Reviews: Week of Nov 06, 2007

#Movie Review, #Review, #DVD, #Movies
 
Well, another week has passed... actually I think 2 weeks since I last sat down and wrote out something for this site. At any rate, I'm back with a couple quick reviews; I'll throw in some of last weeks stuff (if I can remember back that far) and hit up tomorrow's releases best I can. Enjoy, after the break.
 
 
 

Samarai 7 On the Cheap

#Amazon.com, #Sale, #DVD, #Anime, #Cartoons, #Comics, #Samarai 7
 
Amazon is having a sale on anime, superheroes, and comic stuff on dvd. The most notable title is Samarai 7 for $44. Hit the source to see the rest of the sale, including some Bleach and Naruto, but it's not really that stellar in my opin.

$3.99 Previewed DVD's at Blockbuster Video

#Blockbuster, #Previously Viewed DVD, #Cheap Movies
 
While Blockbuster has of late had quite a few cheap DVD sales (mostly bundles such as 4 for $20, but also some random $3.99 and $5.99 discs thrown in), they rarely really have anything I want. That all changed today.
While I don't have a complete list, here are a few titles that are worth looking out for. (Most of the ones I don't remember, I don't remember for a reason).

* Capote
*Jarhead (Single Disc - and was there some sort of transfer problem with Blockbuster copies of Jarhead?)
* United 93 (Single Disc)
* Thank You For Smoking
* Ultraviolet
* Brokeback Mountain

I'm only picking up Thank You For Smoking and United 93, and maybe Jarhead if there was really no transfer trouble as I seem to remember reading about (apparently, Blockbuster's widescreen discs were cut-off some or something, I think a 1.78:1 ratio instead of the larger, 2.35:1.)

If I see more worth posting I will, but in the meantime, any recommendations from the short list? What's good/bad/sucks? Anything you readers will be picking up?
 
 
 

HD-DVD Sale at Best Buy!

#Best Buy, #BB, #HD-DVD, #Sale
 
I've been really slacking on these articles! Here it is Wednesday and I have not posted this, yet it's been running all week.
Best Buy has a $10 off sale on select HD-DVD's, pricing them to $14.99 (and one $24.99). My advice is to grab the ad and head to Circuit City to price match, netting an extra 10% off. Check after the break for a full list, or hit the source to buy from Best Buys' website right now.

Hollywood Video 4th of July Sale

#Hollywood Video, #DVD, #Sale, #Previously Viewed DVD
 
Hollywood Video is having a sale on previously viewed DVD's, until July 5th (Thursday). All Previewed DVD's are now as follows:
$14.99 & $12.99 = $7.99 (I think... other sources say 4/$30)
$9.99 = $4.99
$5.99 = $1.99!

I picked up, at $1.99 each:
Kiss Kiss/Bang Bang
Cache
A Mighty Wind
Six Feet Under Season 4 (Discs 1, 2, 3, and 5... no 4)

All for under $15. I've only seen A Mighty Wind, but figured I'd take a chance on the other stuff.

Don't forget that Blockbuster has a B2G2 free with some $5.99 movies which will net you some nice prices, but Hollywood is now a nice alternative till after the fourth :D
 
 
 

Blockbuster Video Sales

#Blockbuster Video, #Movies, #Pre-Viewed DVD's, #Sale, #B2G2
 
Blockbuster Video has started up some new sales this past Tuesday. Nothing amazing, but worth noting I suppose.
-B2G2 (Buy Two Get Two Free) on Pre-Viewed DVD's. This is all inclusive, unlike the 4 for $20 and 2 for $20, which had price ranges. With this new sale, you can find 4 $5.99 PVD's and get them for $11.98, or $2.99 a piece.

Also, Pre-Played Games $14.99 and below are B1G1. Probably excludes next-gen games, but most of those are at least $20 anyway.

All Fox TV On DVD $19.99

#Fox, #TV On DVD, #Best Buy, #Sale
 
This week Best Buy has just about every Fox TV on DVD show on sale for $19.99. Some shows (such as Rescue Me) are produced by Sony but aired on Fox, so they don't count, but most stuff like the Simpsons, X-Files, and Family Guy DO. For a complete list, just check out the Fox TV section at BB or the link in the source. And, for extra fun, if you can get it to work, here is a scan of a coupon BB has been handing out good for $10 off any Fox show. I'm hoping it works for Family Guy, but it does state it's not good for sale prices and it's all up to the register and the employee. Good luck!

X-2 Steelbook DVD $6.99 @ K-Mart

#Steelbook, #DVD, #Misprice, #Circuit City, #Best Buy, #Price Match, #PM, #KMart, #X-Men, #X-2
 
In what is most definitely a mis-price, K-Mart has the new X-2 Steelbook DVD in their ad for a mere $6.99. While K-Mart probably won't actually have this edition of the movie, Circuit City and Best Buy most likely WILL, and both Price Match competitors; Circuit City even goes above and beyond with 110%. So, head over to K-Mart, grab the ad, and then stop on by CC or BB and pick up this $20 movie for $7... hopefully. :D
