Another whack of stuff for my PlayStation 2 collection, with an eye toward imports. Tokyo Road Race (EU), Blood Will Tell/Dororo (JP), Berserk Millennium Empire Arc (JP). And then good ol' domestic North American versions of Ape Escape 3 and Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2. Japanese sellers tend to have very reasonable prices and sometimes cheaper shipping than American ones do.

A mixed bag of stuff over the weekend. Hooray for payday.
- Sunshine, The Warriors, and Fargo on BluRay.
- Twilight Zone: Rod Serling's Lost Classics on DVD. I hear this little TV movie isn't very good, but I love TZ and am a completionist, so what the heck. Had to import Network's PAL release because apparently there isn't a Region 1 disc.
- Bust-a-Move Dance Summit 2001 for PlayStation 2. Another Japanese import.
- Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy for Xbox. Second time attempting to buy this as the first time around the disc was so scratched it wouldn't load.

Picked up my pre-ordered copy of Fear the Walking Dead: Season 5 on DVD (seems to have arrived a week early - it was supposed to be released on March 25). While I was in the shop I took advantage of a couple of deals going at the moment and bought Westworld: Seasons 1 & 2 on Blu-ray for $40(!), as well as Deadpool 1 & 2 and Die Hard, also on Blu-ray. That's me set for the next little while

I finally broke down and bought a big bundle of all 14 PS2 Beatmania games (well, the Japanese ones, anyway, the sole US release isn't included) plus turntable controller. It was a sizeable chunk of cash, but with my travel plans for the year canceled, I thought I'd get myself a treat instead. Had my greedy little eyes on it for months.
In a few short weeks I should be able to annoy my neighbors with Japanese pop and electronica all hours of the night.

Thanks to Royal Mail still going strong, I've got Buster Keaton and Ultraman to keep me for the next few days. The Return Of Ultraman (the 4th season in the Ultra franchise) is one of the most bonkers. While Seven Chances is along with Sherlock Jr probably my favourite Keaton. Two new releases and ones I've been looking forward to.

Picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn - Complete Edition. Had my eye on this game for a while now, and as the price has finally come down to something more than reasonable ($24!) I thought it was probably time to get it. Between my studies and other activities I've got going on at the moment, I hope to finish it before The Last of Us Part II comes out

Got a whole bunch of crap since who knows how long Amazon/eBay/the post office will be operating more or less normally.
For movies, I snapped up four Kevin Smith films on BluRay - Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma. The latter two look like they're becoming hard to find, so I might as well get them before the price balloons too much. I'm not a big fan of the Jorted One's efforts in the past decade or so, but I'll take his 90s output any day.
And for games, I ordered Ar Tonelico 1 & 2, and two Castlevanias - Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness. All four for PS2.

I've met Kevin Smith a couple of times going back to the early 2000s and he's exactly the same person in real life as he presents - funny, warm and really genrous with his time. It's no great secret his movies have gone wayyyy downhill since he became a born-again pothead in his 30s but he's happier than ever and doesn't have to play the Hollywood game as much. I do think that while Tusk or Yoga Hosers are pretty worthless, Red State is a legit good film with a tour de force lead from Michael Parks. I'd recommend anyone to watch that along with Louis Theroux's docs on the Westboro Baptist Church as a double feature.

Newtwork have a sale on their wonderful British film range at the moment, buy one get one free (and their titles are already often cheap). Picked up The League Of Gentlemen, the great caper film from 1960; Oh..Rosalinda! - one of the rarest Powell and Pressberger films and The Rebel and Punch And Judy Man, the only two films Tony Hancock ever made as a lead. The Rebel is a limited edition as it comes with a full facsimile for the script of the unmade film that would have been the second Hancock film, The Day Off. That's like getting a copy of the grail - a totally unreleased Hancock project by Galton and Simpson...treasure indeed. For anyone who fancies anything, the sale ends tomorrow networkonair.com/103-the-british-film

It's good that he's in a better headspace now, as a person I wish him all the best. But as a simple viewer, the movies are either good or they're not. I'll look into Red State and see if it looks interesting. I don't think I've seen that one. I would be pretty interested if he ever gets the Mallrats sequel off the ground, because what would that even look like, given the absolutely dreadful state of malls these days?

