Los Buenos DVDs

So far, 2006 has been pretty crap for DVD releases. All that changes in the second half of March and into April, though.

Links goto Amazon.

03/14: A History of Violence - I didn’t see this one in the theater but decided to pick it up after reading many positive reviews. It was good, but not as good as some make it out to be. I’m going to reserve final judgment until after at least one more viewing, though.
03/28: King Kong (2005) - Again, didn’t see this one in the theater, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. I’ve yet to see a Peter Jackson movie that I didn’t like, and I’ve even seen Dead Alive, so the odds are in my favor. Should be watching sometime this weekend.
04/04: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - Loved the book, loved the movie. In fact, it’s my favorite of 2005 and hopefully the first of seven to be released. I mean they have to make the others, right? Second highest grossing domestic film of 05.
04/18: Hostel - An excellent, sick movie. Word is that a few extra seconds of ‘eye goo’ have been added to achieve an unrated status for the DVD release.

After that, it’s back to crap for awhile. Who knows, though, the studios could surprise us with some gems.

Hey, do you have an amazon associates account? For all the traffic you attract related to DVDs etc., you can update your links and make 5% (approx) on any sales. Unless you don’t want the extra money ;-) They can pay you in Gift Certificates too so you can buy more books and DVDs. The circle of life…

I don’t have one, but should probably register for one. I’ll have to look into it, thanks for the tip.

Um… you forgot the most important one (not for you, for me): Brokeback Mountain on April 4th. Woot!

You know, as I was typing this post out, I had a feeling I might get this comment.
