Well, considering that a very recent "big ticket" theatrical film like Watchmen will be available on video in July, I'm betting that Star Trek will be in stores by autumn. Of course, Paramount might only release a bare bones version of the movie first, and save a deluxe version with all sorts of extra goodies for Christmas. I think you can blame Peter Jackson and his LOTR DVDs for starting that practice.

I hope Star Trek will be available by Christmas. :-) It probably will I did purchase the final B Galactica D.V.D and loved it watched all the episodes in 1 day ;D Hey Cleburne, Avid BSG fan here, I am curious what all was on the DVD, was it just the last season and the extras? CZ

Picked up Valkyrie last night. We enjoyed the film even if we're not Tom Cruise fans. I also FINALLY got On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I haven't watched it yet but the fact that there has always been ONE James Bond film I've never seen has been a pain in my butt for years. Now, finally I can feel like a real 007 fan. :-)

CZ Yes it was the last season episodes plus behind the scenes aswell a good package of stuff but I shared the cost with one of my mates as he is an avid fan aswell. Its worth it go out and buy it and spoil yourself ;D

Now, finally I can feel like a real 007 fan. :-) Say, did you ever see the "original" Casino Royale? I mean the 60's spoof starring David Niven and Woody Allen. Don't worry, I don't count it as a real bona fide Bond movie, but I did catch it on TV years and years ago. It was a lame movie that thought it was funny, the little I remember of it.

Yeah it's been many years but I've seen the original CR. It was goofy and weird and seemed to have nothing to do with anything. I think dANdeLION has it on dvd and likes it somewhat.

As it turns out OHMSS was laughingly bad through the first 7/8ths of the film and then a funny thing happened. A James Bond movie broke out. :-)
Just picked up X-men Origins: Wolverine. I bought it expecting to be disappointed in line with the box office results which weren't bad just not great. I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed the film. I think the marketing painted a different picture than what the filme actually is. I had gotten the impression that the movie's story did some liberal trampelling of the X-men continuity created with the first three films. In reality Wolverine holds true to the canon very well. Sorry I missed it at the theater. :-(

Happy you liked the Wolverine movie! I didn't go see it. I was figuring it would be lame, but I guess I was wrong. I tend to trust your judgment on these kinds of films.
I found Young Doctors in Love (1982) in the bargain bin. This was a parody of hospital soap operas. I remember it being quite funny, but for whatever reason it was a box office failure compared to, say, the Airplane! films that came out around the same time. I haven't put it on yet, but hopefully it'll still be funny to me all these years later.
Also got my hands on a used copy of the 2-disc THX 1138: the Director's Cut. Really looking forward to this. Happened to catch a re-airing of the film a couple of months ago and was really blown away by it. This movie terribly confused me as a kid, but now I realize what an amazing piece of filmmaking it is.

I always like Young Doctors In Love but I haven't watched it in like 15 years. I would like to get THX:1138 as well. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm dvd shopping. My mind always draws a blank when I'm standing in the store trying to make a selection. :-)

I just picked up the 3rd and 4th Terminator films for $5 a piece. It's good to have the entire set now even though there are peaks and valleys in quality.

Legend was the impetus for me buying the other 4; I just had to have it, and the deal meant I had to get 5. I must have looked through the dvds 3 times before seeing DMDWP....I'm glad I found it, tho.

Did it look as if there was a chance there might be another copy of DMDWP or was it at a pawn shop? I must know.
