[SRW1000]

New Year, new deals!  Amazon has another 3 for $33 sale going on right now.  Here's a link:  Amazon.com: $33 for 3 items promotion

Unlike previous sales, there are some newer titles here, including F1, Boogie Nights, The Phoenician Scheme, Nobody 2, How to Train Your Dragon (live action), The Conjuring 4, and many others.

Great selection. As usual, titles may slip in and out of stock for as long as the sales lasts.

Thanks, Scott.

Out Of Africa
The Green Mile
How To Train Your Dragon (2025)

I've never seen TGM! Haven't seen OOA since shortly after its release, I recall loving it and suspect my wife hasn't seen it but will too. Wife hasn't seen HTTYD. Something for everyone, lol.

And I think I've noted before, but still cracks me up and/or annoys me - EVERY single movie has a customer rating of ~4.5 stars. Every. Single. One. (On the listing page at least - if you go to individual movie page it might be 4.4, or 4.7. Whee.)

Thanks, Scott.

Thanks. But I think that the price is far too low. They’d have to pay me much more than that to take it

ROFL Barry...good one

Howard the Duckgets a high rating?

From the celebrated creator and producer of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies and the writing team behind American Graffiti and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, comes an unforgettable, irreverent, action-packed intergalactic adventure from Marvel Comics - The House of Ideas!

The advertising copy practically writes itself. 

In seriousness, anyone that it willing to spend money on the 4K version probably has a pretty soft spot for it, hence the high rating.

That's going to be the case for most of the Amazon ratings, as the buyers are probably already inclined to like or love the movie before purchasing.  That's in contrast to the broader movie theater or streaming viewers, who would more likely be first time viewers.

Barnes and Noble is currently having a 50% off Arrow Video sale; here's a link:  Arrow Video | DVDs, Blu-Rays, 4K Ultra HD | Barnes & Noble®.  Shipping is free if you buy $50 or more.

This even includes such recently as Under Siege that David just reviewed for us here.

They've been doing a great job bringing quality releases to the home market, so here's your chance to expand your library at a good price.

[Barry]

Thanks this is very helpful. They just opened up a new Barnes & Noble near me. And they’re opening up a second one too

[Paul Heroy]

Thanks, Scott.

Here's a link for specifically 4K Arrow titles in the sale.

A number of people have expressed interest in the upcoming 4K version of Ben Hur and I happened to notice that Amazon currently has it listed for a preorder price of $19.96.  Here's a link:  Amazon.com: Ben-Hur : Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Haya Harareet, Stephen Boyd, Hugh Griffith, Martha Scott, Cathy O'Donnell, Sam Jaffe, Finlay Currie, Frank Thring, William Wyler: Movies & TV

This qualifies for their pre-order guarantee so if the price goes any lower before the release date, they'll automatically adjust your cost.

For what it's worth, it only has a 3.5/5 score.  Due to the artwork.  🤦‍♂️

I love it when people feel the need to review a disc or a book or a movie before it’s even out. And they give it a bad rating cause they don’t like the cover.


By the way, I did order the disc about a month ago when you first mentioned it, so thanks

That's a great deal, and I already have a copy on order. As for the cover art, who cares - I look at that once. I'm watching the movie - not the box!

It reminds me of when Amazon used to have Q&A sections on their products.  It would never fail that someone would ask something like, "Do these sizes run small?"  Invariably, multiple people would respond saying they couldn't answer because they have opened the item yet.  

[Paul Heroy]

I can understand, to some extent, cover art issues IF it's a truly iconic image from the movie - the initial poster, or whatnot. But by far the thing I'll see the most is the spine on the shelf, lol. 

Re Amazon questions on sizing, it's not uncommon for me to see that and people answer very strongly both ways.
