For
Mr. Biscuits, it’s the thrill of the hunt...digging for discounts
wherever they may be. Sure, you could order from Amazon or spend your
hard-earned kibbles on something already used, but what’s the fun
in that? So if you’re a movie collector on a tight budget, let Mr.
Biscuits’ show you some of his latest bargains. And
worry-not, kitties...we stalked and snatched these goodies before the
current apocalypse.
DORIS
DAY AND ROCK HUDSON ROMANTIC COMEDY COLLECTION (Blu-ray) – When
I was a kid, my little sister used to watch these things when our local TV channel aired them on weekends. Though romantic
comedies weren't my genre of choice, I have to admit I got
sucked into Send Me No Flowers. Even today, it’s a very
funny film, as is Pillow Talk. Seconds notwithstanding, Rock
Hudson was never considered a dynamic actor, but the chemistry he
shared with Doris Day was undeniable. This set collects the three
films they did together, including Lover Come Back. ($5.00
at Big Lots).
TO
KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (Blu-ray) – Like many of you, I was forced
to read the book in high school. Though it was better than I
expected, reading wasn’t my favorite activity. Had home video been
a thing back then, I would have rented the movie instead. I'd
have aced the final, too, because the film is remarkably faithful to
the novel. The film still holds up today and features one of Gregory
Peck’s best performances...at-least until his child-stabbing
escapades in The Omen. ($5.00 at Big Lots).
SOME
LIKE IT HOT (Blu-ray) – Monroe at her most beautiful, Lemmon
and Curtis at their funniest. For five bucks, I don’t see how
anyone can pass this one up. Like The Thin Man, this classic
isn’t just funny for its time. Some Like it Hot is one of
the funniest films of any decade...and “get a load of that rhythm
section!” ($5.00 at Big Lots).
