the only two

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I nabbed those 2 a few weeks ago ago. Haven't watched them yet (the pile is HUGE!). I remember enjoying #1 on dvd, so I will likely enjoy both.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Until the new Superstore near my house opens sometime in September, it's somewhat of a drive either East or Northwest for the next closest store; so unless I read of something here I'm not bothering.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Found a modest haul of $3 and $5 3D combo titles at a Michigan store this weekend. These weren't on the rack last weekend, and there were some other new-ish odds 'n ends, but not sure if this is new stock or just stuff that was taking up space in the back. Thus, ymmv.

PUSS IN BOOTS - 3D/Blu/DVD/Digital - $5
KUNG FU PANDA - 3D/DVD - $5
47 RONIN - 3D/Blu/DVD/Digital - $3
PARANORMAN - 3D/Blu/DVD/Digital/Ultraviolet - $5

Also got:
HOLIDAY INN - Blu/Digital - $3
RUMBLE IN THE BRONX - Blu (markdown to $2.50)

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

New batch at the Superstore. Blu's were mostly either very weak titles, or titles I hadn't heard of. I bought 1 in blu: In Old Arizona $3.00. Blind buy.

Lots of new dvd's also. Again, a combination of stuff I wouldn't have paid $1.00 for; with a few decent titles overpriced for liquidation at $5.00. There was a Guillermo Del Torro title I wasn't familiar with I would have done a blind buy on at $3, but not at $5. Again 1 blind buy for me on dvd: Cary Grant & Audrey Hepburn is Charade at $3.00

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

In Old Arizona is a good, early, western. It has the distinction of being the first all-talking sound-on-film movie made. Director Raoul Walsh, who was to star as The Cisco Kid, lost an eye in an accident shortly before filming (a jackrabbit crashed through his car windshield with glass and the rabbit hitting him in the face). He was replaced in the Cisco Kid role but, on the BR, you can see a few pre accident shots of Walsh (as a cowboy on horseback under a big hat in long shots with bluffs in the background). I stumbled on that one a couple of months back and snagged one. I already had a copy on DVD, which is a very good print, but $3 for a BR was impossible to pass up.

I really like Charade. It's absolutely worth a $3 blind buy.

There wasn't much "new" here today. Like you observed, a few decent titles but overpriced at $5 with some at $10 (mostly those Disney "previously viewed" titles but also a couple of others). There were several I might have purchased at $3 but not at all for $5.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Charade is excellent.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Walmart had the 2 films in one package as the Sherlock Holmes Collection for $7.50. It was in the $7.88 bin but rang up at $7.50.

This set.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Wow - a 3D fest !!!!

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

And I thought they were great when they were on sale at Best Buy for $9.99 B2G1Free. $5 each is so much better.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

The store I went to had them, but since they're all children's films & I don't do 3d, I didn't think to mention it. If Puss In Boots had been $3 I would have picked it up.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

And to think I only mentioned them a week ago! :lol:

Glad to see folks finally picking them up.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I think a $10 off $50 purchase coupon is also floating around for Big Lots.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Of everything listed Megamind is head and shoulders above the competition. Also fantastic 3D.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I think I'd go with KFP 3D as the best of the bunch, but Megamind is excellent. Peabody and Sherman I thought was quite fun though I understand why folks didn't like it as much

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

2 more Big Lots stores here just closed, and one I went to drastically reduced their movie selection- just a meager pile of discs on a shelf, no more free-standing area. Big Lots is why I have so many damn DVDs in the first place, but the party may be finally over.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

The new "superstore" 5 minutes from my house is supposed to open this month.

I do agree 100% that there film selection is nothing like 5 years ago or so.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Missing from your picture, Shrek Forever After was at a Big Lots by me.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I saw

How The West Was Won $5
Holiday Inn $3
Time Traveller's Wife $3


HTWWW was the standard version of film no smilebox version.
Holiday Inn was the version prior to last year's 75th Anniversary edition but I believe it is the same transfer of the film. I think the only difference is this version doesn't have a second disc with the recent Broadway version of the film.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

The "superstore" has opened. I think they get truck on Monday, so I'll likely check it out Tuesday.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Never seen Megamind, but I did pick up Rise of the Guardians and Peabody & Sherman from my local BL. Watched Rise of the Guardians yesterday w/ the toddler, it's surprisingly well done. Lots to appreciate and gorgeous vq/aq as well.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

I did like this one, but thought the first one Legend of the Guardians might be better. Both are excellent for 3D however. They didn't do all that well at the Box Office so I was disappointed though not surprised they didn't continue the series.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Picked up some 3D blu mentioned above for $5.

Also found SON OF GOD - digibook for $3 ( BD + DVD + 28page book) it is hard to locate since it has a cardboard covering on it and looks like DVD size. I accidentally stumbled upon it.

Also Turbo BD+DVD+DC with toy for $5.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 

Son of God without the digibook is also found ND right now at Dollar Tree for $1.
