Sainsbury's In-Store - 3 for 18 quid

[MRH_69]

Not a massive selection, but picked up the following:-

Casablanca 2 disc (EAN = 321900 656818)
Downfall 2 disc (EAN = 060049 147093
Little Britain Series 1 (EAN = 014503 149420)

I await the posts that say, "you could have got X,Y, Z cheaper elsewhere"

I think you would be doing well to get all those for less than what you paid, the cheapest is about £7 each. And you didnt have to wait for delivery
However I am sure Partyweb will be able to pull out some crazy deals from somewhere with various links and voucher

Sainsbury's also have a few 'award winning' (their description not mine) films, many of which are available at £5.99 each (no need to buy three).

See 'award winning' films in the list on the left hand side.

I bought '2001'.

Nah, KevD, you've done better than me. Best I could do was a combined price of about £23

MRH_69, can you remember what other bargains were in the sale?

 

[MRH_69]

First the bad news, no I can't remember!

Now the good news - they're all listed here:-

Looks like the deal is online too, not just in-store.

Are the ones which look best for value out of the ones in the link.

Hmmm, could be very tempted by the following 3 for £18:

Kung Fu Hustle
The Cave
National Treasure

Ok I 'caved' in and ordered the above.

Have you seen National Treasure and The Cave Partyweb ?

 

[MRH_69]

The Cave didn't get very good reviews - see here...

Have you seen National Treasure and The Cave Partyweb ?

No, but I do enjoy the odd no-brains-no-story-action-popcorn-movie from time to time & from what I've read there's extreme mixed revews of both so @ £6 each it's worth the risk.

"if you enjoy watching flying, bloodthirsty monsters chase people around dark places, you’ll get a kick from the film"

-- Keith Breese, FILMCRITIC.COM

"So very, very stupid... and so very, very fun."

-- David Cornelius, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"Spare and single-minded, The Cave is an insistently entertaining piece of pulp."

-- Dennis Lim, VILLAGE VOICE

I think it suffered a bit from being released at the same time as The Descent which was a much better film. However, I thought The Cave was enjoyable

Cheers KevD, that sums up what I'd read about it too.

I really like the look of this (superb film!), but I'm a bit sceptical about this...

DVD features:

High Definition Film Transfer

Or am I just paranoid!?

 

[Chumpy]

It's an old 80's movie, so the image has been remastered and sound with DTS. I'd like to say I've watched my copy, but my trusty old Pioneer 717's are playing up with this disc and I haven't yet.

It's not an HD, Blu-Ray, or WMV-HD Disk if that's what you're thinking.

I was just wondering if it was worth a purchase!?

I've got the original single DVD release & I love the film, but is it worth getting this 'special' edition?

Thanks for your help.

I like Cage films... and I like Bruckheimers etc...
but National Treasure was just dull to be honest and a real letdown

Hope you enjoy it more.

I've got the R2 SE and as well as the extras it came with a nice 8 page booklet and a shiny embossed slipcover. Dunno if that helps sway you.
