No I have not. Was always in the cheap bin at Walmart and Best Buy. Just never looked interesting to me when I was a teen. Now my taste has changed some.

Wasn’t going for sarcasm sorry. Just being honest. Haha

No I have this addiction where I buy movies that look cool and I’ve never seen them before.

Met me watch it first then I’ll let you know. Haha

I just bought two more shelves a month ago. After moving all the stacked up movies and new purchases I had laying around I had two shelves that hold about 60 movies left. Lol

I really got to take a weekend to purge several hundred out of the collection.

Today’s physical media arrivals are a couple Yukari Ôshima DVDs from Rarewaves!

A ★★★½ review of Blown Away (1994) There’s just something about a good 90s thriller, especially of the action variety. Wasn’t blown away by anything in Blown Away, but it’s just a good thriller with a hero you root for and a villain yo...

The 90s were special. Wish I could’ve went to the theaters to see these movies back then.

My ★★★½ review of Blown Away on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/bACaSl

A ★★★½ review of Judgment Night (1993) Judgement Night is just a cool 90s thriller. Actors being convincing and with thrills to match. It looks great and has some damn cool shots in it. I think it does go a little long, but the climatic th...

Mid budget 90s thrillers just looked like that. Man how far we’ve fallen.

Yeah I ordered it like immediately so hopefully I’m in the first 50 people. Lol

Already have City on Fire from arrow preordered. So I gotta start cutting back somewhere if I want to also get those. Start selling some movies as well. Lol

I’m stuck hoping I don’t get shafted because I ordered it from DiabolikDVD and they only got 40% of what they should’ve gotten. Plus I ordered it with the Better Tomorrow Trilogy. Shout really going out the only way they can, like losers.

Can’t wait for Arrow’s versions next year.

Some big #PhysicalMedia hauls from the last couple days. The Kino sale I wasn’t going to get anything from, but the two extensions got me. My first order from Shouts liquidation sale. The new Death Wish 3 4K. Plus some awesome looking HK flicks.

A ★★★★ review of Renegade Force (1998) Renegade Squadron aka Rogue Force is a damn good hidden gem of a 90s DTV actioner. Rooker is particularly sweaty and intense. Patrick is as cool and badass as always. With actual SWAT members carrying...

Oh yeah I’m in my DTV action era. This beaut cemented it.

My ★★★★ review of Renegade Force on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/by8YqX

Today’s #PhysicalMedia arrivals. A maybe potentially bootleg Yukari Ôshima and Moon Le joint. Then after listening to the Cynthia Rothrock interview on @a4epodcast.bsky.social, she mentioned her and the Dragon were in a movie together before Black Creek. So I had to grab that one.

A ★★★½ review of A Dangerous Man (2009) This is about as good as a 2000s Steven Seagal movie could be. He’s at his waddling, soft speaking best here. He’s not too far where is laughable, but just fat enough where he can “move” around lookin...

Today’s #PhysicalMedia arrivals. I’ve heard very good things about Samurai Fury so I had to grab that and support WellGo.

Also grabbed @imprint_films Blaxploitation set from earlier this year. I waited to see if the two Charley westerns got a states Blu, it hasn’t happened yet.

Today’s #PhysicalMedia arrival is my first order from Shouts lowkey liquidation sales on the site.

Just put this up on ebay ebay.us/m/DXNRRI

Today’s #PhysicalMedia arrivals. A big haul of Hong Kong classics. @88films.bsky.social bringing the heat with Heart of Dragon 4K and Peacock King. Shout with their HKCC line and the Chinese Ghost Story trilogy. Finally an ancient Lethal Panther’s Tai-Seng DVD from the 90s.

A ★★★★★ review of Jeremiah Johnson (1972) Wow Sydney Pollack and John Millius’ Jeremiah Johnson is completely my shit. A beautiful, brutal and at times contemplative journey with this man. It’s based on the legend that is the “Crow Killer” or...

Am I predictable, maybe. But this instantly became one of my favorite movies.

A ★★★½ review of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) A good horror adventure romp. Just feels like a classic while watching it. Wish I enjoyed it more though. Maybe because it feels like the movie that other films have taken from and done to death. The ...

Today’s #PhysicalMedia arrivals. It’s the long awaited arrival of my Retro Gold order. The even threw in a full size poster of that UniSol Regeneration art. What a bonus!

A ★★½ review of Encounters of the Spooky Kind II (1990) Lesser tier Sammo unfortunately. It has all the fun elements, but it’s let down by a subpar story and comedy that just doesn’t fully work. I will be interested in revisiting it in the future, as I rea...

A ★★★ review of Doctor Vampire (1990) An overall fun vampire comedy, but feels way longer than the 99 minutes. With the typical very fun third act that gets bonkers. I would do anything for Ellen Chan to suck the blood out of me. Wowza.

This week’s #PhysicalMedia arrivals. A couple new release steelbooks. A big order from Brother Belial, that includes some interesting stuff. Then my order from Fokus Media that got held up for a month. Loving these PM Entertainment Mediabooks they have been releasing.

One more pic. Still isn’t the whole collection. lol

Haven’t done this in a minute since my collection was a fucking mess for the last year. Finally got a couple new shelves and spent last weekend putting them together and reorganizing. I’m not done yet, still have some reorganizing to do for the top of the shelves. #PhysicalMedia

This week’s #PhysicalMedia arrivals. First pic is what I grabbed from @brotherbelial.bsky.social. Next is from @orbitdvd.bsky.social, grabbed Tornado since I really enjoyed Slow West. Then picked up a couple of A24 4Ks.

A ★★★★ review of Shaolin Intruders (1983) A great martial arts movie with some great twists and turns. Nothing groundbreaking, but the two leads have a great buddy chemistry going. Also there’s a gnarly kill, involving a dude chained up then ...
