The Disclaimer

 

 

Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.

I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in…as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don’t get paid for this, and I don’t have the time to list every DVD. So, please don’t complain! If there is a title not included in the RoundUp that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone!

 

 

The Specials

 

–Another week of Twilight Time releases.  And it’s an intriguing list of catalog titles.  They can only be pre-ordered HERE and HERE.

–And another region-free release from Powerhouse Films in the UK.  Pre-order HERE.

–Don’t go into shock.  But it’s another week with no printed Sunday ad (that I can find) from Best Buy.

–Best Buy’s Weekly Ad is available at THIS LINK.

–Target this week has the following Blu-ray releases listed for sale:

$22.99:  Black Panther, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

–Target’s Weekly Ad is available at THIS LINK.

Thanks for the RoundUp, Mike.

Not much for me apart from a couple of Twilight Time titles. Better luck next week!

Thanks, as always, Mike for all your hard work on the RoundUps!
I spent too much on the Kino sale, need to hold off before I buy a few of those.

I also want to see some reviews on those Twilight Time titles (I'm looking straight at you, Matt!)

Thank you, Mike!

Unfortunately, nothing for me this week. I really want Wonderstruck, but I've spent a lot lately so will have to defer that for a couple weeks until next month. But it's high on my priority list just as soon as I can do it.

I'd also strongly consider A Fantastic Woman after a price drop. It's a terrific movie, and I highly recommend seeing it, but I'm not sure if it would have as much replay value for me as some other things I'm more in a hurry to buy.

Thanks guys, for all the kind words.

I ended up pulling the trigger this week on Black Panther and the 4k Die Hard (I just couldn't help myself!).

This week I'm interested in Red Sparrow (LOVE me some J-Law!). Plus, Peg had read something about the new PBS Little Women so I think I'll be picking that up, too.

And, I've never seen DW Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. I probably need to do that at some time. I had somehow missed word that TT was releasing it. Think they'll sell out quick?

Safe shopping! :D

Josh will be doing his usual sterling job with those TT reviews.
No doubt about that! :thumbsup:

I do like to hear from multiple sources, so I'm hoping you will put in your 1-2 line thoughts in the corresponding TT announcement thread, as I enjoy reading those.

Thanks, as always, for the Round-Up, Mike. I have the UHD version of The Patriots on pre-order from when Amazon had it for under $15. I canceled my pre-order of Kino's A Fistful of Dollars based on the reviews.

I went into BB yesterday to grab T2 and Close Encounters on 4k. Not a single copy of the second one anywhere. I know I shouldn't be shocked and I know I should just order from Amazon.

But dang it. Is it so hard for a store to actually have something advertised in their flyer in stock? Even the Warner 3/$50 endcap was just about bare. It looked like no one had the interest in trying to restock it...

I’ll be picking up Game Night. One of the funniest movies I’ve seen in years. I’m looking forward to watching it again with the wife.

I’ll be waiting for some of those 4K releases to drop in price. And I plan on checking out the Biffle and Shooster set.

So, randomly, I walked into BB again last night before a pedicure appointment, looking specifically for Close Encounters. At some point between Sunday morning and Monday afternoon, they discovered an entire display of the $14.99 titles. There were three copies of CE3K on the display; I grabbed one, along with T2.

Man, it should not be this hard....
