Newest Purchase

Just bought The Ultimate Hitchcock Collection (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M5KA44/) about a week ago. Haven't watched much of it yet, but I plan to here this week.

I pre-ordered Inland Empire but it still isn't here .

Got today:








Hitchcock DVD Collection - Dial M For Murder / I Confess / Stage Fright / The Wrong Man / Strangers On A Train / North By Northwest

Seen Blow Up and Dial M For Murder, Strangers On A Train and North By Northwest from the Hitchcock collection.

Good call on the Hitchcock Signature Collection, buddy. Good fucking call.

Nice pickups all around, people.

Mark, have you seen The Talented Mr. Ripley? It's one of my favorites.

David - Closer

I hadn't when I picked it up, but it turned out to be a pretty good blind buy. I now want to see Purple Noon, as apparently it's an even better take on the original story.

Excellent purchases, David. Especially with Casablanca.

Today - 8/26/07:

Some great purchases, and some I'm not too fond of. Hard Candy is one of my absolute favorites. Such a joy to watch and Ellen Page's performance is one of the greatest I've ever seen. Casablanca and Halloween are legendary, and for good reason. Audition is pretty good. I'm not a fan of 300.

Halloween! yay!

I just picked up American Psycho today. Thoughts/opinions on it are welcome as it was a blind buy.

Hunter, how was Inland Empire?

Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I will post about it when I do.

Just bought Days of Heaven and Arlington Road.

For my birthday:

Jeebs, don't you already have Magnolia or did the person who gave you Magnolia not know that?

Looks like a very good birthday haul.

Trevor - Nice pickup with Sky Captain. Have you seen it? I'm quite the fan.

Estefan - No, I hadn't owned it before yesterday suprisingly.

David - Great pickups man. Mockingbird is a classic, Batman Begins is one of the best of 2005 and The Jerk is just plain hilarious.

I just got back from the mall, with four more DVDs:

Haven't seen any of those four. Really want to see the last three, though. Haven't heard a word about Antwone Fisher.

Yes, it certainly is surprising that you haven't owned Magnolia until now.

But, now you have it, so

You haven't seen Edward Scissorhands? It seems like something you'd really like, but I may be wrong. We Don't Live Here Anymore is also pretty excellent. It's been one of my favorites since I first saw it, but it's been too pricey for me to buy. I saw it used for $5.99 and had to get it. It features phenomenal work from Mark Ruffalo and Laura Dern's best performance (note: I haven't seen Inland Empire). Dawn of the Dead isn't anything spectacular, but it's some good ol' fashioned zombie slaying badassery. I hadn't heard too much about Antwone Fisher either aside from Derek Luke's Independent Spirit (my favorite award academy) win, but I recently saw the trailer, liked it and love Denzel so I just decided to blind-buy it. The fact that it was only $5 certainly didn't hurt.
