Nash, TN DVD Deals of the Day/Week

For the week of 12/07/03 (Remember Pearl Harbor!) to 12/13/03:
Bad Boys II: Will & Martin are back and have arrived for $15.99 at Best Buy, Target (?), and Circuit City (?). Best Buy will sell you both this film and its original version for $25.
M*A*S*H Season 5: Hot Lips finally gets featured on the cover! Best Buy & Target have this title listed for $29.99, but as always, Sam's Club will likely have a better price. Update to come. Best Buy is also knocking off $$ for multiple season purchases: 2 saves $10, 3 gets you $15, 4 gets you $25, & getting all 5 saves $40. FYI, Walmart.com has it listed for $27.98 so it is likely a lower price in the stores.
Gigli: A part of me can't believe this film can be that bad with JLo shaking it and Pacino being mobbed up, but based on reviews that sound like their talking about the SW Holiday Special, it should be safe to call this a bigger bomb than anything we dropped on Iraq (OR the biggest bomb since Fat Man or Little Boy). The poop lands at Best Buy for $15.99.
Dirty Dancing (Ultimate Edition): This classic film that has a special meaning to me (not too long of a story, another time maybe) lands for $12.99 at Best Buy & Circuit City in a 2-disc set. Each will also knock off $5 if you buy the Ultimate soundtrack ($11.99 at Best Buy). Isn't much different than the Collector's Edition that I paid too much for along time ago (now that edition is mucho cheap), but they remastered it and included a new commentary and some BTS stuff.
How to Deal: A Mandy Moore glick that I'm not familiar with lands at Target & Circuit city for $15.99.
Buffy TVS (Season 5): Sarah Michelle Geller nails a stake throught the heart of this 6-disc set for $45.99 at Best Buy, Target & Circuit City. CC will knock $10 off if you also buy any one of the first 4 seasons; Target has the same deal, but only on seasons 3 or 4. BB will give you the original Kristy Swanson Buffy film for free (9.99 value).
Lizzie McGuire: America's latest jail bait blonde has a couple of episodes coming out this week for $14.99 each at Circuit City and Target.
Target Box Sets: Firefly (Season 1) $35.99; Simpsons (Season 3) $39.99; Family Guy (Volumes 1 or 2) $39.99; Friends (Season 5) $39.99; Sex & the City (Season 4) $39.99; Will & Grace (Season 1) $34.99; Saved By the Bell (S1 & S2) $39.99; King of the Hill (S2) $39.99.
CC's 2 for $20 Choose from: Tears of the Sun, Desperado (SE), Black Hawk Down (Bare Bones), Bad Boys (SE), 2 Can Play That Game, Spiderman, XXX, Resident Evil (SE), National Security, or Half Past Dead. They also have a selection of X-Mas classics for $12.99.
BB's 2 for $20 Like above: Spiderman, Desperado (SE), Stand By Me, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Darkness Falls, Lawerence of Arabia (1-disc), Dogma (SE 2-disc), Hook, Donnnie Brasco, Memento (Bare Bones), Charlie's angels (Superbit), Snatch, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind (1-disc).

"MASH" & maybe "Dirty Dancing" are my picks of the week. Happy Shopping and remember that during a Holiday sale, headbuts are allowed if there are less than 4 door buster items left. Also, biting your rival isn't frowned on during this time of year. (JK, in case any psychos are reading this)

 

Quick update: Sam's Club has M*A*S*H Season 5 for $25.87 at the Antioch location.

 

Well, this will hopefully not take long as I need to start preparing for tomorrow's LOTR marathon (sleep). For the week of 12/14/03 to 12/20/03:
Seabiscuit: The sleeper hit of the summer (what do you expect when Spider-Man rides a horse?) is out on disc for $15.99 at Target and Circuit City. Best Buy wants $16.99, but they include the paperback book on the package. See my WMT forecast below. The Seabiscuit Gift Set includes the WS DVD, 20-page behind the scenes book, collectible film cell and more is $39.99 at Best Buy. Circuit City advertises a "2-disc collector's set" for $29.99, unsure if this is the same as the gift set.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Sean Connery film that failed to generate summertime box office buzz comes to disc with actor, producer, & visual effects commentaries, a making of featurette & 12 deleted scenes. Everyone appears to want $19.99 for it, but Circuit City will include an exclusive LXG comic book with purchase. Best Buy's website indicates a price of $17.99.
Freaky Friday: The supprisingly still good looking Jamie Lee Curits stars in this chick flick for tweens for $15.99 at Circuit City & Target.
Escape from NY: Snake Plissken's initial release is back in a SE with 2 commentaries, original bank robbery opening, featurettes, and more is $15.99 at Target.

