This is where I will update some of my recent purchases, talk about why I got them and possibly review some of them.
First thing I picked up this week was the region 1 DVD release of John Carpenters 'The Fog' (1980).
Found this one at a recent trip to Dixons in Camberwell for $7 which I thought was a pretty good price. Have never actually seen this one, but I am a big Carpenter fan so am keen to check it out.
The disc comes with quite a few special features including a couple of documentaries and a commentary.
Next up and also at Dixons I found the region 1 DVD release of David Lynch's controversial 'Dune' (1984). This is the steel book edition which includes both the theatrical and the extended 'Alan Smithee' version of the film.
I haven't seen this film for a long time, I remember renting it when I first discovered David Lynch and had to absorb everything he had ever made and recall being quite let down by it. However being the completest that I am I couldn't resist picking this one up especially since it contains both versions of the film. (I was also seduced by the steel book if I am being completely honest!)
It was $17 dollars which was probably more than I would've liked to pay, seeing as I thought it was $7 but the price tag was smudged but when I was at the counter I had already decided to get it so I paid the extra $10. It has a few special features on it, nothing that looks that substantial but that is quite common for Lynch films.
I also got this for $5 . . . . . . . . .
No comment!
