinnashsear]

King Kong (original) 2 disc set cos, well, I'm ashamed to admit I've never seen it. Also bought Citizen Kane for the same reason. Felt there were some gaps that needed filling. And Play better hurry up and send out Repo Man cos I'm getting pissed off waiting. Only ordered it in bloody October furgodsake.

As it is only recently arrived, it should be at the bottom of my priority list but, due to this praise and the recommendations, I may make an exception!

I used to be the same, but in recent months I've given up all that. Just cba listening to a lot of the commentaries anymore. And even though I can watch subtitled films, I cba watching subtitled extras. I turned off the Luigi Cozzi interview on Four Flies after about a minute.

I'd also recommend these (for starters) from the Legendary Collection:
Devil Fetus (more serious horror)
Blue Jean Monster, The
Doctor Vampire
Peacock King, The (fantasy)

Magic Story is a movie for kids btw.

I have my eye on Mr Vampire 4, although it is currently more than I would like to pay for it.

I had also wondered what Devil Fetus and Blue Jean Monster might be like, so I am grateful for your recommendation.

I already have the HKL DVD of the Peacock King, otherwise I would have picked that one up already. Do you have the sequel, by the way, and what are your thoughts with regards to that one?

I hear what you say about Magic Story, but is it any good?

3 Goodies in today from Planet Axel (whose delivery times are excellent these days) -

BUs The Stendhal Syndrome - goddam it the back of the case is all wrinkly, what is it with these slim cases? also a few small gouge marks. It was only 6 quid so it must have been a shitty load of stock they were getting rid of.

The King Kong digibook - now you're talking, this looks amazing. Question to the floor - are all the US digibooks this good? This is my first one and I wasn't expecting it to be so substantial, well chuffed with it.

Horror Express - it's an oblitigary purchase isn't it?

By and large, they are all as good as that, with the book part of the packaging containing a mix of writing, photos and publicity material, with each release having different amounts of each.

I've just received the German BD of Lake of the Dead (Beneath Still Waters) and, from Baseball Fury, The Wicker Man limited edition DVD set.

Red Letter Day at Goji Towers:



Also got this:

[Beyond72]

CEX

Death rides a Horse
Revenge of the Nerds I/II
Halloween 4/Halloween 5/ Boogeyman/Boogeyman II

Couldn't resist seeing how bad Boogeyman II is for £1 (*Edit* Sadly it's the even lamer redux version) , well at least I don't own H5 already. :/

Was gonna treat myself to a Twilight Zone season 1 (Org) boxset, but they couldn't find the cover and only offered me £1 off the price.

Also was really surprised to see some Arrowdrome titles in there, Funhouse and House by the Cemetery (£3 each) - Pity I already own them on DVD.

An eclectic mix here. CREEPSHOW £5, BANGER SISTERS 75p, ZARDOZ £2.50 from CEX, HMV had KRONOS for £7.

[platostotal]

Picked these up for the princely sum of £13 at HMV, CARLITO is a blast and contains one of Cinema's best 'serves him right' gotcha moments.

Got a £15 Amazon voucher from Lovefilm, so picked up The Funhouse on blu and the Arrowdrome Penitentiary. Had to pay a whole extra £1!
