Recent Acquisitions - 9-1-2005
With even more great DVD's going on clearance, and a variety of new movies hitting the shelves, it's time to update the collection and provide you with a listing of newly acquired goodness.
I also wanted to once again tout DVD Profiler, a DVD Collection detailing program as well. I've been able to follow new releases and more via that programs newest features and it's been great to have a one-stop source to checkout whenever I add in new entries.
We're throwing three more into My Collection. The first is one that touches not only the heart, but offers up one of the few ridiculous comedies:
TOMMY BOY: In 1997 Chris Farley died, and was clearly gone too soon. His short but solid impact is offered in what is his best offering as a comedic actor, "Tommy Boy" starting a cavalcade of stars from all over Hollywood, and fosters what was one of the best comedy teams on the planet. He and David Spade offered a relationship that many people my age and a bit younger can totally connect with. The sniping, decadent insult that supports many-a-relationship is something that a great many people can relate with.
While Tommy Boy doesn't offer an Academy Award Winning film for viewers to watch, it does offer a glimpse into a career that could have gone a long way, with features that include some great commentaries and behind the scenes stuff that is not to be missed. A segment with Chris' brothers is particularly interesting.
THREE KINGS: Two of my favorite like-to-watch actors (Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube), and George Clooney are in this film, and it offered what is a decidedly different view of the first Iraqi War. I am interested in hearing the director commentary from director David Russell who has completely different views than I do on war, but offered one of the movies I remember most from the late 90's.
AMERICAN PSYCHO: This is the movie that brought Christian Bale to stardom and to the interest of many who have enjoyed his career so far. It's an "Uncut Version" so I am interested to see how "un-toned down" this version is. The movie as I originally recall was already very graphic and very dark.
Be sure to check the links about these films here and let me know if you have any opinion on any of the information that I've provided here.