Nat. Geographic's Beyond the Movie: LOTR: Return of the King: The documentary includes free movie cash for LOTR: Return of the King with purchase (valid 12/17 to 1/17/04) is $19.99 at Circuit City. NOTE: CC is the only one advertising the free ticket.

On Golden Pond: Hank Fonda's swan song is $14.99 at Target and is part of a 3 for $30 deal at Best Buy.
BB's 3 for $30: Titles include: Bad Boys I, Terminator 1, Fight Club (1-disc), XXX, Reservior Dogs, Young Guns, Die Another Day, Tears of the Sun, Mission Impossible, Spinal Tap, The Usual Suspects, Babershop, Stuart Little 1 & 2, Sleepless in Seattle (SE), Moulin rouge (1-disc), Runaway Bride, My Best Friend's Wedding, Legally Blonde, Footloose, Pretty in Pink, Steel Magnolias, Mask of Zorro (superbit), Labyrinth, the Princess Bride, Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, and Ice Age.
Wal-Mart Predictions: Well, I've noticed that my local WMT seems to put the big new releases out for $14.25 (last week it was Bad Boys 2 & something else (sorry)). So, I'm going on a limb & predicting the following being priced around $14.25 at your local WMT: Seabiscuit & Freaky Friday. We'll see if I'm right. [EDIT] Turns out Seabiscuit & LXG were the two discounted movies, but were only cut to around $15.78 or so.

See y'all next! DVDMaster, MBA is soon going to be Out at the Movies! Please note that isn't a San Fransisco, Judy Garland -loving comment.

 

Well kids, not a lot of new deals so far this week. May be more when the after X-mas sales happen. By the way, I don't know how busy I'll be during the holidays so I may not post an update for the holiday sales. Hope y'all will understand. For the week of 12/21/03 to 12/24/03:
Jeepers Creepers 2 (SE): The scary sequel is $16.99 at Circuit City who also has the original film for $13.99.
New Releases: Include The Medallion and Alex & Emma, but everyone appears to want $19.99 for them.
Circuit City has a bunch of films from $8.99 to $12.99. See your Sunday ad or check their website for titles.
1st Season Deals: Best Buy has the first seasons of The Sopranos for $49.99 and of Sex & the City for $19.99. They also have the Indiana Jones Trilogy for $49.99 plus you'll get a $20 gift card for a future purchase.

Zach -- any word on the best deals for Underworld? I believe it's being released this Tuesday.

 

Sorry guys for not having an update last week, but I was busy preping for the party and trying to not get sick. A more complete update will come later, but in answer to Dylan's question:

Underworld: Kate Beckinsale stars in the action-packed tale of ruthless intrigue and forbidden passion, set amidst a gothic metropolis & an underworld teeming with vampires & werewolves. The DVD features: Director/writer commentary, The making of story, trailers, creature features and more. Target, Best Buy, & Circuit City have the disc for $15.99.

The days of Wal-Mart pricing a new disc for $14.25-14.77 appear to be over as SWAT and American Wedding were each $15.87 last week. There is always the chance that WMT will make Underworld their $15.87 title of the week as this appears to be the release of the week. I wouldn't be surprised to see that sales for American Wedding were low since the ad wizards at Universal didn't street this title until Friday and while WMT had it for a decent (not great) price, they didn't carry the Unrated version due to the company being a bunch of prudes.

A complete update for the week is to come. TTFN for now!

 

Well, I'm back to bring y'all the newest news (is that phrase redundant?) and the FIRST update of 2004. Past news bulletins will be maintained as a reference for any who speculate on future prices of DVD release. DVD deals for the week of 1/04/04 to 1/10/04:

NOTE: Be aware that Target has a very limited stock of DVDs. I tried to find Dirty Dancing for $10 last week on Sunday when the ad came out couldn't find it anywhere including BB who I was going to force a price match on. Same was true for some of the films this week. Not sure if Target will raincheck items. For $7.50 each: Dark Blue, A Guy Thing, Legally Blonde 1, Nicholas Nickleby, Guys & Dolls, and West Side Story (1-disc).

