You do already have the Zeffirelli version? Otherwise you're missing out big time.

Nope sorry I don't. I remember going to see it in the cinema with a girlfriend and was quite bored by it all. My girlfriend and I split up shortly afterwards, nothing to do with the film choice though, and I have never bothered to revisit the film just sticking with my memories of it, jaded as they may be. I do realise now though that my tastes have altered and it is 40+years since I saw it so I'll have to look it out and give it a chance. So therefore an order has been placed on amazon UK as it is only £2.99 there.

With Brittany's birthday tomorrow... I couldn't spend much at all on DVDs this month. But I did break down and order 2 DVDs...

Tremors: The Complete Series Life in Perfection, Nevada, isn’t so perfect since the small town developed a very big problem with man-eating, morphing monsters. Luckily, the residents are up to the challenge in every earthshaking, action-packed episode of Tremors included in this 3-disc set. Inspired by the movies that have become beloved cult classics, this fun, thrilling TV series reveals more of the down ’n’ dirty battles as the locals attempt to coexist with the Graboids, Shriekers and Ass Blasters now on the "protected species" list, including a particularly large Graboid nicknamed "El Blanco." Add to the craziness a combination of secret labs, the gene-blending "Mixmaster" and the occasional fanatical tourist, and there’s never a dull moment in Perfection.

Growing Up Brady The true story behind "The Brady Bunch"! Remember them? The Dad, Mom, and six kids that were 'The Brady Bunch', whose clean-cut but chaotic lives and hilarious domestic mayhem made them the most popular TV sitcom family of the 1970s? This fabulous new biopic, based on the memoirs of actor Barry Williams (Greg Brady), reveals the behind-the-scenes truth about what really happened: the legendary off-screen battles between Robert Reed (Mike Brady) and the show's real daddy, series creator Sherwood Schwartz; Barry's date with his screen Mom; his relationship with 'sister' Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) and the ultimate question - did they or didn't they? You'll laugh and cry along with them all as the meteoric rise to international TV stardom brings happiness and heartbreak in a moving story of what the rocky road to fame is really like.

I remember catching an episode or two of Tremors: The Series on Sci-Fi channel years ago when it aired... looked like it could be pretty good... so when the complete series set went on sale for only $12.99 I couldn't resist ordering it.

I ordered Growing Up Brady (a TV movie on the behind the scenes antics) for one main reason. A very young Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) is in it playing Maureen McCormick/Marcia. And I have become a fan of hers since seeing her on the final season of Charmed... and now watching her on The Big Bang Theory And this thing sounds so ridiculous I just have to see it once anyway!

Alien Anthology


I hope she don't mind me saying: Kathy helped me buy this. (you might or might not know that this Limited Edition, 5000 only!, was only available for shipping to US residents). But, when re-packing the thing for shipping from the US to me she even added a few DVDs Once again, thank you very much Kathy!

Batman Returns	Natural Born Killers	Nosferatu / Phantom of the Opera

I'm so glad your special egg got there in one piece!

I'll bet you are the only person in Taiwan with this special edition.

It hasn't arrived yet but it could be here today...or later this week.  I got an e-mail from Amazon saying a 2-title package had shipped.  This will include the latest release of The Facts of Life and the original movie version of The Thing From Another World featuring James Arness as the monster.  That was that weird one which had the memo in it that it usually ships in 1-2 months.  I'm not sure why that item took so long.

Added Note: As it turns out, those two releases did arrive today.  The set of "The Facts of Life" is the 5th season.  There are no extras in this set.  The only extra on "The Thing From Another World" is the theatrical trailer.

Two big packages arrived on Tuesday.
The first from Amazon.de

	Loving Annabelle (Amazon.de) Sophie said it's good.
	Mädchen in Uniform (Amazon.de) A German movie from the 50s which they say inspired Loving Annabelle. When I saw that Romy Schneider stars in it, I had no hesitation to put it into my shopping basket (and it was only €5.55)
	Goldfish Memory (Amazon.de) Another one from my wishlist.
	The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Season Five (Amazon.de) Continuing another series.

And then a really big package full of South Korean movies from YesAsia:

	100 Days With Mr. Arrogant (YesAsia)
	A Man Who Was Superman (YesAsia)
	My Mighty Princess (YesAsia)
	Volcano High (YesAsia)
	Too Beautiful To Lie (YesAsia)
	Almost Love (YesAsia)
	My Girlfriend Is An Agent (YesAsia)
	A Millionaire's First Love (YesAsia)
	Love Phobia (YesAsia)
	My Tutor Friend (YesAsia)

And today I received:

	Mädchen in Uniform (Amazon.de) The 1931 original of the above remake.
	Léon: Director's Cut (Amazon.de) I have to admit that I have never fully watched this one.
	Parker Lewis Can't Lose: Season Two (Amazon.de) Continuing another series.

Are you kidding...? You packed it so well! I actually had trouble getting it out , that's how expertly wrapped it was.

I'll bet you are the only person in Taiwan with this special edition. 

Make me feel special
