Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Spotted 'In Time' at my local BL for $5, definitely a movie worth owning for repeated viewing. !27 Hours also, not sure I could watch that more than once. The movie Rocky in some sort of fold out, not sure exactly what it was.

One I saw last week that hasn't been mentioned and would have grabbed if I didn't already own it was Miller's Crossing.

Went a bit nuts today for the first time in MONTHS- got for $5 each:

Arthur and the Invisibles II and III
Post-Grad
Bad Teacher
X-Files: I Want To Believe
Meet Dave (this just looks SO bad that I have to see it)
30 Nights of Paranormal Activity etc

Would've grabbed a few more if my shelves weren't already so full from the tons of $3 DVDs I've gotten at Big Lots over the years that I still haven't watched yet!

Overall, fewer blu-rays at my local Big Lots, but I did pick up 2 relatively decent ones that I had not seen before --

La Femme Nikita (Luc Besson movie)
Angels & Demons (2 disc Theatrical and Unrated)

I saw these for $5 at my local BL. (Also saw a $3 copy of Meet Dave, which I snagged). I would probably have gotten WYN and The Rebound, for $3, if I could find them, but it's not worth going to another BL looking for them. BL price consistency -- you gotta love it!

PhantomStranger 07-12-15 08:53 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
This was probably the deepest batch of BDs I've seen for a 20% off sale in some time.

I didn't go to the sale, but at the store closest to me there were almost no br's at mid week.

The best find was The Sessions on BD for 3$. You can check out a fantastic movie and helen hunt for a bargain.

It would probably sell-out at Big Lots if everyone knew Helen Hunt does a complete nude scene in the film. She plays a sex therapist for a crippled man.

MooMooMooMoo 07-16-15 09:49 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Hit the local BL yesterday. Probably 50 or so blu's, but no The Sessions.

They did have a bunch of overpriced Breaking Bads left even after the sale though. I'd probably bite on BB @ $8.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
Received a random $5 off $15 coupon in my e-mail. Excited to get it, but my closest store hasn't had anything of interest in some time. Stopped in today and surprised to see they had some $3 BDs. Most of these, if not all, have already been mentioned:

Iceman
The Jone$es (I bought this as a blind buy, even though I blind bought the DVD at Dollar Tree previously)
Lake Placid 2
Meet Dave
Meet the Spartans (saw this priced at $3 and another copy at $5)
The Rebound
Return to Nim's Island
S. Darko
The Secret Life of Bees
Special ID
Stargate: Continuum
Street Kings 2
Tooth Fairy 2
The Tree of Life
Won't Back Down

That batch has been out in some places for months and months. It does tend to sell out fast from what I see.

Possibly they've been out for a while, though the word JULY showed up on the receipt for each title.

Another thing that made it interesting is that I only recall 1 copy of each of the above. I've seen many copies of the $5 BDs.

laidbacklarkin 07-20-15 10:18 PM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
splurged $5 (didnt want to but..) on the original Sony release of 'Anaconda' just for the TrueHD track that the Mill Creek re-release drops. Subtitles are another miss on the Mill Creek.

MooMooMooMoo 07-23-15 12:30 AM

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
 
The BL near me got the $3 blu's today. I picked up The Sessions on the prior recommendation of Helen Hunt sans clothing. Just started it. My Oppo will play it, but I've never seen so many java copy guards in my life. It took over 2 minutes to get to the film after inserting the disc.

The only other blu possibly worth mentioning was a film that looked interesting, but that I've never heard of, "A Late Quartet"; a drama about classical music.

New Magnolia titles seen at Big Lots:

"The Great Buck Howard"
"Roadie"
"Take This Waltz"
"Two Lovers"

http://www.doblu.com/2013/02/18/a-la...bluray-review/

It's a fine ensemble drama about the four members of a string quartet. A Late Quartet is a quiet, serious piece on adult friendships. Recommended for the turns by Christopher Walken and Philip Seymour Hoffman, or if you have an interest in the world of chamber music.

I guess I finally came across this new batch before the resellers had snapped up everything. I also saw a few other ones like Casino Jack and What's Your Number in the selection. It was on a waterfall display.

The one store I visited only had DVD copies of this assortment. I highly recommend Two Lovers if you can find it.
