What was the last DVD you bought and why?

Aye, we must. To be honest, I've not bought a lot recently and am still in an almighty huff that Deadwood is only getting a release on a region-locked US disc a matter of months after I got rid of my Region A PS3 - bought a Region B one last year because of the amount of region locked discs coming out. Before that, 90%+ of the Blu Rays I had were region free so buying a cheap imported Playstation made sense. Wish I'd kept it now.

I've just checked my Alien anthology and all the discs have a blue stripe. I feel cheated...

Just got Lost seasons 1,2 and 3 for their shear greatness and the bonus features I have not yet seen.

It's just landed on my mat and seems to be an (unused) ex-rental disc. Just the movie, no extras - Dunno if the retail Region A disc is the same but Danny Boyle's stuff over here is usually dripping with commentaries and documentaries.

It was a good price though.

Two more DVDs getting replaced and and I think The Thick of It is the best BBC comedy since Partridge.

I notice it says 'not final artwork' on the final pic. I can officially confirm that this is indeed the case - 'The Complete Boxed Set' is written in white on my copy instead of red.

There must have been a few sleepless nights in the office before that one got green-lit.

EDIT - Actually, the sweary colossus that is Peter Capaldi has his arms folded on the official release. And he's wearing a slightly different tie.

How wrong was I?

In last week or so I've bought


The Paper - Had never actually heard of it but good a good cast and was only £1.99
Wild Bunch - One of many supposed classic westerns I've yet to see. £3
Not Going Out series 3 - A really daft but enjoyable UK sitcom, I love this show. Tim Vine and Lee Mack make for a great team
Harsh Realm complete series - Decided to finally give this a shot as it's another Chris Carter show. X-Files is my favourite ever show and I also enjoyed Millennium and even the Lone Gunmen to a degree. £3

Well I was out and about yesterday so just had to buy some DVDs! It's very rare that I ever leave the house and don't come back with a DVD.

It was in Asda and they were both blind buys for £2. Panic Room and Mr Deeds Goes to Town. Panic Room because I thought it looked quite interesting at the time but never got round to seeing it, and Mr Deeds... because I've really enjoyed what I've seen of Capra so far.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Collectors edition)


Sometimes i swear the kids in the stockroom get the boxes mixed up. Found it in the bargoon bin for $6.

There is a making of feature, that i'm just gonna go ahead and say is the best i have ever seen.

Every main Actor chimes in along with Spielberg , the UFOlogist from northwestern university that coined the title, and pretty much everyone who worked behind the scenes short of the caterer.

At first i was disapointed there wasn't a Commentary track, but really this feature is so complete it doesnt matter.

I've had this on blu ray for a few months now, but bought another as a present for someone.

Never heard of 'em. Seen the first two though. Both are fantastic. Enjoy CE.

Bought series 1 to 4 of Supernatural because a friend recommended it to me and I was very sceptical at first but now I have to admit I'm addicted and even developed a slightly worrying man crush on Jensen Ackles

The first two seasons are very good. I've got the first four season, too, but I've only seen the first 6 episodes of season 3. There's nothing wrong with them, I've just not gone back to it. From what I've heard, though, the series starts to fall apart after (or maybe even during) season 5.

Most recent purchase arrived this morning



Seven films for just over £7! Includes Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Thing From Another World, Incredible Shrinking Man, This Island Earth, Creature from the Black Lagoon, It Came From Outer Space and Tarantula.


Supernatural is a show I plan to get into a big way someday. Picked the first season up on DVD and watched the first half or so a while back but just kind of lost track. Have caught a few of the later comedy episodes on TV which were really good - Supernatural convention one and the one where they are trapped in TV shows.

Holden - I love White Collar. Really good, slick show.

I bought a couple last week, one called Reincarnation, one called The Marsh. I was in the mood for some good supernatural thrillers. Reincarnation was the best of the two, it had you guessing until the end. Theres a place here where you can get all kinds of horror movies, anything from The Bride Of Frankenstein to modern movies for 15 to 30 pesos.
