[General Discussion] Your Latest Media Purchase (DVD/CD etc)

Well, I decided to expand my DVD Empire (200+), and today I purchased:

Pulp Fiction - Watched it and loved it.

As Good As It Gets - Enjoyed it.

Saving Private Ryan - One of Spielberg's finest.

Schindler's List - Well, in my opinion, this is Spielberg's finest.

X-Men - Strangely, I have X2, but not the first. An excellent comic-book film.

Firefly - I couldn't resist! I never had the chance to watch it when it was on television. After seeing Serenity, I had to fork over my cash and give it a shot. Haven't watched it yet, but I expect great things!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well if you loved War of the Monsters, the odds are you'd definitely enjoy the Heisei Gamera movies. Those revolutionized the way monster movies should be done. I don't know if you've seen them yet, but if you haven't, track down Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Gamera: Attack of Legion, and Gamera: Revenge of Iris. It's a brilliant trilogy. Highly recommended to any monster fan.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've been able to find them in stores like Best Buy or Suncoast. If your area has a store that sells a lot of movies, ask and see if they carry it. If they don't have it, but you're interested in getting them, you can always order them. It's worth it in my opinion, but then again, I'm a monster nut - so I'm a bit bias. But if it helps, my non-monster liking friends enjoyed it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A few days ago I bought:

Brazil: Watched it during film school. I absolutely loved it and had to buy it when I saw it.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Believe it or not, I first saw this in my health class during high school. Yeah. Crazy. Had to have it.

Taxi Driver: It's a classic. 'Nuff said.

Remember the Titans: I'm a football nut and I enjoyed this when I was younger. Good performances.

How ya doing, buddy?
