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

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.

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.

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.

Can anyone that picked up Chances Are comment on if it's anamorphic or not? Thanks!

Picked up yesterday:
Meet Bill
August
My Life Without Me
The Quiet
On A Clear Day

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

1.85:1

If you can find the OOP WS/FS flipper, the one side is anamorphic.

Today, I picked up:

S.W.A.T. (WS)
Sweet and Lowdown (WS/FS)
A Beautiful Mind (Awards Edition)
Arabian Nights
Picking Up The Pieces
Josie and the Pussycats (PG-13 FINALLY!)
Postcards from the Edge
Children of Men (WS) / 12 Monkeys (Remastered)

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.

ah, got it. thanks!

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.

^ 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.

There you go.

Thanks for the info.

Just got back from Big Lots and there was a whole new 4 foot display .lots of James Bond titles ...Dr. No, Majesty Service,Otopussy,Man with Golden Gun,Only Live Twice,Moonraker a couple of the Brosnan titles. Also saw Amos & Andrew with Nicholas Cage & Samuel Jackson, City Slickers,Be Cool, and a few other Westerns Broken Lance with Spencer Tracy and one with Joel McCrea called Buffalo Bill.

Here is what I picked up:

Winter Passing (ed harris,zooey deschanel, will ferrell)
The Bravados - Gregory Peck (western)
Forty Guns -Barbara Stanwyck (western)
Young Frankenstein
Never Say Never Again
Casino Royale
Gangster No.1
Even Money
Haven

Where are you?

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.

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.

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.

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