  1. Here is my updated grid. I got ahead of myself last night: 2 13 7 47 4 8 15 16 23 42 9 18 45 6 10 33
  2. Challenge #36 1) First up is Scarface. I was ecstatic when this was announced. I still remember waiting on the Mantalab release that sadly never happened and I held off on buying the standard edition in hopes that another one would be released 2) Next is Lord of War. Probably my favorite Nic Cage movie. I still have the old 2006 Blu-ray that had a woman bizarrely explaining how menus worked on Blu-ray...in the menu as if DVD had never existed. I still put it on sometimes for a good laugh. I thought the glasses slip was a little cheesy at first but it won me over after seeing it in person. 3) Lastly, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This steelbook is just gorgeous. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I was skeptical going into this movie due to Chadwick Boseman's passing but it surprised me and became one of the most fun Marvel movies I've watched in a while.
  3. Here is my submission for this awesome award I had to really think about what truly makes a movie fall into the category of fantasy. I think these all fit in some way or another.
  4. I think this look great but I do worry that we're starting to see more and more discless releases. I hope we don't eventually end up having to buy discs separately for every premium release. I personally open every release I get and watch the discs it came with so I don't like this trend.
  5. Alright. Here are my 10 submissions for the One-Click Award. Each row is for a different retailer. UHD Club The Mummy Trilogy The Dark Knight Trilogy HDZeta Saving Private Ryan Gladiator 300 Blufans The Incredible Hulk Transformers: Age of Extinction Rogue One Filmarena Captain America: Civil War World Cinema Library 2001: A Space Odyssey
  6. Looks like I've missed some good challenges since the start of this year. I was in a car crash in January which resulted in my car being totaled. I haven't really been on here much since then but I'm excited to start doing these again. Thanks to @Mrdugan for this week's challenge: Women in Film - Alien (Filmarena): Ellen Ripley is arguably one of the best characters in cinema. What would I even be doing if I didn't include her in this challenge? - Kill Bill (Yes, I consider both of them to make up one film): Beatrix Kiddo is just a badass. Plain and simple. - Okja (Criterion 4K): A great film with several strong, female characters. - Atomic Blonde (Kimchidvd): One of my favorite Charlize Theron roles. I'm always impressed by the choreography in this. - Birds of Prey (Manta Lab): Sadly, the only one of my bunch to be directed by a woman. This was a very fun movie which surprised me given DC's output in recent years. My favorite female character is Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill. I like that there's more to her than just being a killing machine. Her story is quite the journey.
  7. I wanted to resist getting this release but I don't think I'm strong enough
  8. Challenge #11: Sequels - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. This is the one that I watched the most on TV growing up. The sacrifice scenes aren't something I'll ever forget. - Rogue One. If only Disney could've brought this level of filmmaking to their other movies, the world would be a better place. This is how you respect previous movies in the franchise while adding to the story. - Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. I think the antagonist in this one is much more interesting than in the first one. The action and cinematography are also superior IMO. - The Mummy Returns. I think that knowing the characters already helps this one flow better. The Scorpion King is also a cool villain despite his CG - Underworld Evolution. Learning more of the history between the lycans and the werewolves was interesting. Also, 15-year-old-me remembers that steamy scene quite fondly. 😁 An underappreciated movie which I've always loved is Small Soldiers. I think a sequel showing the guerrillas in Central America or wherever who end up with the toys would've been a lot of fun.
  9. Challenge #3: Extras First up is the awesome Terminator edition from MAG. The light-up frame is a nice touch. Next is The Ultimate Matrix DVD Collection with the Neo bust Lastly is my Complete Collection of Lost set with the stone game and other goodies
  10. Here is my Challenge #1: Lenticulars My favorite type of lenticulars are the ones with depth. Here are 3 in this style. My favorite one is Blade Runner 2049 from HDzeta. The other two are Atomic Blonde from Kimchi DVD and Transformers: Age of Extinction from Blufans
  11. Challenge #14: The Animals Here are my 5 exhibits for this challenge: - Pig from Nova Media - The Lion King Diamond Edition steelbook - Jaws from Cinemuseum - Lawrence of Arabia steelbook - Space Jam 4K steelbook Cats are my favorite animal because I have their same energy level. I like to curl up and take naps but start getting energy later in the evening.
  12. Challenge #12 First up is Christopher Nolan. Say what you will about his dialogue mixing but the man knows how to make an entertaining film. I'm gonna have to pick Inception as my favorite. Next up is Spielberg. It's tough to pick one over the others due to the sheer amount of gems he's made over the years. I'm picking the first Jurassic Park. That kitchen scene is about as perfect as it gets. Lastly, the Wachowskis. I know that the Matrix sequels get a lot of hate and their more recent stuff hasn't been as popular but I've always loved the Matrix trilogy and think Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece.
