Topic: What'ya got 2007-2013?

[lovemunkey187]

No, the only film I have seen directed by Sergio Leone is "Once Upon A Time In America" and it was a blind buy. I'm not a big fan of the western genre (cowboys/indians look boring to me), but for what I've read his western movies are completly different and he is Italian (I think that the Italian director are the most imaginative and talented ones) it's a big plus.

Once Upon a Time in the West is a GREAT film. ...and no Indians

As for the No Name Trilogy, they are great films, not so much westerns, really (they are "spaghetti westerns" after all...). You may want to give them a try, if you enjoy the one that jumped in your shopping bag (I always find it funny how they manage to do that). I belive the first, well, at least one of them, is a remake of a Kurosawa movie, just with "cowboys" rather than samurai.

The first one, A Fistful of Dollars, is a remake of Yojimbo. All three are only vaguely linked to each other and The Good The Bad and The Ugly even gives the Clint Eastwood character a name ("Blondie"), but it was still marketed as the man with no name. Leone has an incredible style that does make his Westerns stand out from the others and his characters are usually more ruthless even when they are the good guys! The start on Once Upon A Time In The West is especially brilliant.

If you find you like Leone, your next foray into the West should be riding alongside Sam Peckinpah and The Wild Bunch... 

OUATIW is a fantastic film. Excellent surprise purchase.
And yes the start is something to behold.

You shouldn't be disappointed by it.

I love the (three?) opening scenes of that film. Great cinema; few words, excellent imagery. Had the luck to this this film in a theater once.

Reading all your comments it looks like I have got a pretty good film without knowing it. The best part is that it was in the 5$ dvd boxes at Walmart, there are some good movies in it if we have the time to search trough all the garbage (fullscreen, child movies, hundred copies of The Planet of the Apes remake,...).

Receive this morning from Amazon.ca


Back to the genre of film that I prefer the most. The first one is another Something Weird Video release with 2 classics Doris Wishman movies with Darlene Bennett and Gigi Darlene. The second one is another Joe Sarno recent release to add to my collection. Sarno is one of the best sexploitation director with Radley Metzger, so every movie directed by him is a must buy to me.

I got an early birthday present today!  No... my friend did not let me open the package sitting here.  My sister-in-law brought me over a movie... and let me have it early.... they got me...

[RossRoy]

Received these today (from Caiman, via Amazon Marketplace):

 

[Jimmy]

Now you are ready to watch them and let me know your impression about your first visit on my genre territory 
I've not watch "Sinful" yet so I can tell if it's good or not and since I'm in this month marathon I've to finish it first.

P.S : If you rescan TSOMM let me know, my scan is not really good. BTW thanks for the Chantal scan

I probably will rescan both of them (I like to have my scans at 1000px high, although I hate actually sitting there and mass scanning, so once in a while I do a few, but not too often  )

BTW thanks for the Chantal scan

No Prob. If you ever spot something I own that you want a new scan of, just ask.

And that goes for any of you, DVDCol.com users.

It seems to run in your family. Not only you get nervous around unopened packages, no your family does too, se they give them to you early

You remember how far ahead you received the earliest birthday present ever?

[addicted2dvd]

LOL... usually it is all throughout May. But just this year I got an early gift as early as April 9th... well over a month before my birthday. From the same person that is torturing me with this package... she got me Carnival of Souls: The Criterion Collection... great classic horror!

Both Sinful and TSOMM have new scans in my site. (and yes, they are not as good as I'd like them to be, but I lack the knowledge to actually fix it).

Also, I had to remove the black border on the covers, they both got damaged when I removed the security sticker 

[Jimmy]

Thanks, much better than what I have. It happen frequently with this company that the cover is misplace or too large and that we rip it when we remove the sticker (I've done the same with the back cover). I hope that your dvd was not loose in the case like mine, it works with no problem on my computer but he is extremelly scratch.

Sinful was fine, except the cover. TSOMM the cover was fine, but when I removed the sticker, the clear plastic sheet from the keep case tore off, and 1 of the CD was loose inside (thankfully, it wasn't scratched at all). So I had to get a new keep case.

Receive this morning from Xploited Cinema



Inga is the movie who was used as inspiration for "The Seduction of Misty Mundae" and it's a classic Joe Sarno movie. I want it for quite a long time, but the Amazon.ca marketplace price is way to high, finally find it at Xploited new and at a reasonable price (I've no idea why I haven't look there first). The other is an adult xxx movie made in the seventies (the golden age) who was release some weeks ago. The adult movie from this period are the only one that I'm interested in when I want to watch a xxx movie, they have a story and they are professionally made. The big plus for it : Bill Lustig does a commentary on it and he's a great commentator (Maniac, Maniac cop, Vigilante,...).

An incredible tale.

Today I went to future shop (also know locally as Future Chiotte) to pay a bill and I decided to take a look at the DVD shelves.........just out of curiousity with, obviously, no intention of buying anything because after all enough is enough and blah blah blah.

As I go through the aisles, lurking and moving toward the end of the last row something unbelievable happened. 


A BOX SET JUMPED IN MY HANDS  

I never saw it coming and I swear I tried everything short of committing suicide to get rid of it but nothing worked.  When I got to the cash and asked for help they said it happens sometimes and that there is nothing they can do about it except of course making you pay for it before you leave the store.
