I have found it pays to shop around for DVDs. The best places to buy are online at DeepDiscountDVD, Buy.com,
and Amazon.comor at local stores like COSTCO,
Best Buy, and Circuit City. DeepDiscountDVD usually has the best price of all and there is no tax or shipping charge,
so always look there first. Be sure to check my Listmania list and reviews at Amazon.com
Movies not worth the money on DVD:
Blade Runner (Director's cut version comes up short, to bad uncut version is not on DVD)
Please write me if you have any questions about movies or some good movie links. Thanks! "The Rook"
