Before DVDs came along there was VHS. I never bought a single movie on VHS, my brother only bought 3 (SE Star Wars) and my younger brother about 10 (a mix of 80ies films like Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Red Dwarf).

But now we seem to buy DVDs all the time, collectively we have just under 200 DVDs now and we buy atleast 1 DVD a week as a family. (we used to rent a lot but we dont anymore and the nearest cinema is 30 minutes drive away). I guess it is good news for the television and film industries. Anyone else noticed that they're buying more DVDs than they did VHS?

My recent DVD purchase was Donnie Darko Prism Edition. At a very nice price of £4.99 to encourage those who wouldnt have bought the film otherwise, despite having no special features. It's a very interesting and unusual film nothing like I've seen before.

I also pre-ordered a DVD boxset. Most of you are too young and would probably confuse it with the awful Matt LeBanc movie that came out years ago. It's the Lost In Space Series 1 boxset. 8 DVDs, 31 episodes, a collective running time of 23 hours and 42 minutes (possible marathon attempt?) At a nice price of £39.99 "DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!"

Anyone else buy anything on DVD lately?

Just this minute bought Once Upon a Time in Mexico; there was a double disc version that also had Desperados but that cost £25. Shall be watching this one tonight, saw it at the cinema and liked it and I'm in the mood for some nice, brainless action.

My mam bought The Italian Job and Bringing down the house yesterday.

My 'Christie Malry's Own Double Entry' arrived yesterday and I went to post office and picked my Alien quadrilogy up this morning.

It was a good film! But it was a strange one. Suppose that's what you get for watching a John Malkovich piece.

I will show restraint and await the 4 or 5 disc deluxe version with some silly statue thing later in the year.

My most recent purchase is now a Japanese film called Azumi. Not a clue what it is about but it was in Newtype magazine and looks great.

Once Upon A Time In Me'hico and They Live. Haven't seen They Live for years ("I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm ALL out of bubblegum.") and hadn't seen Mexico until now. Wasn't bad.
