Random DVD purchases
Just picked this up today at Best buy for $10. It already has me rolling around with laughter. Great 80's horror flick.
Here are a few reviews (SPOILERS):
.

"Reviewer: Dr. Coathanger (Tromaville) - See all my reviews
Chopping mall is more than just a film about robots. It's a film about KILLER robots in a shopping mall AND they're killing teenagers. Now if that doesn't tickle your fancy i dont know what will. "

"Reviewer: cool dude "cool dude" (California) - See all my reviews
This movie is cool, i use to watch this with my friends in grade school. The best part is when the robot shoots out a laser beam and this guys head blows up like a galleger water melon, then the robot says thank you, have a nice day!"

Fine choice.
To my delighted surprise, both The Guyver and Guyver 2: Dark Hero were released on DVD today.
I work at Suncoast Video but for some reason those titles weren't entered into our database. So it was a total surprise.
It's been about a decade since I last saw either of these movies. My god, they're great. A movie adapting an anime series and co-starring Jimmie Walker as a rapping Zoanoid mutant has to be good. It even has Mark Hamill getting turned into a cockroach!
And if you manage to sit through the whole movie, your prize is Jimmie Walker's classic catchphrase "Dyno-MITE!" right before the credits.
Haven't watched Guyver 2 yet. But I will.

Yeah, I saw The Guyver about 8 years ago. It was good. So, I have 2 more DVDs to add to my next R1 order.
But, speaking of R1 orders... Made order on Monday for 3 people and myself. CAD$220 including Clerks 10th Anniversary (2 of those), Clerks: Animated, Dogma: SE, 2 volumes of Invader Zim, 2 Megaman movies, and The Phantom. If the site didn't have free shipping, I'd be completely broke right now, rather than just "fund depleted".
So, next order involves a minimum of Yellow Submarine (yes, Beatles. Just coz R4's discontined), the 2 live-action Guyvers, Zim vol 3, and Space Ghost C2C Vol 2. Ouch.

I did recently pick up the second season of CSI. It kicks major ass. What I want to get next is Angel-1st season and Kill Bill vol. 2, maybe Pirates of the Carribean and Hidalgo too. Not seen the latter though it looks somewhat interesting.
Other things I want to look for are Raise the Red Lantern (a chinese film I've been trying to find for ages) and Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter, an independent film made in.... Toronto, I think. Not sure.

Cheese at it's best.
It was made by all the same people who did one of my favorite horror films ever, Re-Animator.
Same Producer (Brian Yuzna), same special FX man (Screaming Mad George) and even starred David Gale (Dr. Hill) as the lead villain and a cameo from Jeffrey Combs (Herbert West) as a scientist for the Cronos Corporation. So I couldn't help but love it.

Aww, I thought that said Shotgun Assassin.
And Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter sounds like a kickass movie.

Well, then. Ignore me. I'm on crack.
EDIT: Okay. Looked it up on IMDB. It was Dark Hero. Yeah, that sucked. Don't know what I was thinking before. I guess I just made up a random Guyver movie. Sorry.
