odessasteps Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 New Criterion list came out. only new* one i might get is Visions of Eights, 8 short films about the Munich Olympics. * rerelease of Pickup On South Street
Travis Sheldon Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I found a code for an extra 15% off the WB sale, so I got A Mighty Wind, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, The Thing From Another World, and Fearless Vampire Killers. Probably could have found four more I wanted, but got the cheaps instead. 1
Control Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Vinegar Syndrome is having the pre-sale to their May sale (Half Way to Black Friday) this weekend.

Control Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Arrow’s June releases: The Italian crime box set looks neat, though it’s not my thing. Will consider the BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE 4K because it’s a fine film and I like their sets. 1
Control Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Maybe of interest to you weirdos. https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/home-grown-horrors-volume-one HOME GROWN HORROR featuring: BEYOND DREAM’S DOOR WINTERBEAST FATAL EXAM
Control Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 https://www.filmstories.co.uk/news/it-looks-as-if-zavvi-has-bought-arrow/?fbclid=IwAR3IMRyNWE8_IWemb95Bss1x1NMnWqlh1rwipfDCvOFpEUXbjpLV47aPxpA The company that owns Zavvi has apparently bought Arrow.
Control Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I admit I’m not familiar with DAIMAJIN. VENGEANCE TRAILS is a collection of four westerns: MASSACRE TIME (1966) MY NAME IS PECOS (1966) BANDIDOS (1967) AND GOD SAID TO CAIN (1970) Might try to pick up the UHD of DEMONS since it should be region free.
Curt McGirt Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimajin Pretty much a kaiju series. I remember seeing it on a Reel Wild Cinema episode as a kid, methinks. 1

Curt McGirt Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 All I remember is the big stone giant samurai coming out of the ocean with human eyes looking PISSED and I think crushing a city. It was awesome. 1
Curt McGirt Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Well, I found the trailer... and the whole movie. Trailer Spoiler Full movie Spoiler @ControlI don't think you are gonna need much convincing on this one haha EDIT: Oooo, and our Chicago heroes in Cianide made a song about it, of course, because Mike Perun loves his kaiju.

Control Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Oh shit, the second one is directed by Kenji Misumi... 1
nate Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 In 4 weeks, Vinegar Syndrome has their "Halfway to Black Friday" sale, where everything is half off and they drop new super secret product. This may also mean that the B&N Criterion sale is on the horizon. 1
Control Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Some things to keep in mind with the Vinegar Syndrome sale: everything is typically 30% suggested retail price throughout the year, so the 50% sale is good, but not as significant of a deal as it first appears. Also, there’s no free shipping during the sale, which can also cut into your savings. That said, I’m currently eyeing a few releases that I might pull the trigger on during the sale, including RAW FORCE, SUDDEN FURY, BLOOD GAMES, and TAMMY AND THE T-REX. Maybe SURF II. If I was going to recommend a title, I’d suggest DEADLY GAMES, aka DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUSE. That movie rules. 1
jaedmc Posted May 1, 2021 Author Posted May 1, 2021 Blood Games is fucking great. My wife picked it for a date night and it was a highlight. I saved up for the halfway sale. I'm most likely getting the giallo sets they've released. Also Cthulhu Mansion. Probably take a gander at the special releases. 1
Brian Fowler Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) DAIMAJIN!!!! IN QUALITY EDITIONS!!!! (No, seriously, they are really fucking good movies) Edited May 3, 2021 by Brian Fowler
Curt McGirt Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Speaking of Reel Wild Cinema, the entire run is on Something Weird Video's Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi4gbWwVSq8lT2IRwUgGs8Q/videos It's definitely worth checking out for the interviews with Tura Satana and David Friedman. Oooo and Russ Meyer was in one! Edited May 3, 2021 by Curt McGirt 1
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) nvm Edited May 15, 2021 by RazorbladeKiss87 nvm
bobholly138 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Got in in the last few days Night Killer BLU-The Severin release of this wacky slasher. Slumber Party Massacre BLU-Have the old set on DVD so grabbed Scream's BLU cheap. Once Upon the Time in Deadwood DVD-This is a Western starring that dude that looks just like Charles Bronson ,known as Robert Bronski.

nate Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 I kept it light, I had higher hopes for the unknown titles. Fade to Black (replacing an older copy); Xtro 3 (I've been binge watching my Columbo season sets, and this was purely due to Robert Culp's involvement).
Control Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 Arrow’s upcoming releases DUNE in HD, if anyone’s interested. As for the VS sale, got FADE TO BLACK, SILENT MADNESS, GRAVE ROBBERS, SUDDEN FURY, RAW FORCE, and TAMMY AND THE T-REX.
