Re: DVD Haul

That's quite the present! I love Lee Evans. I have all the DVDs that would come in the box set (I think...)

I didn't buy these myself, but my uncle gave me Dark Water and the Doll Master. He's not keen on films with subtitles, but as I rather like them and really enjoy the creepy East Asian films that are in the similar ilk of The Ring and et al, I asked for them.

Re: DVD Haul

Managed to get my grubby paws on one I've been looking for a long time - namely Alan Bleasedale's GBH on DVD. Drama, madness and corruption at its finest and it's mine, all mine I tell you!

Re: DVD Haul

Received Evgeny Kissin - Plays Schubert/Brahms/Bach/Liszt/Gluck. Another film of Kissin by classical music film maker Christopher Nupen. Recorded in studio back in 1990, not sure why it's released just now. It's a platter of supremely divine performances, especially the Schubert-Liszt 5 Lieder and Schubert 'Wanderer' Fantasy, immensely beautiful. Kissin is a true keyboard poet.

Re: DVD Haul

Just the one which I brought back from London. And it's not from the pirates either. Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. Have not had a chance to watch it yet though.

Re: DVD Haul

This is a bit obscure (but I do love the obscure) Panzer - Germany's Ultimate War Machine.

What I really like about this DVD is the inclusion of a little-seen training film from 1943. I now know how to stop a Panther Tank with just a machine gun and a hand grenade.

Bound to come in handy someday

Re: DVD Haul

Bought recently? Define 'recent'.

Law & Order: SVU - season 6 is the last thing I bought on DVD.

Sadly, it may be the last thing I buy until season 4 of House, MD releases this summer, b/c I am scrounging up my pennies for vacation. *g*

Re: DVD Haul

Had a small DVD haul for the heck of it while browsing Amazon:

- Night Watch (I do love this film).
- Ring trilogy. A four disc edition of the three Japanese films. Woot.

Great 1950s SF movie. Originally released in 3-D. Screenplay by Ray Bradbury. Glorious black & white. What's not to like?
