DVD Collectors Online

Yeah,I know what you mean..I like to show off mine also..but ,it gives me more storage space for my Blu Rays...Because Im totaly out of space,LOL!!!

The Blockbuster video store in my area is shutting down and they're having a going-out-of-business sale.  I just got back from going there to check them out and I bought 8 titles.  Half the titles I got were DVDs and the other half were Blu-rays.  Here's what I came home with...

DVDs
Four Christmases--I mostly bought this because I love Reese Witherspoon...I'm not so crazy about Vince Vaughn.  I note the disc is an actual "Rental" disc.
I Could Never Be Your Woman--This is listed as a Blockbuster exclusive and I  never heard of it.  It's apparently a romantic comedy and stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd and is by director Amy Heckerling (who provides the commentary along with a female producer).
Management--Another movie I never heard of, this romantic comedy stars Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn.  Extras include a commentary by Zahn and the director, deleted scenes and a gag reel.
Whip It--Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, a film about a girl who gets involved in roller derby.  Ellen Page has the lead.

Blu-rays
Duplicity--I'm not sure...I may have already had this on DVD.  If so, it's my one upgrade to Blu-ray today.  It's my 2nd Julia Roberts film in the Blu format.  Extras include a commentary.
P.S. I Love You--I like the cast in this, especially on the female side (Hilary Swank, Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon, Kathy Bates)
Then She Found Me--Another film I never heard of...but it's got Helen Hunt in it!  Matthew Broderick, Colin Firth and Bette Midler are in this, too.  It turns out Helen Hunt also directed this and provides the audio commentary.
The Women--I have the original from the 40s (or is it 30s?) and now I have the remake with Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing and Jada Pinkett-Smith.  This got some not-so-great reviews but I got it for a good price so...

I got "Hatchet 2" yesterday, and today I get "Hatchet"!!!
also got "Transylvania 6-5000"...I remember watching this as a kid and Michael Richards cracked me up!!

Today these arrived

Legacy: Black Ops

71: Into the Fire

I watched Hatchet last weekend. In the special features the director (Adam Green; have you seen Frozen?) pointed out that he didn't want to make a horror comedy; the film is funny, but that is clearly separated from the horror. I feel he succeeded in that approach, making the first half rather funny and then switching gears in the second half. The film's kills are very gory (and will still earn a good laugh from any gorehound) and once Mr. Crowley appears things move along quite fast. In my opinion it's not up there with Freddy or Leatherface, but the film is great fun. I am considering to et part 2 (which he apparently conceived while writing the first one).

Wow, that almost became a review.

That depends. You have to compare prices very carefully. Sometimes they have hidden 2 for 3 offers. This means you buy 2 DVD's and pay for 3!

The Secret in Their Eyes is based on Jon's review.
The live action remake of Gantz is currently playing in cinemas here (I hope it has English subtitles; they don't always have). Seeing the trailer for that made me just as curious of its source material...