For anyone who fancies anything, the sale ends tomorrow networkonair.com/103-the-british-filmIt ended today at 4pm originally. Its been extended till Monday now so having another gander with more time to consider. Mainly interested in Blu-ray restorations, but limiting to two purchases. I bough the Hancock's on DVD last year so not sure about them. The Rebel, states that initial copies have the script so no guarantee there of getting the limited edition. I have got carried away in the past with Network sales and like plenty others online, end up with a pile of stuff that gets a once over. Looking at The Ghoul, Green for Danger, Death Line & Perfect Friday as most interesting (got Green/Danger on DVD) that I have not already got or have seen enough of over the years. Talking Pictures TV covers similar territory for a lot of the offerings, but on lucky dip, see what they are showing basis. Fans of Spearhead from Space may be interested in this Robert Holmes storyline for a fiver (many plot elements reused for Who): Pe

Really small font too, get the readers out Death Line is terrific - top tier non-Hammer or Amicus Brit-horror. Donald Pleasence is fantastic in it. I have The Ghoul too as a Karloff-hound and that's pretty wonderful in spots though not up there with the best of his non-Frankenstein work of the era like The Raven or Black Cat. A few random blus of theirs I've loved in The British Film range; Hands Of The Ripper - one of the best 70s Hammers with a wonderful turn from Eric Porter. Lovely releases of Black Narcissus and Thief Of Bagdad are great value to pick up not just two excellent Michael Powell films but two of Sabu's best roles. Raise The Titanic is an average film but with a wonderful sequence of, well, raising the thing and most importantly comes with an option to listen to just the score which may be the best thing John Barry ever composed. And Hell Drivers - cool and thrilling at a time when British films just weren't like that. And features one of the best casts going - Stanley Baker, Patrick McGoohan, Herbert Lom, Peggy Cummins, William Hartnell, Sid James, Gordon Jackson and Wilfrid Lawson as well as Sean Connery and David McCallum before hitting it big.

Thanks for the Tips. Hell Drivers is a classic though I have seen it many times: James Bond, Doctor Who, John Drake/The Prisoner, George Cowley, George Dreyfus & Illya Kuryakin in one film - that takes some beating for cult franchise actors in one film before their time. I have seen it twice on telly the past year alone, so will skip it for now. Turns out I don't have Green for Danger except for VHS, so looking between either Death Line or Oh Rosalinda! to add to make it a good two release purchase.

Turns out I don't have Green for Danger except for VHS, so looking between either Death Line or Oh Rosalinda! to add to make it a good two release purchase. Oh Rosalinda I could only recommend if your time of Powell and Pressberger also includes The Red Shoes and especially Tales Of Hoffman. It's far, far away from Colonel Blimp, Matter Of Life And Death and the like. Death Line is a genuinely solid Brit-horror - it's got an alt-title in the US that gives the plot away a bit too much - but I think it's up there with the likes of Horror Express as films that have the people we would see in Hammer and Amicus films but a few years on and with a story that if it were made a decade later would be just gratuitous nonsense. If you're an Alistair Sim fan, as I'd imagine you would be if you love Green For Danger (and who isn't a Sim fan once they see enough of him?) then you might not know The Green Man is coming to bluray from Studiocanal next month - with interviews with Stephen Fry and Matthew Sweet on the disc! www.zoom.co.uk/product/the_green_man_blu_rayTalking Pictures is a great channel where I find a lot of films that Network and Indicator put out on bluray, and a lot that wouldn't be in good enough quality to upgrade so getting them on telly is great as there's really no other channel showing these kind of British classics. If you watch it all day you're liable to see John Mills at least 4 or 5 times Which is NO complaint!

Today's new arrival's and tonight's watching - the wonderful Blinded By The Light and the new Woody Allen film (the one that Amazon shelved) A Rainy Day In New York. Blinded By The Light I really want to single out as it kinda came and went last summer from cinemas and I was lucky enough to catch it. It isn't just my jam because it's essentially about the transcendent power of the music of Bruce Springsteen who is one of my heroes (I don't talk about music on here as much but as those of you who have me on Facebook know, I post about music and film more than anything.. It's also a really touching coming of age film about growing up "different" in an era that isn't always kind. Here a teenage Muslim boy in the little England of the 80s finds help through music of The Boss. If you liked films like Pride or Billy Elliot or East Is East - get on it. I haven't seen A Rainy Day In New York - it's difficulties getting distribution are well documented for reasons we need not go on about here - but any new Allen gets my attention. I had to import from Italy, hence the text on the front cover. I've been looking forward to seeing it for quite a while.