I'm exhausted from typing all of this, so if you're still reading at this point, then you deserve to win a prize. What's the prize?..."'Oh, uh, there won't be any money,

 

The quote is of course from CaddyShack & said by our favorite green keeper/ Gopher killer Bill Murry. Did I WIN!

"Oh, a race. Its a race! Its a race! I hope I win."

Name that quote

 

Very good Scott, although I wasn't trying to start a quote thread. Really it was just more of a test to see if anyone had gone blind reading the long update for this week. I figured someone would get it by lunch time!

 

Maybe we should start a quote thread.

Scott's, I believe is by good ol' Mr. Bean from Rat Race.

 

Quick update for today. Went to Sam's Club in Antioch and here's the prices I found:

The Shield (Season 2): Was $39.82
Alias (Season 2: Is $38.87
Cheers & Frasier (S2): Each 2nd season set was $30.77
Buffy: TVS (Season 5): Is $37.88

Just thought someone out there may want to know!

 

Once again, I'm slightly late with my update. This time it was due to being away from the computer with a minor illness. All better now (I think). Hopefully no one's been waiting for this with too much expectation as this is a lite week for DVDs. For the week of 1/11/04 to 1/17/04:
Freddy vs. Jason (Platinum Series): The long awaited meeting of two of horror's favorite killers is out a loaded DVD for $15.99 at Target, Best Buy, & Circuit City. You can likely save a few pennies at Wal-Mart, but that's unconfirmed. Best Buy will knock off $28 if you also buy the Nightmare on Elm Street DVD collection for $87.99.
Jeepers Creepers 2: (Rerun) Best Buy again has the disc for $15.99 hoping for secondary sales from the aforementioned title.
Spiderman the New Animated Series (SE 2- disc set): The new series is out for $19.99 at Circuit City.

For the first time in many weeks, MediaPlay did not put out an ad. Starting to look weak on their side of the fence again. See y'all next week!

 

Hey, here's one you've never had on your list and it has SW roots. It's only $5.50 at your local Wally-World and ALOT better than any episode of M*A*S*H*.
1973 Paramount Picture's "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell" starring Peter Cushing as Baron Victor Von Frankenstein and.....wait for it, wait for it....David Prowse as the monster. This DVD comes in wide-screen only and has a commentary by David Prowse. Rated R for violence.

 

Very cool news on the Frankinstein film. I have that title on VHS, but never thought to look for it on DVD. Have to take a look next time at WMT. Deals for the week of 1/18/04 to 1/24/04:
Stargate SG-1 (Season 5): The action packed season set is $49.99 for the 5-disc set at Circuit City & Best Buy. BB will knock $15 off it you buy any 2 seasons or $50 if you buy all 5 seasons. Sam's Club MAY have this title for $40 or a little less in a week or so, but they always seem tardy on the SG-1 titles. I took advantage of a Amazon.com price break with Hama pre-ordered his set, but we've got over a week to wait for the items.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico: The third Mariachi film (one I've been waiting on for some time) is out for $15.99 at BB & Circuit City. BB will sell you this title and the 2-pack box set Desperado/El Mariachi for $25. Not a bad price for the whole trilogy.
The Simple Life: The Paris Hilton videos that aren't all over the Internet is out on disc with 30 minutes of never-before-seen footage for $12.99 at Circuit City.
Punked (Season 1): Demi's "70s Show" boy toy's popular MTV series hits DVD shelves with never-before seen footage on a 2-disc set for $15.99 at Circuit City.
Open Range: The perfect gift for any cowboy fan hits the market for $17.99 at Best Buy (per their website). Buy this title and for $9.99 more BB will also give you Tombstone (WS collection, NOT the Vista Series).

Jeremiah (Season 1): The little-heard-of Luke Perry series is out in a 6-disc set for $54.99 at Best Buy.

That's enough for this week. Crystal ball guess for WMT is that they'll offer "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" ($16.88) for less, but that's just a guess. Hope to see y'all at the NAD meeting at my home this Saturday! TTFN.

