TV this week? Let’s see….what? Caroline in the City S1 Seriously? I mean, really, who the hell needs to own seasons of Caroline in the City?! Are all those other extremely lame and forgettable “Must She TV” shows going to follow? Good grief.
Also on TV: Dave’s World S1 (see above note on Caroline in the City); DC Superheroes The Filmation Adventures; The Love Boat S1 Vol 2; The Newsroom – Three sets covering seasons 1-3; Prison Break S3 (DVD and Blu Ray); South Park S11; That Girl S4; Tru Calling CS; Wire S5.
Anime out this week: Angelic Layer Thinpak, Voltron Beast King Golion Vol 2, DNA Angel Thinpak, Humiliated Wives, Naruto Box Set 9 (regular and uncut), Sasami Season 1 Collection, School Rumble Season 1 Box Set, Super Robot Wars: OG Divine Wars Vol. #9.
DVD of the Week is the third volume of the remastered, chronological, very cheap The Three Stooges Collection: 1940-1942. Awesome stuff. Amazon generally sells these are first for a very cheap $17, and then eventually goes to $20. So grab it now. Remember, free shipping too once you hit $25.
Brentwood puts out a bunch of potentially interesting schlock sets today. As always, quality will vary wildly between each film, but hey, ten weird movies for one cheap price. I won’t link to Amazon on these, as they charge $12 a set, while you can them for under $10, even with tax, at Deepdiscountdvd.
Advantage – Men Of Action The biggie? MITCHELL!!! The rest? THE SQUEEZE (Lee Van Cleef) FUNERAL FOR AN ASSASSIN (Vic Morrow) THE BOXER (Robert Blake) THE KLANSMAN (Richard Burton, Lee Marvin) GOLD (Roger Moore) MISTER SCARFACE (Jack Palance) MEAN JOHNNY BARROWS (Fred Williamson, Roddy McDowall, Stuart Whitman, Elliot Gould) HIGH RISK (James Brolin, James Coburn, Lindsay Wagner, Ernest Borgnine) CRIME BOSS (Telly Savalas, Lee Van Cleef).
Advantage – Urban Assault DVD Most of these star Ron Van Clief. I know, be still your heart. The biggie? Dolemite in SHAOLIN DOLEMITE. The rest? THE BARON / DEATH OF BRUCE LEE /, the classic T.N.T. JACKSON T.N.T. / BLACK PANTHER OF SHAOLIN / WAY OF THE BLACK DRAGON / KUNG FU FEVER / THE BLACK SIX / BLACK DRAGON / LORD SHANGO.
Many of us will have many or most or all of these, but for others, for under ten bucks you could do worse than Advantage – Weird Cinema DVD, which features many campy delights: REEFER MADNESS / TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE / ASSASSIN OF YOUTH / SHE BEAST / CREATURE FROM HAUNTED SEA / THE GIANT GILA MONSTER / BRIDE OF THE GORILLA / EEGAH! / THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN
