    Oooohhhh! :banana:

    November is shaping up to be a great month for DVD releases - expensive but great! Check these out:

    10/29 - The Sum Of All Fears - okay I'm fudging a little on the date - got it
    11/01 - Spider-Man: Limited Edition Collector's Set - got it
    11/05 - Band Of Brothers - got it
    11/12 - Lord Of The Rings: Platinum Extended Edition - got it
    11/12 - Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones - got it
    11/19 - Reign Of Fire - got it
    11/26 - Ice Age
    11/26 - Men In Black II - got it

    And that's just my biggies IMO.

        FYI -- the next "trade 2 used DVDs for a preordered new DVD" offer at Electronics Boutique is for the "Spider Man" DVD according to one of the EB dudes who was there when I picked up my preordered Lord of the Rings DVD yesterday. According to him, they wiill announce details sometime this month (August 2002) even though the spidey thing won't be released until November.

                      Thats some list.
                      Most of those are on my buy list.
                      I'm real happy to see Band of Brothers on there.
                      I have been wondering when that was gonna be released.
                      If you guy's didn't catch that series on HBO definately give it a look.
                      It was a awesome series.

                        Bob, I agree entirely. Band Of Brothers was an excellent, excellent series. It's at the top of my "gotta have it" list. I just hope the DVD's got the treatment they deserve (Amazon is showing them to be 1.66:1 anamorphic with DTS and DD5.1 soundtracks).

                          Adding Reign Of Fire to the list for a release on the 19th. What a cool us vs. the dragons movie.

                          Gotta blow the dust of the credit card - this is gonna be a big month!

                              Here's a few more interesting titles for November release. I haven't seen any of these but they SOUND interesting. Since they are not "big" titles, I won't add them to the list at the top of the thread.

                              Bad Company
                              The Hit

                                    Oooh, oooh! Picked up Spider-Man Saturday. Waiting on the extended cut of LOTR and Attack Of The Clones to show up in the mail-box. I'm trying to find out if Band Of Brothers is a Christmas present or not. . . sure hope so.

                                    George, how was 8-Legged Freaks?

                                      Eight legged freaks ? Haven't watched it yet. I hear it's a throwback to those horror/sci-fi flicks of the fifties like THEM, only with a little comedy thrown in. Some personal matters have been making it difficult to find time for movie viewing, but as soon as I catch up I'll post a few comments on what I have watched.

                                        11/01 - Spider-Man: Limited Edition Collector's Set - Got it!
                                        11/05 - Band Of Brothers - Need it
                                        11/12 - Lord Of The Rings: Platinum Extended Edition - Got it!
                                        11/12 - Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones - Got it!

                                        So far so good. I've passed by Band of Brothers several times since it's streeted. Oh the agony!

                                              Paul, I'm the same way about Band Of Brothers. I'm REALLY hoping it's going to be under the Christmas tree!

                                              George, I can pick you up all the copies you want here in 'Frisco, but they're $24.99 each! Pirates!

                                                The extended FOTR and AOTC made it in last week. I'm running to Best Buy today to see if Reign of Fire is available.

                                                  Hey, Tex, got my widescreen copy of AOTC at Wallyworld for $24 something Canadian. Non-pirated edition.

                                                  Oh, let me know what you think of Reign of Fire. Was going to buy it but haven't read anything positive about it.

                                                    George, I REALLY enjoyed Reign Of Fire. Just take it as a rip-snorting (pun intended ), Saturday matinee, us vs. the dragons kind of movie. The dragons are very well done, I already liked Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale, and Izabella Scorupco is easy on the eyes. I gave it :35: out of :5:.

                                                      Just watched Reign of Fire last night as well. I was a little disappointed. I liked it OK, but was looking for a little more. Dragons were great though. As someone else said, they were very similar to the one in Dragonslayer (since these are both Disney-owned, I almost wonder if intentionally so).

                                                      Not quite sorry I bought it, but not glad either.

                                                      Usual scientific nits. Why would a creature burn most of the calorie value out of its food and then eat the ash? And many more. But whatever.

                                                        Hmmm, one thumbs up and one thumbs down. Probably best to rent it first to see if it is the kind of film I will want to watch more than once.

                                                          Oh, forgot to mention that ROF is available at Best Buy for $17.99 US.

                                                            I wouldn't quite say I thumb downed it. Maybe stuck my thumb in my nose, or in my pocket, sideways.

                                                            I did like it, just less than I thought I would. If it had had a lot more dragon scenes in it, I would have liked it more.

                                                              Re: Reign Of Fire, I rented it over the weekend. I thought it was pretty good, but to be honest, it's not one I would want to watch more than once, so I'm glad I didn't buy it.

                                                              Guess I am a lot fussier now as to what I buy. In the early days before rentals were available, I bought everything in sight.
