RT on DVD: Bolt, Bond, and Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter

jack giroux

I am going to get Black Freighter and Bolt tomorrow from netflix, I hear Bolt is a lot better then it looks. I somehow do not own 400 Blows, so I will try to pick it up some where down the line- also since Criterion dvds are generally so damn expensive, how much will there Blu Rays cost? Quantum, I will probably not watch again, not a bad movie, its actually enjoyable I think. But I just don't see a reason why I should watch it again. Also cool DVD news is that Benjamin Button is going Criterion, which is pretty interesting- I am sure it will give the Benjamin Button haters more reason to complain. I love Benjamin Button, I don't think its a perfect masterpiece, but I can see why some would call it that. But I definitely don't get why people can't enjoy it.
Slumdog Millionaire comes out next week, which I will pick up. Other then that, nothing for me until The Wrestler... oh and Doubt.

I have to pick up Tales of The Black Freighter tomorrow. Ive been looking forward to that for a while, and will definitely satisfy my craving for the directors cut for the time being. Does anyone know exactly how much longer the directors cut will be? I have heard a few different numbers and I'm not sure what the accurate number is.

Surprisingly, Bolt is an excellent film. And dare I say Miley is an asset, her voice is engaging in animation.

I'd rent "QOS". Haven't seen it yet, but I'm setting the bar really low. I'd say "Casino Royale" was one of the best films of 2006, so "QOS" really can't live up to expectations. I'd rent "Bolt" and "Black Freighter".

I'll buy Bolt. It was actually quite good. I am not sure whether to rent Black Freighter, or just buy it right away. I will want to get Quantum of Solace eventually, but to save money I think it can wait. I may just look for some older films that are on sale. I think I saw that Best Buy has Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Running Scared on sale, so I may get those. I'll probably try to rent a few of the other movies on the list.

juggernautives, i think running scared is one of the most under rated films ever, good to hear that somebody else likes it or has even seen it, without me telling them to. Qos was pretty good, i'm gonna buy it because i'm sure the blu ray will at least look awesome.

I think I'm going to pick up Quantum of Solace this week and rent Black Freighter. I'm going to buy the ultimate edition of Watchmen Zack Snyder was talking about so I'll wait til then to own it. Bolt is actually a really good movie but i don't think i need to own it right now.

I don't really see the point in buying Black Freighter, since it will be included in its entirety on the director's cut of Watchmen anyway, right? Maybe I'm wrong about that, but that was my understanding. As a standalone feature I don't really see the appeal, I think releasing it separately is just a money grab.

"Who is Silly Sausage, every week they do this column and every week the same group of people comment on it. That's just how it goes i enjoy reading what everyone is picking up and their opinions on everything."

I agree, Mike. I too enjoy reading Jokerboy and everyone else's opinions about the new releases each week (although I'm not sure why).

Methinks Silly Sausage doesn't give a $h!t, because he can't give a $h!t, because he has other things up his butt, like that which he based his user name from.

In fact, it appears that he had some "Silly Sausage" in his butt when he took that picture!

Care to confirm, SS?

Recently, quite a few celebrities were said to appear on " C e l e b m i n g l e. C 0 M " It is a hot celebrity and millionaire singles club, OMG!!! They are indeed so rich that they feel boring ..

Can't believe nobody's mentioned picking up the Fast and Furious trilogy or Rob Schneider's directorial debut!?... Wow I can't even type that with a straight face.
Had planned on picking up the Black Freighter but if it's going to be on the Watchmen extended director's release I might not. Anyone have any information on that?
Will buy QOS just for the fact of owning the next Bond film.
And The Cake Eaters looks intriguing as a rent.

My brother getting Quantum, so I'll borrow it for him. I'm quite broke these days, so I'm waiting for used version of Australia, Milk and Slumdog to come out at my video rental store. But I'll rent Bolt, that's for sure. After all the positive review I heard about it...

Getting Bolt (awesome filck, I think the best animated film of the year, sorry Wall E and Panda) and QoS asap. That movie was non-stop hardcore action and a true sequel to Casino Royale. I can't wait to watch them together.

I will wait for Solace on DVD. Yeah, you heard me right. Once Bond 23 comes out, they will realease a better version, just like Royale. I really want to see that alternate ending, even if it did suck...

"Big Stan" sounds like the worst movie ever created. No, the worst thing ever created. I can't even begin to describe how terrible it sounds. ROB SCHNEIDER IS EVIL! I HATE HIM! IT SOUNDS LIKE HIS WORST FILM! THE WORST FILM EVER! I swear he's possesed by Satan.

I added Quantum of Solace to my rental to-do list.

And if expressing my thoughts on this week's new releases is too long-winded for some of you, then let me express to you THIS:
