Agree with the review on 'The Woods'. It has a great atmosphere and is very effective in being creepy. Definitely deserved a greater audience - somehow it didn't end well. Which is the problem with most movies with a good premise.

Meanwhile, during my trip to the Kansas City area, hit 3 or so Big Lots here (Shawnee, Overland Park, Olathe), and the Overland Park store had some anime, but nothing that I wanted or is on my want list. Shawnee didn't have much, other than that Sony Easter bin shipper. Meanwhile, Olathe had some decent anime selection, but yet again, no luck for me (saw plenty enough of the Vol. 3 2-disc Anime Legends version of "s-CRY-ed").

UPDATE: Well, wasn't able to hit any of the 3 planned Big Lots I planned to hit Tuesday, due to my girlfriend taking ages in the two Half-Price Books stores we hit in Lawrence, KS & downtown KC (and we had to get the rental car back at a certain time or face a per hour fine). However, given my luck when she's with me hitting Big Lots, it's not a very good sign if I would've found anything.

big lots near me got a big columbia-tristar restock. some nice titles. picked up xxx - special edition 2 disk directors cut, godzilla (american version) widescreen special edition with bonus features, body double special edition. if anyone has found an extra people vs larry flynt special edition or dog day afternoon special edition, I want them and will see if i can find something at my big lots to trade.

I especially liked the Lesley Gore songs in that movie. I actually bought one of her cds after watching the movie; too bad I can't get the movie version of "You Dont Own Me"

One of our local stores finally got this $3.00 "Spring" Sony display (as it so happened it was the store which hadn't had any new DVD stock since Black Friday!!). There were two layers of DVDs in the bin and multiple copies of all titles.

On Saturday, I picked up:

Batman: The Complete 1943 Movie Serial Collection
Body Double: Special Edition
Casualties Of War: Extended Cut
Freedomland
A League Of Their Own: Special Edition (2-disc)
Meltdown
Old Gringo (I'd been looking for this title to show up somewhere ever since it had been pictured in the Big Lots Black Friday ad)
The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada

Another store I had checked this past Tuesday had a smaller restock of Sony titles, with nothing I didn't already have.

That store also had a few of the titles which have been showing up at Dollar Tree stores.

I remember seeing Cronicas and Corneil & Bernie: The Complete First Season (3-disc set).

Big Lots had them priced at $4.00 each (whereas Dollar Tree had been selling them for $1.00).

I bought a few movies at the Frackville, PA Big Lots in the new spring box the other day. The only movie I got that I haven't seen others mention was a Philadelphia (Tom Hanks) 2 disc special edition for $3. They only had one of 'em.

Checked mine out today and got:

Ali: Director's Cut
Blue Thunder SE
Body Double: SE
Charlie's Angels: Deluxe Superbit
The Passenger (Jack Nicholson in an Antonioni film)
xXx:Uncensored Unrated 2-Disc Director's Cut

All for $3 a piece.

I have still never seen the 1943 Batman set, but I'm sure it will turn up eventually.

Damn I Can't Find The Ali: Driector's Cut Anywhere! I Live In Springfield, Ma. Does Anyone Know Of A Big Lots Near By That Has One...

Has anyone seen the S-cryed 3 vol. #1 and/or #2 recently that they could snag for me? I've seen them all in the past but didn't want to blind buy them(even for the low price) but have recently had it recommended and now can only find vol. 3(which I picked up).

Thanks.

Good luck finding Vol.1, it's pretty elusive. There are at least 2 others here that are still looking for it.
I did however see Vol.2 and 3 again today, they're pretty common around here. Email me and maybe we can work out another trade :)

Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for the 1943 Batman set and could never find it, but today with the easter box/bin I found it. There were at least 6 more copies.

Hehe, that's right, Brian, between David (printerati), I think FangsFirst, and myself, we have a nice little line for that s-CRY-ed (3-volume/2-disc Anime Legends edition) - Vol. 1. :) I've seen Vol. 3 all over the place in KC, but nothing for Vols. 1-2 here in St. Louis (and when I was over in Kansas City & Chicago on concert trips).

I gave up on s-cry-ed, heh, and a number of others...just didn't seem to be happening :\

seems the well has run dry.

i'm looking igpx i have 1,3,4 need others

Vols 2 and 5 are still available around here. I haven't seen 6 or 7 in a few months though.

can i get you to pick them up for me?

I'm down to two that I need to complete series, s-CRY-ed Volume 1 and Planetes Volume 1. I'm probably going to turn to Amazon Marketplace unless they show up at a decent price online at FYE/Wherehouse/Secondspin, since I have a good chunk of credit there.

Fox/MGM restock today... $4 each
Nothing terribly exciting, but at least it's something new...

The Flamingo Kid
A Guy Thing (SE)
The Pagemaster

The "Spring" bin is GONE already! The remaining stock has been added to the regular rack.
I did spot 2 copies of Steamboy, which appears to be new re-stock at this store as I don't think they were there last week. Could be as there was also restock on a few other miscellaneous titles that have been spotted before.
No new anime or anything else.

Add On Her Majesty's Secret Service SE, which I picked up along with The Thin Red Line and Gangster No. 1.

I saw a planetes Vol 6 today for $3.00 at my dollar general if anyone needs it send Pm

I picked up The Omen CE for $4 today. There was just a lone copy of it amongst many of the title you listed, Basaro. I figured for a 2-discer, it was a pretty good value. Although after purchasing many DVDs for $3, that extra dollar did dampen the excitement just a bit.

Planetes
 

If anyone can get Planetes volumes 2 or 4, I will happily pay cost+postage via paypal and/or trade Steamboy, Don't Come Knocking, or What To Do In Case Of Fire (all opened but never watched) for them.

If anyone here would be willing to pick up a copy of Steamboy and Zentrix Vol.1 for me for cost + shipping, please PM me. I can't find them anywhere near me, and I can't even find anything that people wanted in trade for them. I'm also mildly interested in the Batman Serials DVD.

We haven't received the Sony restock/Eastern display in South Florida except for one store. Big Lots distribution systems are always unpredictable.

I haven't seen any anime restock either and it's been a long but very long time since I saw Steamboy in stock.

I also saw some $4.00 cartoons