I'll post my regular update soon, but here's some big news form tvshowsondvd.com:

If any of you have read my reviews of the Stargate SG-1 DVD sets then you'll probably recall that I don't own season 1. Yesterday I was on a mission to buy it, and I stumbled upon an incredible deal that I wanted to share with you.

Amazon.ca has the first 3 seasons for $34.49 CAN per set! That works out to roughly $26 US, or HALF of what Amazon.com is selling them for! If you've been putting off buying the seasons, or haven't gotten into the show before, now's your chance. You can buy the first 3 seasons for under $100 US, including shipping.

You may have heard that some Canadian releases include French on their packaging, but the MGM releases do not.

 

For the week of 2/22/04 to 2/28/04:
SNL: the Best of Will Ferrell: For those who missed out on last week's sale on this title at Target, Wal-Mart (at least the Antioch location) has the title for less at $9.44.

Party with your "Friends" Party Pack: This release came to my attention on Monday. This is a Target exclusive that they didn't advertise.

Scooby-Doo Season 1 & 2 is supposed to be out tomorrow too. This is the ORIGINAL animated cartoon from the 60's, not the new Cartoon Network series. Also, the 1st season of the original Flintstones is coming out on DVD too.

At Best Buy you can purchase BOTH of these sets together & save $25. Both DVD sets are running $52.99 each.

The Running Man FS & WS is also on sale this week for $14.99

Also at $14.99 are Mall Rats, Clerks, Chasing Amy, & Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back

Meanwhile Circuit City is offering The Running Manat $12.99

& Wal-mart is offeringScooby Doo Seasons 1 & 2 for $44.87! Knowing the Cool Springs Wal-mart, they probably won't even have theirs out in the store until Wednesday, unless there is a big display for them. SLACKERS!!!
I may have to just order my copy through Amazon.com since you can get this for free shipping & no TN state sales tax (& no hastle from Wallyworld).

 

Well, it appears that Scott's going to be aiding me on the column this week. For the week of 3/14/04 to 3/20/04:

Cat In the Hat: The Mike Myers (SNL, not "Halloween") Christmas release is $15.99 at Circuit City & Target(?). Target is unconfirmed and their website lists the "low price" as $18.89. Whatever their price, they'll give you a free exclusive bubble watch with the purchase of the DVD or VHS. Best Buy's got it for $16.99, but they'll give you a bonus disc that includedsthe Smash Mouth video "Hang On" and the video game trailer.

The Flintstones (Season 1) and Scooby-Doo: Where are You? (Seasons 1 & 2): See Scott's homework in the above post. The Wal-Mart price he reports is from their website and may not be what you find in store. Last week's "Mona Lisa Smile" is $1 cheaper in the Hickory Hollow WMT than what was listed on the company's website. Bearing an unconfirmed WMT price it appears Best Buy wins especially if you buy both of these classic series. Small chance Sam's Club may beat all of these prices. If I make it to a Club I'll post an update.

Cheaper By The Dozen: The original 1950 version of the film detailing the lives of the Gilbreth's (familiar to business students out there) is coming to Circuit City for $12.99.

Veronica Guerin: Cate Blanchett stars in this true story for $15.99 at Target.

Kung Fu (Complete 1st Season): The 3-disc set of Chang "walking the Earth" is $24.99 at Circuit City.

21 Grams: The Oscar-nominated film is $17.99 at Best Buy. "They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death...everyone."

The Running Man (SE): The Schwarzenegger 2-disc special edition features director commentary a few new featurettes and is $12.99 at Circuit City (as mentioned by Scott).

Absolutely Fabulous: Complete Series 5: The 2-disc set is $24.99 at Circuit City.

The Commitments (SE): The 2-disc set is $14.99 at Best Buy.

Lizzie McGuire Movies: America's favorite jail-bait girl has 2 new collections "totally Crushed" and "Star Struck" for $14.99 each at Target.

Best Buy's 2 for $15 offer: See the selection of films at Best Buy

Kevin Smith Sale @ Best Buy: Scott listed the films in his above post. Also Dogma (SE) is $22.99.

That'll about do it for this week. Tune in at the same Bat-Time and the same Bat-Channel for Nashville's Best Deals on DVDs.

 

I'm helping just this week Zach! Don't get used to it.

BTW, Next week is : THE RUNDOWN starring, THE ROCK! I just hope the price is better than the $22+ that Amazon.com is listing!
