Looks like wal mart is having some good movies in the $5.50 bin:
Dark Blue
Escape from N.Y.
Escape from L.A.
The Long Riders.
You know what? They're worth it. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK kicks so much ass as a guerilla-gritty made lean mean B-action machine. Plus, Isaac Hayes as the Duke of New York. He makes the U.S. President his bitch. "Ya da duke, a #1!" ESCAPE FROM L.A. I enjoy. Not as stylish nor as grungy as EFNY, but EFLA works as an insane escapist(pun!) Italian cinema cartoon that Hollywood rarely produces without going into Michael Bay stupidity. Plus, Bruce Campbell and Steve Buschemi in the same movie. Its money. THE LONG RIDERS is a pretty good Walter Hill western that had the gimmick of real-life actor brothers (Keach/Carradine/Quaid clans) as the gang itself. Really, I miss that Walter Hill of THE WARRIORS era instead of 48 HOURS era. DARK BLUE is decent, but Kurt Russell gives it his all...and he is worth watching just for that.

All i got was some socks and $50. Stop complaining. That's two reusable condoms and some booze-money.

But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

I've got THE RUNNING MAN but I wish I could find ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ for $5.50 at my local Wal-Mart For a long time now I've thought that The Running Man would be a great movie to remake. So many remakes try to improve upon movies that were already incredible, and fail miserably. There should never be a remake of a movie, unless it is of a movie that has a lot of room for improvement, such as The Running Man. I think with modern filming techniques and CGI, etc... They could make a new version of that film that wouldn't be so 1980's-ish. It has a great idea, but the styles, and filming were so poor that it's slightly embarrassing to watch. Then again, ninety percent of what Stephen King writes could probably use a nice remake of a movie.

For those wishing to buy ZODIAC here in a couple of weeks, you may want to hold off (I am). I've heard that a Zodiac: 2-Disc Director's Cut will arrive sometime in 2008. Zodiac Some of the extras will be: -Audio Commentary by David Fincher, actors Jake Gyllenhaal, and Robert Downey Jr., screenwriter James Vanderbilt, producer Brad Fischer and crime novelist James Ellroy. -Extensive behind-the-scenes featurettes detailing the production from start to finish. -In-depth looks at the actual Zodiac crimes, including all-new interviews with the original investigators and survivors.

I haven't seen that or MY VOYAGE TO ITALY. Is VOYAGE the same but dealing with Italian rather than American films? is better than My Voyage because Marty doesn't spoil the most important parts (climaxes included) of the movies like he does in the latter. Significant chunks of the movies are played.

Funny, I was going to post about Director's Cuts in another thread recently (I forget which) saying much of the same stuff as Marty has.
Then again, novels get revised editions published... Capo, what "Director's Cut" edits have you seen that you feel are inferior to that of the theatrical edit? Erm... I don't know. None, that I can think of. But I wasn't saying that; I was wondering whether or not I was in agreement with the whole concept of directing something "your way" when you submitted to the studios in the first place.
