DVD Haul: June 16 & 24,2013

Never a day passes by that whenever I watch a movie,there's always a DVD or more to go with it.And after watching World War Z today,I immediately rushed into Astrovision in Glorietta 4 to get some.And I got 4 DVDs.Those are (In alphabetical order) American Beauty,A Nightmare On Elm Street,Jurassic Park Trilogy and Lawrence of Arabia.Also,forgive me and don't put me to exile for the low-res pics,I just took 'em with my phone's camera.

Here they are as they go:


1.American Beauty:


First up is,5 Oscar Winner American Beauty starring Kevin Spacey,Anette Benning,Thora Birch,Wes Bentley,Mena Suvari,Peter Gallagher and Chris Cooper.I didn't got this film for 1 reason,but 3.First of all,it's a great film from what I heard and has Kevin Spacey in one of his best performances yet.Second,it's a gem with a P100 price tag which I'm thankful for.And third,it's a five time Oscar winner so no doubt it'll be great.American Beauty is on sale for a valuable price of P100.

2.A Nightmare On Elm Street:


Not the crappy remake,but of course the iconic 1984 horror movie hit-classic.After watching the great,horrific Evil Dead 2,I planned to get this and voila! I got it now right in the palm of my hands.There really are a lot of reasons to get this.First of all,it's a great 80s modern horror film that is loved by the mass and is definitely a cult classic.And second of all,it's just great and loved.Nothing more,nothing less.A Nightmare On Elm Street is available on DVD for P199.


3.Jurassic Park Trilogy



Finally! I made the right choice and got this.Despite the fact that I only need and want the first one,the other 2 films complete each other as a trilogy.The first one is of course,the classic childhood movie helmed by master director Steven Spielberg that impacted a lot of 90s kids except me (I actually haven't seen this entirely).While the second is still directed by Spielberg,it is miles apart from the first in terms of greatness.The third is directed by Joe Johnston and is claimed to be the worst between the two sequels.Well,I have to see it to believe it.But yet,I am still very happy I finally got this.Jurassic Park Trilogy Boxset is available on DVD for P300.


Last but not definitely the least,Number 4: Lawrence of Arabia.



If you thought that the only reason that I got this is because of the cheap price,then you are wrong.Not to insult you or anything,but you have thought wrongly 'cause I got this due to the fact that this is an epic classic and a great film by all means.Well,I'm a liar 'cause the cheap price is also one of the reasons why I got it.But hey,it's a P100 gem that needs not to be ignored.Lawrence of Arabia is on sale for P100.


Well,that's it for now, but since I got 2 DVDs last Sunday (June 16,2013) and forgot to do a "DVD Haul" post regarding that,I might as well include them here.


*Bonus* Number 5: Superman The Movie (1-Disc)


I decided to get this last Sunday (6/16/13),since I watched Man of Steel the day before that.I absolutely have no regrets in getting this,knowing that it is iconic and great by comic-book movie standards  before the superhero movie hype.Superman: The Movie is available on DVD for P187 (1-Disc) and P375 (2-Disc).

*Bonus* Number 6: Hitchcock's Vertigo


After Hitchcock shocked and impressed me simultaneously with his famous masterpiece Psycho,I immediately planned to get another thriller from him and that is Vertigo.I just can't wait to watch this.Also,this is recommended by a friend of mine and since this is one of Hitchcock's finest works,it surely won't disappoint and dismay.Vertigo is on sale for P100,being a gem.
Well then,that's actually it.Done,gone,boom,over.Stay tuned for my next DVD Haul...

*Btw,all of those DVDs mentioned above are available to own distributed by Magnavision Home Video.
