Bit of a fish-out-of-water movie. Fortunately the actors are much better than the material they're given to work with. So it's not awful but not better than OK either.

Today I Picked up :
Slither
The Skeleton Key
Bugsy

First time i have seen The Skeleton Key at Big Lots

[supermike07]

Saw these at my store today.

$2 titles:
- Melvin and Howard

$3 titles:
- Stranger than Fiction
- The Specialist
- Reign in Darkness
- Diamond Dogs

...and quite a few more in the new cardboard setup that everyone else here has been talking about.

[Doc Moonlight]

I passed on some of the Universal titles because they were the full-screen editions. The one title that I actually wanted to buy in full-screen, THE BREAKUP, was only available at BL in widescreen. Somedays ya just can't win.

[Mongo Montoya]

Picked up the two pack of People Under the Stairs and Shocker for $6 today. Nothing else caught my eye. Mixture of stock from a few weeks ago and a newer one but nothing to note of that hasn't already been mentioned.

I picked up The Skeleton Key and Cry Wolf: Unrated as a $6 two-pack at BL about a month ago in Nebraska.

I thought anamorphic was 16:9.

Anamorphic refers to being enhanced for widescreen tv's(no pillarboxing), the ratio can be of many sizes and still be enhanced, ie. 1.66:1, 1.78:1(16x9), 1.85:1, 2.35:1, 2.40:1, etc.

Thanks for clearing it up darkhawk, I also picked up the flipper yesterday, guess I can open it now.

Picked up "Disorderlies". I'm glad I waited. I found a couple copies which were not slashed; virgins. I also bought (with slipcover) "Gosford Park". It's odd, for the longest time I thought the movie was called Gossamer Park.

Question. Today I saw a single copy of "Duel". I already own the DVD. Those who have found it at their local stores. Did any of them have their original slipcover? I would rebuy the movie for that.

[hasslein]

^ I've seen several copies of Duel at different locations, all without slipcover. I'm kicking myself for not getting that cover as well, it's really cool with the raised "bumper" lettering.

[JohnIan]

There you go.

Thanks for the info.

Where are you?

[Drake]

South of Boston

Still trying to remember everything i saw ...Flamingo Kid , The Chase with Charlie Sheen also there was a John Wayne western that I was not familiar with and I own a lot of his movies ....can't think of the name.

[Nivlac]

I purchased a lot of the titles that Drake found in the Boston area at one of our local Ohio stores as well.

The James Bond series was $4 each last year but are now $3 each.

I also found "Broken Lance" with Spencer Tracy along with "Buffalo Bill", "The Bravados" and "Forty Guns".

Plus, I got the John Wayne - Sophia Loren "Legend of the Lost" disc. That's one MGM release I've not found at Big Lots before.

Yes ,Legend of the Lost !...i should have picked that one up.

Is Never Say Never Again the old version? Sounds like some great titles have arrived.

[Mickactual]

Spotted a minor restock in Springfield NJ. Several copies of "White Noise" (the Michael Keaton orig.), but I passed cos they were all FF. ...Yet I grabbed "Last Time I Committed Suicide" despite it being FF (that's the only way it was released, plus they only had one copy). I also grabbed "Doctor Faustus". Strange but interesting 1967 oddity starring Richard Burton & Liz Taylor (who has nary a line of dialogue, but wears several different shades of body paint!).

It's not the collectors edition , in very small print (can hardly read it) it says 2005.

[docdoowop]

Interesting to see the Fox westerns showing up. I may make a run today.
